Use when the user asks for ultra work, scout work, broad pre-implementation scouting, or parallel investigation before a large Brigade task. Designed for Codex and other SKILL.md harnesses that can delegate or split work.
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
# ultra-work-scout Use this skill when a task is important enough to scout before changing code, especially when the user asks for "ultra work", "scout this", "use scouts", "use subagents", or "really scope this out". ## Mission Turn a large request into a small number of parallel, bounded scouting jobs, then bring the results back into one implementation path. Scouts gather context and risks; they do not replace the main agent's ownership of the final change. ## Default Scout Set Start with the smallest set that can answer independent questions: - **Surface scout**: find the public commands, docs, templates, and user-facing entry points that must change. - **Install scout**: trace init, upgrade, profile, and default-install paths so new users get the intended behavior. - **Verification scout**: identify focused tests, full checks, and existing flaky or environment-sensitive gates. Only add more scouts when the work naturally splits into independent repos or subsystems. ## Main Agent Loop 1. State the immediate local task you will keep yourself. 2. Assign scouts concrete questions with disjoint read or write scopes. 3. Keep moving on non-overlapping work while scouts run. …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/ultra-work-scout@sha256:dcac8b8a66195a86The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260630.cfeea78, 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.
