/scout

Purpose

Search the codebase for files needed to complete the task using a fast, token efficient agent.

Variables

USER_PROMPT: $1 SCALE: $2 (defaults to 3) REPORT_OUTPUT_DIR: Use Report: from ## Naming section

Workflow:

• Write a prompt for 'SCALE' number of agents to the Task tool that will immediately call the Bash tool to run these commands to kick off your agents to conduct the search: spawn many Explore subagents to search the codebase in parallel based on the user's prompt.

How to prompt the agents:

• IMPORTANT: Kick these agents off in parallel using the Task tool, analyze and divide folders for each agent to scout intelligently and quickly.
• IMPORTANT: Instruct the agents to quickly search the codebase for files needed to complete the task. This isn't about a full blown search, just a quick search to find the files needed to complete the task.
• Instruct the subagent to use a timeout of 3 minutes for each agent's bash call. Skip any agents that don't return within the timeout, don't restart them.

How to write reports:

• IMPORTANT: Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing reports.
• IMPORTANT: In reports, list any unresolved questions at the end, if any.
