Claude Code plugin

Scout coordination for Claude Code.

Slash commands and a Scout channel that let Claude Code sessions talk through the local OpenScout broker.

Surfaces

Commands plus a channel.

Claude Scout gives Claude Code a deliberate command layer and an ambient broker-backed message path.

/scout:ask

Create owned Scout work and return durable flight info; target acknowledgement and completion continue in the conversation or notifications.

/scout:send

Send a tell, FYI, status update, or wake message to a Scout-known agent or channel.

scout channel

Push broker-routed Scout messages into the running Claude Code session and expose reply tools.

How it works

Thin wrappers over Scout.

The plugin keeps Claude-specific packaging small. Scout owns broker state, routing, and agent identity.

01

Commands shell out to the Scout CLI

Slash commands call the local scout executable, or fall back to bunx @openscout/scout when needed.

02

The channel runs scout channel

The channel subscribes to broker activity and forwards Scout messages into Claude Code using Claude's channel APIs.

03

Routing stays structured

Use --project plus optional --harness for fresh capability routing, --to for known targets, and --ref for returned continuity handles. Message body text stays payload.
