// How the scout scans environment, industry, tools, world. Surfaces patterns that inward-focused roles wouldn't notice. Use when boss asks "what's brewing?" or scout fires on its own initiative.
How the worker approaches deep work — research → plan → ship → verify → log. Use when the worker has been handed a task that requires more than a single tool call.
Graduate findings into wiki entries. Read findings/ in any building, judge which patterns are sturdy enough to promote, write entries via the wiki MCP. Use when the librarian is doing curation passes or when boss flags accumulated learnings for promotion.
How boss routes work across the town. The discipline of delegation — when to hand off, who to, with what brief, what to expect back. Use when boss is about to do work itself instead of delegating.
Pull structured knowledge from unstructured sources (emails, web pages, transcripts, files, conversations) into wiki-ready shape. Use when the librarian is asked to "extract what we know about X" or to file something from external systems.
How to run, define, and report on Workflows — the standing jobs the cortex owns. A Workflow is a Goose recipe (the goal) + a trigger.yaml (when it fires + trust). Use when a workflow fires (a matching file lands in inbox/, a schedule, or a webhook job), when the owner says "put my X on a workflow" / "run my workflows", or to pause/change one.

The scout looks outward while the rest of the town looks inward. This skill is the scout's scanning rhythm.
