What it does
Vc Scout is an agent skill from withkynam/vibecode-pro-max-kit. Fast codebase scouting using shell search and optional parallel research agents. Use for file discovery, task context gathering, and quick scoped searches across directories.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/external-scouting.md`, `references/internal-scouting.md` and `references/task-management-scouting.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: Your AI forgets. This remembers. Spec-driven coding harness for vibecoders, product owners, CEOs and real builders — self-improving context memory, 15 agents, 33 skills working…. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Task context gathering
- Quick scoped searches across directories
Example prompts
- “/vc-scout”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bcb2f9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vc Scout loads about 960 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Scout
Output style: Follow
process/development-protocols/communication-standards.md— answer-first, plain language, no unexplained jargon, TL;DR on long responses.
Fast, token-efficient codebase scouting using parallel agents to find files needed for tasks.
Arguments
- Default: Scout using local shell search plus optional parallel
research-agentdelegation (./references/internal-scouting.md) ext: Scout using external Gemini/OpenCode CLI tools in parallel (./references/external-scouting.md)
When to Use
- Beginning work on feature spanning multiple directories
- User mentions needing to "find", "locate", or "search for" files
- Starting debugging session requiring file relationships understanding
- User asks about project structure or where functionality lives
- Before changes that might affect multiple codebase parts
Quick Start
- Analyze user prompt to identify search targets
- Use a wide range of Grep and Glob patterns to find relevant files and estimate scale of the codebase
- Use local shell search first, then optionally spawn parallel
research-agentworkers with divided directories when the search space is large - Collect results into concise report
Configuration
Read from .claude/.vc.json (falls back to legacy .claude/.ck.json if present):
gemini.model- Gemini model (default:gemini-3-flash-preview)
Workflow
1. Analyze Task
- Parse user prompt for search targets
- Identify key directories, patterns, file types, lines of code
- Determine optimal SCALE value of subagents to spawn
2. Divide and Conquer
- Split codebase into logical segments per agent
- Assign each agent specific directories or patterns
- Ensure no overlap, maximize coverage
3. Register Scout Tasks
- Parallel task registration and external orchestration patterns are optional, not required for normal scouting in this repo
- See
references/task-management-scouting.mdonly when you are intentionally coordinating a larger parallel scout workflow
Show full SKILL.md (151 more words)Show less
4. Spawn Parallel Agents
Load appropriate reference based on decision tree:
- Internal (Default):
references/internal-scouting.md(shell search plus optionalresearch-agentparallelism) - External:
references/external-scouting.md(Gemini/OpenCode)
Notes:
TaskUpdateeach task toin_progressbefore spawning its agent (skip if Task tools unavailable)- Prompt detailed instructions for each subagent with exact directories or files it should read
- Remember that each subagent has less than 200K tokens of context window
- Amount of subagents to-be-spawned depends on the current system resources available and amount of files to be scanned
- Each subagent must return a detailed summary report to a main agent
5. Collect Results
- Timeout: 3 minutes per agent (skip non-responders)
TaskUpdatecompleted tasks; log timed-out agents in report (skip if Task tools unavailable)- Aggregate findings into single report
- List unresolved questions at end
