local-scout Delegates codebase exploration to the local scout subagent (runs on a fast local Qwen model with QMD + opty tools). Load this skill only when the user explicitly asks to use scout, use local scout, or scout a task. Do NOT load automatically for general exploration — only when scout is explicitly requested.

Local Scout

Delegate codebase exploration to the scout subagent, which runs on a fast local model (Qwen) augmented with semantic search via QMD and HDC-indexed context retrieval via opty. It is cheap, fast, and keeps the main context clean.

When to use

  • User says "use scout to find …", "scout: …", or "use local scout"
  • You need to gather broad codebase context before planning
  • The task is primarily "look around the codebase" rather than making precise edits

How to invoke

subagent({ agent: "scout", task: "Find and summarize the authentication flow" })

The scout writes its findings to context.md and returns a summary. Use the summary or read context.md for the full structured output.

Tips

  • Be specific in the task description — the scout infers thoroughness from it
  • For deep traces, prefix with "Thorough:" e.g. "Thorough: trace all usages of X"
  • For quick lookups, prefix with "Quick:" e.g. "Quick: where is the config loaded?"
  • Do your own reading only when you need precise line-level content to reference in your response
