+### Scout — HuggingFace Model Researcher
+
+Scout is an AI-powered model researcher that searches HuggingFace for GGUF models that fit your hardware. It auto-detects your GPU, VRAM, and RAM, then launches an interactive session where the agent can search, inspect, and recommend models.
+
+> **Windows only for now.** Hardware auto-detection uses `nvidia-smi` and `wmic` which are Windows-native. Linux/macOS support is partially implemented (nvidia-smi works on Linux, macOS uses system_profiler) but hasn't been tested yet.
+
+```bash
+# First run — auto-detects hardware, saves to ~/.clawx/hardware.json
+clawx scout
+
+# Re-prompt hardware specs manually (with auto-detected defaults)
+clawx scout --setup-hardware
+
+# Use a specific model for the scout agent
+clawx scout -m deepseek-chat -p deepseek
+```
+
+On first run, Scout detects your system and auto-sends a starter message with your hardware specs. The agent immediately starts researching:
+

+  Mode: Scout (HuggingFace Model Researcher)
+
+> My hardware: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 12GB VRAM, 64GB RAM,
+  Windows 10. What models would you recommend for local coding
+  assistance with tool calling support?
+```
+
+The agent uses three HuggingFace tools to research models:
+
+- **hf_search** — searches HuggingFace by query, filters (gguf, text-generation), and sort order
+- **hf_model_info** — gets detailed metadata including GGUF file sizes for VRAM estimation
+- **hf_readme** — reads model cards for benchmarks, prompt formats, and quant details
+
+Here's an excerpt from a real session. The agent searched for coding models, checked file sizes, read model cards, then delivered recommendations tailored to the user's 12GB VRAM:
+
+```
+ hf_search { "search": "coder gguf", "filter": "gguf,text-generation", "sort": "downloads", "limit": 15 }
+
+ Found 15 models for "coder gguf" (sorted by downloads):
+ - unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF           481,295 downloads
+ - ggml-org/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct   176,570 downloads
+ - Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-GGUF    166,480 downloads
+ - bartowski/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-GGUF 104,034 downloads
+ ...
+
+ hf_model_info { "model_id": "unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF" }
+ hf_readme { "model_id": "unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF" }
+
+ Recommended Models for Coding + Tool Calling:
+
+ 1. Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B total, 3B activated) — BEST OVERALL
+    VRAM: ~4-8GB depending on quant | 256K context | Tool calling supported
+    Why: Specifically designed for coding agents, Feb 19 update improved tool-calling
+
+ 2. Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct — BALANCED PERFORMANCE
+    VRAM: Q5_K_M ~5GB, Q8_0 ~7.5GB | 104K+ downloads
+    Why: Proven, reliable, good quality/size balance
+
+ 3. LFM2.5-1.2B-Nova-Function-Calling — SPECIALIZED TOOL CALLING
+    VRAM: ~0.7-1.2GB | 97% syntax reliability for JSON
+    Why: Tiny but specifically fine-tuned for function calling
+
+ Would you like me to check specific file sizes or help create
+ an Ollama Modelfile for your chosen model?
+```
+
+Scout uses the same model/provider flags as the main TUI. You can run it with a local model (`-m qwen2.5-coder:7b-instruct -p ollama`) or a cloud API (`-p deepseek`). The text tool parser works in scout mode too, so models that output tool calls as text (like Qwen) will still work.
