CloseOK so y'all know the feature some games have where you can scan a monster in battle and some know-it-all tells you its details?
I'd like to implement that, and (if it's possible) have the option to supplement it with some dialog between characters after the scan.
Is this a thing in Ace? Any good scripts for it? How much pain am I setting myself up for?

Well, without scripts you could use battle events and switches with dialogue to do such a thing. You could even have pictures show up with enemy details. A lot of enemy stats can be accessed via variables, and they can be shown in message windows, too - that's how scan was created in 2k/3 games. It might be worth it to check out some of those old tutorials (which I assume we have at least one or two of on site).
That said, I believe Yanfly has a good script that lets you recheck information after you scan the enemy any time in battle.

Any suggestion how I might search for them? I don't know the terminology too well.

Scan Enemy script for VXace will give ya results
This thingy is probably what they are talking about. Visiting Nessy's github link here should get you the code.
*Edit: The accompanying dialog idea could be done with a function-call when the player cancels out of the scan-window (Scene_Battle.hide_comparison_windows, probably). Like, I'm envisioning a dialog that's a textbox, maybe a face-set. That could all be one instance of Window_Base. If you're looking for something more like the text box (with speaker indicator) in this image, that's two separate instances.
