What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers quickly find files and understand project structure across a codebase, especially when starting new tasks or debugging.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parallel Agent Scouting: Utilizes multiple agents to search directories simultaneously for efficiency.
Flexible Search: Supports both internal (Explore) and external (Gemini/OpenCode CLI) agents for diverse needs.
Use Case: When beginning work on a new feature that spans multiple directories, use Scout to rapidly identify all relevant files and understand their relationships before writing code.

Quick Start

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I find relevant files across multiple directories before starting a new coding task?▼

Codebase scouting with parallel agents locates relevant files across multiple directories simultaneously. It uses internal Explore or external Gemini/OpenCode agents to gather context and identify file relationships before you begin writing code.

What is the fastest way to discover files in a large codebase?▼

Parallel agent scouting runs multiple agents concurrently to locate files efficiently. This token-efficient approach searches directories in parallel rather than sequentially, providing rapid file discovery across your project.

Can I use Gemini or OpenCode for file discovery in my project?▼

Yes, Gemini and OpenCode are supported as external agent types for file discovery. You must configure these external models beforehand to enable them to gather context and locate files across your directories.

How do parallel agents handle timeouts during codebase searches?▼

Parallel agent execution includes built-in timeout handling to manage scouting operations. This ensures that file discovery tasks across directories complete efficiently without hanging during the search process.

Do I need to configure any dependencies before using parallel agent scouting?▼

No dependencies are required for the internal Explore agent. However, if you choose to use external Gemini or OpenCode agents for file discovery, you must configure those specific models first.

What is the difference between internal Explore and external Gemini agents for codebase scouting?▼

Internal Explore agents handle file discovery natively within the environment, while external Gemini and OpenCode agents require prior configuration. Both locate files and gather context across directories, but external agents offer alternative search flexibility.
