SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scout eliminates the time-consuming guesswork of locating the right files, patterns, and relationships needed to start a task or debug an issue.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parallel codebase discovery: Rapidly searches directories using targeted Glob/Grep strategies to surface relevant files.
Context-first reporting: Produces a concise report of relevant files, key patterns found, and any unresolved gaps.
Debug and change safety: Helps you understand impact areas before edits by mapping where concepts live across the repository.

Quick Start

Use the scout skill to search for all references related to "SKILL.md" and return a Scout Report of matching files and patterns.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find relevant files across a codebase for feature planning?▼

Locating relevant files for task scoping is done by applying wide-ranging Glob and Grep patterns across directories. This approach aggregates matching files and key patterns into a concise report without requiring full-file reading.

What is the best way to scope a debugging task without reading every file?▼

Scoping a debugging task without reading every file requires aggregating codebase findings using targeted Glob and Grep searches. This maps where concepts live across the repository, producing a context-first report of relevant files and unresolved gaps.

Can I use glob and grep patterns for parallel codebase discovery?▼

Yes, parallel codebase discovery rapidly searches directories using targeted Glob and Grep strategies. This determines where specific concepts and conventions live across the repository, returning a concise report of matching files and patterns.

Does codebase scouting help understand impact areas before making code edits?▼

Codebase scouting helps understand impact areas before edits by mapping where concepts live across the repository. It applies wide-ranging Glob and Grep patterns to identify relationships and conventions, ensuring change safety before you modify files.

When do I need repo navigation for initial debugging context?▼

Repo navigation for initial debugging context is needed when you require relationship understanding across a codebase without reading every file. It uses deterministic discovery patterns to surface relevant files and conventions, aggregating them into a concise report.
