Dispatch the Scout agent to explore: $ARGUMENTS
Use the Task tool with subagent_type: "scout" (the custom .claude/agents/scout.md agent) to investigate this topic. Pass the full arguments as context.
After the Scout returns, present the Scout Report to the user with:
- The structured signals found
- Cross-domain connections
- Recommended areas for the Cartographer to map
If the Scout report suggests immediate mapping would be valuable, suggest /map as a follow-up.
