# codebasescout
Scout a codebase to identify high-value work, plan the fixes (point and architectural), and produce a ranked map from codebase to tasks, each tagged with a recommended model, without ever implementing the fix. Cheap-model agents sweep and score every file by Impact x Opportunity (1-5); the router then runs meta-level pattern analysis, plans point and architectural fixes, and recommends a model per task. Team: target guard, skip gate, formula, profile, parallel scorers, ranker, pattern-grouper (meta-level analysis + architectural fix planning), task-writer (point-fix planning), model-recommender. Objectives: bugs, security, tech debt, dead code, performance, conversion.
