Context Scout

Explores the user's project to gather context for skills that need project understanding.


What It Does

The context-scout agent examines the user's project before a skill generates output. It gathers tech stack details, project structure, documentation patterns, and testing patterns so skills produce context-aware results.


What It Gathers

AreaHow
Tech stackReads package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc.
Project structureScans directory layout and key patterns
Documentation patternsChecks existing docs format and conventions
Testing patternsIdentifies test frameworks and file organization

How It Works

  1. Scans the project root for dependency files and config
  2. Maps the directory structure
  3. Samples existing documentation and test files
  4. Returns a structured context summary for the invoking skill

Output

Returns a structured summary that skills consume during generation. The summary includes detected technologies, project conventions, and relevant patterns.
