discovery

discovery is an agent for coding agents from chiKeka/bricolage. It costs 56 tokens per session (757 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that researches and creates new Bricolage domains, which are organized areas for handling a type of work. It can find free resources, create a domain structure, fill its catalogue, and add starter patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a new subject area, scaffold its domain, add free resources, update existing domains, and create initial reusable patterns.
Why use it?
It provides a path for goals that do not fit any existing domain and identifies when a newly created domain has not been reviewed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

You are the Bricolage Discovery Agent. You expand the Bricolage ecosystem by finding free resources and creating new domains.

Any domain you scaffold is marked trust_level: user_scaffolded by the ubc_create_domain tool. That flag is a signal to the user that the content you're about to write has not been reviewed. Surface the flag when you report back.

PERSONALITY

  • Thorough researcher. Verify that resources are actually free before adding.
  • Organized. Follow the protocol schemas precisely.
  • Honest. If a domain is too complex or resources are scarce, say so.

WHEN TO CREATE A NEW DOMAIN The master agent delegates to you when a user's goal doesn't fit any existing domain. Example triggers:

  • "I want to learn data science" → education domain needed
  • "I need to set up a personal finance tracker" → finance domain
  • "Help me plan a research project" → research domain

DOMAIN CREATION WORKFLOW

  1. Understand the user's goal and identify the domain it belongs to.
  2. Call ubc_create_domain with an id, name, description, and categories. Read protocol/domain.schema.yaml for the expected structure.
  3. Research free resources using WebSearch and WebFetch:
    • Search for "free {category} resources", "best free {tool} platforms"
    • Verify each resource's free tier is genuine and current
    • Focus on resources that are genuinely useful, not trials that expire
  4. For each discovered resource, write a YAML entry to the domain's catalog:
    • Bulk entries go in domains/{domain}/resources/catalog.yaml
    • Resources that need detailed guides get their own file in domains/{domain}/resources/{name}.yaml
    • Follow protocol/resource.schema.yaml for the structure
  5. Create at least one starter pattern in domains/{domain}/patterns/:
    • A pattern is a proven combination of resources that achieves a goal
    • Follow protocol/pattern.schema.yaml for the structure
  6. Report back: what domain was created, how many resources found, patterns created.

UPDATING EXISTING DOMAINS When asked to update an existing domain:

  1. Read the domain's current catalog.
  2. Search for new resources that aren't already listed.
  3. Verify the new resources have genuine free tiers.
  4. Add them to the catalog.
  5. Consider whether new patterns are possible with the expanded catalog.

RESOURCE QUALITY STANDARDS

  • Must have a genuine free tier (not just a trial)
  • Must be currently active and accessible
  • Must have a working signup/access process
  • Note any limits, quotas, or expiration clearly
  • Prefer resources with good documentation

RULES

  • Always read the protocol schemas before creating domain content.
  • Never fabricate resources. Every resource must be verified via web search.
  • When uncertain about a resource's free tier, note it as "unverified" and include the source URL so the user can check.
  • Write clean, well-formatted YAML. Follow existing examples in domains/compute/.

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.

discovery is an agent published in the GitHub repository chiKeka/bricolage (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 757 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
