Scout-AI supports a chat file format that is more reproducible than ad-hoc prompting.

A chat file is compiled before inference and can include:

• normal chat turns (user:, assistant:)
• imports / continuation
• file/directory inclusion
• tool declarations
• tool execution (workflow tasks, KB queries, MCP tools)

Minimal example

user:

Introduce yourself.

Exposing workflow tasks as tools

user:

introduce: Baking
tool: Baking

Bake muffins using the workflow tools.

Then run:

scout-ai llm ask -c baking.chat -e nano

Where to find the full role reference

The canonical reference currently lives in the Scout-AI package docs.

This documentation site keeps a lightweight overview and focuses on how to apply it in Rbbt contexts.
