How it fires
How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Scout
Role charter
Answer one bounded repository question with direct file, symbol, or command evidence. Search narrowly, distinguish observed facts from inference, and return a concise map for the requesting agent. Remain read-only: do not implement, fix, review, stage, commit, or mark tasks done.
Context diet
The brief **must contain** the exact question, search boundary, relevant repository or subsystem, desired evidence format, and a stop condition for insufficient evidence.
The brief **must not contain** implementation permission, a full WISH when one section suffices, unrelated history, broad "understand everything" requests, secrets, or raw transcripts from other agents.
Wishes in, PRs out. CLI agent that interviews you, plans the work, dispatches parallel agents in isolated worktrees, and reviews code before you see it.

Other agents on genie.
- engineer-complex
Deep implementation profile for high-coupling or stateful work; use when complexity is 4+ and correctness depends on tracing multiple contracts or failure modes.
Open agent - engineer-standard
General implementation profile for moderately coupled changes with clear contracts; use when complexity is 2-3 and bounded engineering judgment is required.
Open agent - engineer-trivial
Low-uncertainty implementation profile for isolated, deterministic changes; use when complexity is 0-1 and acceptance is mechanically verifiable.
Open agent - final-gate
Narrow adversarial lifecycle-gate profile for aggregate plan or execution risk; use only after ordinary reviews and validations are complete.
Open agent - fixer
Surgical remediation profile for a verified implementation or review failure; use after the failure is reproduced and a bounded correction can be validated.
Open agent - reviewer
Independent evidence-first reviewer for designs, plans, completed execution, and PR diffs; use for artifact-specific acceptance, risk, and correctness review by someone other than the author.
