detectlisted

## Intent Scan data sources to determine whether a specified pattern, entity, or condition is present. Detection is binary (present/absent) with associated signal strength. **Success criteria:** - Clear boolean determination of presence/absence - At least one evidence anchor for positive detections - False positive risk assessment provided - Confidence score justified by evidence quality **Compatible schemas:** - `schemas/output_schema.yaml` ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Type | Description | |-----------|----------|------|-------------| | `target` | Yes | string\|object | The data source to scan (file path, URL, or structured data) | | `pattern` | Yes | string\|regex | The pattern, entity type, or condition to detect | | `threshold` | No | object | Detection sensitivity settings (e.g., min_matches, confidence_floor) | | `scope` | No | string | Limit search to specific regions (e.g., "functions", "imports", "comments") | ## Procedure 1) **Define detection criteria**: Clarify exactly what constitutes a positive detection - Convert vague patterns to concrete search terms or regex - Establish minimum evidence threshold for positive detection 2) **Scan target systematically**: Search the target data for matching signals - Use Grep for text patterns with appropriate flags (-i for case-insensitive, etc.) - Use Read for structural inspection when pattern requires context - Record location (file:line) for each potential match 3) **Evaluate signal strength*
