Scout

When to Use

Use the scout agent for tasks requiring its specific core functionality. This is a built-in pi agent.

Procedure

1. Call the scout agent directly or via a chain/parallel task.
2. Provide the necessary requirements or context.
3. The scout will perform its specialized role (e.g., planning, research, review, or orchestration).

Pitfalls

• Ensure you provide clear instructions; built-in agents are powerful but require well-defined goals.
• For multi-step tasks, consider using a chain to pass information between different agents.

Verification

• The scout agent returns the expected output in the requested format.
• The logic follows the expected behavior for its specific role.
