SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify relevant files in a codebase and generate a concise file map.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel researcher agents collect context and produce a file map without exposing full file contents.
  • Output is a prioritized list of file paths with a brief relevance note, enabling quick scoping and planning.
  • Use Case: When starting a new project or exploring a large repository, generate an overview of where key files live and how they relate.

Quick Start

Run the scout on a target path to produce a concise, prioritized map of relevant files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover relevant files in a large codebase?

To discover relevant files in a large codebase, this Skill deploys up to 4 parallel researcher agents to partition the scope, analyze layers and languages, and output a prioritized file map of relevant paths without exposing full file contents.

What is the best way to generate a file map for project discovery?

Generating a file map for project discovery is best handled by parallel researcher agents that coordinate to cover varied project sizes, avoid overlap, and output a concise, prioritized list of file paths with brief relevance notes for quick scoping.

Can I use parallel agents to scope a repository with multiple programming languages?

Yes, you can use parallel agents to scope a repository with multiple programming languages. The orchestration harnesses up to 4 agents, partitioning the scope to cover different layers, concerns, and languages without overlap.

How do I get an overview of key files when exploring a new project?

To get an overview of key files when exploring a new project, run the scout on a target path. It produces a concise file map showing where key files live and how they relate, enabling quick scoping and planning.

What are the limitations of using parallel researchers for codebase discovery?

A limitation of using parallel researchers for codebase discovery is that output is capped at a maximum of 20 files per agent, and the prioritized map provides only brief relevance notes without exposing full file contents.
