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
| Area | How |
|---|---|
| Tech stack | Reads package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc. |
| Project structure | Scans directory layout and key patterns |
| Documentation patterns | Checks existing docs format and conventions |
| Testing patterns | Identifies test frameworks and file organization |
How It Works
- Scans the project root for dependency files and config
- Maps the directory structure
- Samples existing documentation and test files
- 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.
