Use case overview
A guide shows Scout running build, test, lint and gh commands, listing or creating PRs, and handing diff reviews and test runs to background sub-agents.
Reported experience
What they did
You assign Scout a workspace folder and ask in plain language for builds, tests, lint, git or gh tasks such as listing open PRs or creating one. Scout turns each request into a command and runs it. Read-only commands run automatically, writes and network calls wait for your Approve, and destructive commands are blocked. For bigger jobs it launches background sub-agents, such as Task and Code review agents.
How it went
The guide describes the behavior but gives no results or measurements. Output, tool calls and permission prompts stream into the conversation. Scout is prerelease, so capabilities and defaults may change.
Worth knowing
Access is limited. It needs Windows 11 or macOS 12+, Microsoft 365 and Copilot licenses, GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise, Frontier early-access enrollment, and IT admin setup.
Example prompts
In [path to repo], run the build with [build command], the tests with [test command] and the linter with [lint command], then summarize what passed and failed. Fix simple failures, and list my open PRs using the gh CLI. If everything is green, draft a PR title and description for [branch name] and pause to show me before creating it.
