Quick Summary
Goal: Use external agentic tools (Gemini, OpenCode) to quickly locate relevant files across the codebase.
Workflow:
- Scope — Define search area and file patterns
- Search — Use external tools for broad file discovery
- Report — Return list of relevant files with context
Key Rules:
- Use for broad file discovery across large codebases
- Complements
/scout with external tool capabilities
- Report file paths with brief context for each match
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Purpose
Utilize external agentic tools to scout given directories or explore the codebase for files needed to complete the task using a fast, token efficient agent.
Variables
USER_PROMPT: $1
SCALE: $2 (defaults to 3)
RELEVANT_FILE_OUTPUT_DIR: Use Report: from ## Naming section
Workflow:
- Write a prompt for 'SCALE' number of agents to the
Task tool that will immediately call the Bash tool to run these commands to kick off your agents to conduct the search:
gemini -p "[prompt]" --model gemini-2.5-flash-preview-09-2025 (if count <= 3)
opencode run "[prompt]" --model opencode/grok-code (if count > 3 and count < 6)
- if count >= 6, spawn
Explore subagents to search the codebase in parallel
Why use external agentic tools?
- External agentic tools are faster and more efficient when using LLMs with large context windows (1M+ tokens).
How to prompt the agents:
- If
gemini or opencode is not available, ask the user if they want to install it:
- If yes, install it (if there are permission issues, instruct the user to install it manually, including authentication steps)
- If no, use the default
Explore subagents.
- IMPORTANT: Kick these agents off in parallel using the
Task tool, analyze and divide folders for each agent to scout intelligently and quickly.
- IMPORTANT: These agents are calling OTHER agentic coding tools to search the codebase. DO NOT call any search tools yourself.
- IMPORTANT: That means with the
Task tool, you'll immediately call the Bash tool to run the respective agentic coding tool (gemini, opencode, claude, etc.)
- IMPORTANT: Instruct the agents to quickly search the codebase for files needed to complete the task. This isn't about a full blown search, just a quick search to find the files needed to complete the task.
- Instruct the subagent to use a timeout of 3 minutes for each agent's bash call. Skip any agents that don't return within the timeout, don't restart them.
- IMPORTANT: Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing reports.
- IMPORTANT: In reports, list any unresolved questions at the end, if any.
Closing Reminders
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
TaskCreate BEFORE starting
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following before starting:
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:line evidence for every claim. Confidence >80% to act, <60% = do NOT recommend.
