Competitive reconnaissance for your project — what do the repos solving this same problem do better, and what's worth adopting? Finds peer repos (ranked by activity, downloads, dependents — never raw stars), mines what their users beg for — issue reactions, releases, docs claims, every finding with a locator — and verdicts each candidate feature ADOPT/ADAPT/SKIP/WATCH, where SKIP is the default and "a competitor has it" is never a reason. ADOPT items become ready seeds for feature or…
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 — know the neighbors before building blind `/scout` — find peer projects, then reconnoiter them `/scout <owner/repo> [...]` — reconnoiter exactly these peers `/scout deep <owner/repo>` — one peer, source-level (clone + file:line evidence) Answer one question: **what have the projects solving this same problem learned that we haven't — and which of those lessons deserves to exist here?** Both halves matter: a scout that only returns "features to copy" is just an automated parity trap. The deliverable is judgment: adopt this, skip that, and the evidence either way. ## Step 0 — Know thyself first Recon of others starts with a fix on your own position: - Read this repo's `AGENTS.md` (the map skill writes it), `README`, and its own issue tracker's top-reacted open requests. Distill: **the project's job in one sentence**, and its **differentiation axis** — the thing it does that peers don't, which every later verdict is judged against. - Read `out/scout/tracker.md` if it exists: peers already scouted, verdicts already made. A feature SKIPped with a reason isn't re-litigated unless the evidence changed; repeat runs open with **"Since last scout"** — new …

How to install
mdr add duthaho/skillhub/scout@sha256:67d63905ea40d103The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.429242b, 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.
