SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify and surface relevant files, models, and artefacts spread across software, data-engineering, devops, and analytics surfaces before making changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Internal (Explore subagents) mode for fast, parallel discovery across multiple repo areas.
  • External (Gemini/OpenCode) mode for large-context scouting when CLIs are available.
  • Generates a Scout Report listing paths with concise one-line descriptions to help engineers plan changes.

Quick Start

Map the workspace for a given target and run parallel scouts across non-overlapping scopes to surface relevant files and artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions about scout

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I locate relevant files and artifacts spread across multiple software and data-engineering folders?▼

Yes, you can use external Gemini/OpenCode mode for large-context scouting when those CLIs are available, applying it across software, data, DevOps, and analytics domains operating over multiple folders and artifact types.

How do I locate relevant files and artifacts spread across multiple software and data-engineering folders?▼

Parallel codebase scouting locates relevant files and artifacts across software, data, DevOps, and analytics domains by running parallel scouts across non-overlapping scopes to surface paths with concise one-line descriptions.

How do I search a repository to surface files before making code changes?▼

To scout a repository, map the workspace for a given target and run parallel scouts across non-overlapping scopes. The process uses internal Explore subagents for fast discovery or external Gemini/OpenCode CLIs for large-context scouting.

Does codebase scouting work with external CLIs for large repositories?▼

Yes, you can use external Gemini/OpenCode mode for large-context scouting when those CLIs are available, applying it across software, data, DevOps, and analytics domains operating over multiple folders and artifact types.

What is the difference between internal Explore and external Gemini modes for codebase search?▼

Internal Explore subagents provide fast, parallel discovery across multiple repository areas, while external Gemini/OpenCode modes offer large-context scouting when those CLIs are available in your environment.

How does parallel scouting handle timeouts and report results across non-overlapping scopes?▼

Scouting requires parallel task orchestration, non-overlapping scopes, and timeout handling. It generates a structured Scout Report listing per-file paths with one-line descriptions to help engineers plan changes.
