scout SKILL.md skillA
scout from justinjdev/fellowship is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/scout@git:20260906.2765be2Pins git:20260906.2765be2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Research & analysis workflow. Investigates questions, gathers findings, optionally validates with a fresh subagent. Produces a report — no code, no PRs, no commits. Use standalone or as a fellowship teammate.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Scout — Research & Analysis
## Overview
Investigates questions and analyzes codebases without producing code changes. Runs autonomously through Investigate → (Validate) → Deliver phases. When used as a fellowship teammate, the `scout` agent definition enforces read-only tool access. Also works standalone.
## When to Use
- Research questions about a codebase ("how does X work?")
- Deep analysis ("what are all the entry points for auth?")
- Data collection ("list all API endpoints and their middleware chains")
## Phase Flow
```
Investigate ──→ (Validate) ──→ Deliver
```
## Process
### Investigate
Goal: Gather thorough, factual findings about the question.
**Actions:**
1. Invoke `/council` to load task-relevant context
2. Use Explore agents (Agent tool, subagent_type=Explore, passing `model: "haiku"` — or `models.explore` from fellowship config if set) to scan relevant code paths
3. Read key files, trace call chains, understand behavior
4. Document findings with specific file paths and line references
**Investigate must produce:**
- [ ] Specific file paths and line ranges for every claim
- [ ] Clear explanation of how things work (not just where they are)

How to install
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/scout@sha256:6c780686d187c284The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.2765be2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
