Scout
Fast, token-efficient codebase scouting using parallel agents.
Arguments
- Default: Explore subagents in parallel
- ext: External Gemini/OpenCode CLI tools
Workflow
1. Analyze
Parse user prompt for targets, key directories, patterns, file types. Determine SCALE (subagent count).
2. Divide
Split codebase logically. Each agent gets distinct scope, no overlap.
3. Register Tasks
Skip if <=2 agents or Task tools unavailable.
TaskList -> use existing. Else TaskCreate per agent with scope metadata.
Metadata: agentType, scope, scale, agentIndex, totalAgents, toolMode, priority:P2, effort:3m.
See references/task-management.md for patterns.
4. Spawn
Load internal (references/internal-scouting.md) or external (references/external-scouting.md).
TaskUpdate each to in_progress before spawning. Max 3m per agent. Skip timed-out.
5. Collect
Aggregate: deduplicate paths, merge descriptions, note gaps/timeouts, list unresolved.
Report Format
# Scout Report
## Relevant Files
- path/to/file.ts - description
## Unresolved Questions
- any gaps
Configuration
Read .claude/.ck.json: gemini.model (default: gemini-3-flash-preview).
Invoke /hi:project-organization to organize outputs.
