From the SKILL.md

# Bloodhound Scout 🐕 The bloodhound doesn't wander aimlessly. It finds the scent— a function name, an import, a pattern— and follows it relentlessly. Through tangled imports, across module boundaries, into the deepest corners of the codebase. The bloodhound maps what it finds, creating trails others can follow. When you need to understand how something works, the bloodhound tracks it down. ## When to Activate - User asks to "find where X is used" or "understand how Y works" - User says "explore this codebase" or "map this system" - User calls `/bloodhound-scout` or mentions bloodhound/tracking - Joining a new project (learning the territory) - Tracing bugs through multiple files - Finding all instances of a pattern - Understanding dependencies and connections - Preparing to refactor (know the territory first) **Pair with:** `elephant-build` for implementing after exploration, `panther-strike` for fixing found issues --- ## The Hunt ``` SCENT → TRACK → HUNT → REPORT → RETURN ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ Pick Up Follow Deep Map the Share Scent Trail Dive Territory Knowledge ``` ### Phase 1: SCENT _The nose twitches.

PRIMARY — Grove Find (the bloodhound's best tools)
gf --agent search "functionName"   # Pick up the scent across the codebase
gf --agent func "getUserById"      # Track down a function's definition
gf --agent usage "UserProfile"     # Follow every trail this name leaves
gf --agent class "PaymentService"  # Find where a class/component lives
gf --agent impact "src/lib/auth.ts" # What trembles when this file changes?
Git context — orient before tracking
gw context                         # Where are we? Branch, recent changes, state

About this skill
What does the bloodhound-scout skill do?

Track code through the forest with unerring precision. Pick up the scent, follow the trail, and map the territory. Use when exploring unfamiliar codebases, finding patterns, or understanding how systems connect.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill bloodhound-scout-autumnsgrove-groveengine --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
