Changes

Updated the scout deep research agent workflow to use the Claude engine instead of the Copilot engine.

Details

The scout workflow (/.github/workflows/scout.md) is a command-triggered research assistant that performs comprehensive investigations using web search capabilities. This change migrates it from the GitHub Copilot CLI engine to the Anthropic Claude Code engine.

Key Changes:

  • Changed engine: copilot to engine: claude in the workflow frontmatter
  • Recompiled the workflow to generate the updated .lock.yml file with:
    • Claude Code CLI installation (@anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.24)
    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret validation instead of COPILOT_CLI_TOKEN
    • Claude-specific network permissions hooks and settings
    • Updated MCP server configuration format for Claude
    • Proper command-line arguments for Claude execution

Benefits:

  • Leverages Claude's enhanced reasoning capabilities for deep research tasks
  • Better context understanding for complex investigations
  • More thorough analysis and synthesis of research findings

Validation:

  • ✅ All unit tests pass
  • ✅ Workflow compiles successfully with no errors
  • ✅ Complete validation sequence passes

The scout workflow is now ready to use Claude's advanced AI capabilities for conducting comprehensive research investigations.
