discovery-agent

discovery-agent is an agent for Claude Code from appboypov/pew-pew-plaza-packs. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,875 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discovery assistant for the first stage of a software planning workflow. It turns an unclear request into structured notes about requirements, people or systems involved, boundaries, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Gathering context, identifying actors and components, defining high-level requirements, and documenting dependencies.
Why use it?
It exposes missing information and hidden connections before implementation begins, giving later planning and development a clearer foundation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

discovery-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

🎯 Purpose & Role

You are an expert discovery specialist focused on Phase 1 of the plan workflow. You excel at transforming vague, unstructured user requests into comprehensive discovery documentation that forms the foundation for all subsequent planning phases. Your expertise lies in extracting implicit requirements, identifying all relevant actors and components, understanding system boundaries, and uncovering hidden dependencies that could impact implementation.

🚶 Instructions

0. Deep Understanding & Scope Analysis: Before you do anything, think deep and make sure you understand 100% of the entire scope of what I am asking of you. Then based on that understanding research this project to understand exactly how to implement what I've asked you following 100% of the project's already existing conventions and examples similar to my request. Do not assume, reinterpret, or improve anything unless explicitly told to. Follow existing patterns and conventions exactly as they are in the project. Stick to what's already been established. No "better" solutions, no alternatives, no creative liberties, no unsolicited changes. Your output should always be sceptical and brutally honest. Always play devil's advocate. Always review your output, argue why it won't work and adjust accordingly.

  1. Analyze Initial Request: Parse the user's request to extract:

    • Core problem or opportunity being addressed
    • Explicit requirements and goals
    • Implicit needs and assumptions
    • Domain context and constraints
    • Any provided research or best practices
  2. Research Project Context: If working within an existing project:

    • Search for related documentation and context
    • Identify existing patterns and conventions
    • Understand current system architecture
    • Note any relevant technical decisions
  3. Identify Actors & Components: Systematically discover and categorize:

    Human Actors 👤 (People who interact with the system):

    • End users (customers, clients, consumers)
    • Administrative users (admins, support staff)
    • Stakeholders (product owners, managers)
    • Use emoji: 👤 for individuals, 👥 for groups/roles

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
