What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly find files and understand codebase structure, saving you time when navigating large or unfamiliar projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Agent Scouting: Utilizes multiple agents to search different parts of the codebase simultaneously for efficiency.
  • Flexible Search: Supports both internal exploration using built-in agents and external scouting with specialized models for broader or deeper searches.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature that touches multiple modules, use Scout to quickly locate all relevant files and understand their relationships before writing code.

Quick Start

Use the scout skill to find all files related to authentication within the src directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I quickly navigate a large codebase to find relevant files?

To quickly navigate a large codebase, you can use parallel agents to divide the codebase into logical segments, enabling simultaneous file discovery and rapid codebase exploration across directories.

What is the best way to search for files across multiple directories simultaneously?

The best way to search across multiple directories simultaneously is by using parallel agent scouting, which processes different parts of the codebase at the same time to locate relevant files efficiently.

Can I use external large context models for codebase exploration?

Yes, you can use external large context models like Gemini and Grok-code for codebase exploration, supporting both internal explore subagents and external scouting for broader or deeper searches.

How do I gather task context before starting a new feature in an unfamiliar project?

To gather task context before starting a new feature, use parallel agents to scout the codebase, locating all relevant files and understanding their relationships to provide detailed task management.

Does parallel codebase scouting work with SQL for task management?

Yes, parallel codebase scouting supports detailed task management via SQL todos for coordination, ensuring organized tracking of exploration tasks across parallel agents.
