scouting

What problem does it solve?

Helps engineers and contributors rapidly understand an unfamiliar repository by locating entry points, configuration, and related files so they can plan changes or onboard faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Top-level mapping: Enumerates project directories and highlights boundaries like packages and services.
• Key file discovery: Finds entry points, CI/CD, config, and documentation files relevant to a task.
• Pattern and dependency tracing: Uses grep-style searches and file reads to trace imports, references, and dependency chains; useful for locating where a feature is implemented or what modules a change will affect.
• Use Case: When assigned a bug or feature, run this to produce a concise list of relevant files and a short architecture note before editing code.

Quick Start

Ask the scouting skill to explore the repository and produce a concise scout report listing top-level structure, key files, and the most relevant files for the target task.
