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.

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?▼

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.
