What problem does it solve?
When a short local probe leaves a task non-trivial with multiple files, plausible causes, or verification risks, scout-skeptic provides an additive overlay that gathers evidence and challenges the current theory. It coordinates read-only scout and skeptic passes only when a threshold of questions exists, otherwise it can run locally to avoid unnecessary delegation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bounded, read-only scout and skeptic passes that surface evidence, alternative explanations, and risks.
- Threshold-based fanout: dispatches narrow objectives to child agents or runs locally to avoid implementation ownership.
- Integrates with existing Codex runtime styles and workflows to support debugging, verification, and cautious closeout across software development and research tasks.
Quick Start
Run a bounded scout-skeptic checkpoint after an initial probe to gather evidence and challenge the current theory.
