Scout - Quick Exploration

Delegate exploration tasks to the Scout agent (haiku model - fast & cheap).

Usage

/scout how does authentication work here?
/scout where is the database schema defined?
/scout what options do we have for caching?
/scout                    # will ask what to explore

Process

If no question provided, ask: "What do you want to explore?"
Delegate to Scout agent:

"Scout, explore: [question]

Context:
- Project: [current directory/project name]
- Relevant area: [if obvious from question]

Return:
- What you found
- How it works
- Options (if applicable)
- Unknowns or questions for the user"

Present Scout's findings to the user
Ask: "Want me to dig deeper on anything?"

When to Use

"How does X work in this codebase?"
"Where is Y implemented?"
"What are our options for Z?"
"Find all places that do X"
Before starting work on unfamiliar area
Quick research on approaches

Scout's Strengths

Fast (haiku model)
Systematic (follows code paths, checks tests, looks at git history)
Evidence-based (cites files and line numbers)
Surfaces unknowns (doesn't hide gaps)

Examples

Exploring a feature:

/scout how does the scraper handle rate limiting?

Finding implementations:

/scout where are all the API endpoints defined?

Researching options:

/scout what libraries could we use for PDF generation?

Understanding patterns:

/scout what's the error handling pattern in this codebase?
