What problem does it solve?

This Skill rapidly locates files within a codebase, enabling efficient task context gathering and quick searches across directories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Scouting: Utilizes multiple agents to search different parts of the codebase simultaneously for speed.
  • Flexible Search: Supports both internal (Explore) and external (Gemini/OpenCode) agent types for diverse needs.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature that spans multiple modules, use Scout to quickly identify all relevant files and understand the project structure before writing code.

Quick Start

Use the ck:scout skill to find all files related to user authentication in the src directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find files fast across a large codebase?

You can find files fast across a large codebase by using parallel agents to search different directories simultaneously, efficiently locating files and gathering task context.

What is the best way to gather task context before starting a new feature?

Gathering task context before starting a new feature is best achieved by scouting the codebase with parallel agents to quickly identify all relevant files and understand the project structure.

Can I use external agents for codebase scouting?

Yes, you can use external agents for codebase scouting; the system supports both internal Explore agents and external Gemini or OpenCode agents for parallel searches.

How does parallel codebase scouting work for file discovery?

Parallel codebase scouting works by analyzing prompts, dividing directories, and registering tasks for multiple agents to execute searches simultaneously, aggregating the results for fast file discovery.

Does parallel scouting support searching multiple directories simultaneously?

Yes, parallel scouting supports searching multiple directories simultaneously by dividing the codebase across various agents to execute parallel searches and aggregate the results.
