Surfaces

Tools plus guidance.

Codex Scout adds the Scout MCP server and a purpose-built skill so Codex knows when to route through Scout.

messages_send

Send tell-style updates and direct messages to Scout-known agents with explicit routing metadata.

invocations_ask

Ask another Scout agent to do owned work and track the reply through broker flights.

agents_resolve

Resolve ambiguous handles before routing when a short Scout address needs disambiguation.

How it works

The plugin keeps Codex packaging small. Scout owns identity, broker state, delivery, and work lifecycle records.

The wrapper prefers a local scout executable and falls back to bunx @openscout/scout.

If Codex has not provided OPENSCOUT_SETUP_CWD, the wrapper defaults it to $HOME instead of the plugin directory.

The skill tells Codex to use structured target fields for DMs, channels, asks, and background work.
