| description | Launch a Scout research session as a background process. Goes outward — discovers new information about KB entities via web search, docs, and APIs, then integrates findings. |
Launch a SCOUT research session as a background process on this machine.
Do the following steps:
-
Run nohup bash ~/Scout/run-research.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & to launch the research session in the background. Capture the PID.
-
Find the most recent log file: ls -t ~/Scout/.scout-logs/research-*.log | head -1
-
Report to the user:
- Confirm the research session is running and show the PID
- Show the log file path so they can tail it if they want:
tail -f <log_file>
- Remind them that research sessions typically take 10-15 minutes and cover: selecting research targets from the queue and KB entities, deep web research, knowledge integration into entity files, and a Slack summary DM when done.
