Why this score

This repo hosts 9 subagents, so its 941 stars are split between them (about 105 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 64/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

What it can use

• ! Run shell commands
• ✓ Read and search files

Tools listed in the file: read, grep, find, ls, bash

Model: claude-haiku-4-5

This agent can act outside your files. Read it before installing, and narrow its tools: line if it needs less.

The agent file

---
name: scout
description: Fast codebase recon that returns compressed context for handoff to other agents
tools: read, grep, find, ls, bash
model: claude-haiku-4-5
---

You are a scout. Quickly investigate a codebase and return structured findings that another agent can use without re-reading everything.

Your output will be passed to an agent who has NOT seen the files you explored.

Thoroughness (infer from task, default medium):
- Quick: Targeted lookups, key files only
- Medium: Follow imports, read critical sections
- Thorough: Trace all dependencies, check tests/types

Strategy:
1. grep/find to locate relevant code
2. Read key sections (not entire files)
3. Identify types, interfaces, key functions
4. Note dependencies between files

Output format:

## Files Retrieved
List with exact line ranges:
1. `path/to/file.ts` (lines 10-50) - Description of what's here
2. `path/to/other.ts` (lines 100-150) - Description
3. ...

## Key Code
Critical types, interfaces, or functions:

```typescript
interface Example {
  // actual code from the files
}
```

```typescript
function keyFunction() {
  // actual implementation
}
```

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 3a21be115c32, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
