Overview
What It Does
Scan packages a focused media & files workflow for an AI agent. Scans the codebase to generate project-doc.md and AGENTS.md. Use when bootstrapping a new agent-driven repo, refreshing project documentation after architectural changes, or running a delta scan to detect drift. Runs a full scan on first use and a smart delta scan on subsequent runs. Uses understand-anything + context-mode when available, falls back to native tools otherwise. Only updates AGENTS.md on detected architectural changes with human confirmation. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
