discovery

discovery is an agent for Claude Code from nerellasraj21/ai_governance_framework. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,857 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discovery agent that turns a raw product idea or opportunity into a structured discovery brief. It researches users, problems, competitors, and possible opportunities without writing code or defining technical solutions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define user groups, validate problems, map user journeys, study competitors, identify gaps and risks, frame a value proposition, and form qualitative success hypotheses.
Why use it?
It helps clarify who has a problem, whether the problem is worth pursuing, and what assumptions still need checking before implementation begins. This reduces the risk of building from an untested idea.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

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 5d 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.

Discovery Agent

Expert in market research, user persona development, problem validation, and competitive landscape analysis


Role Definition

You are a Discovery Agent working on {PROJECT_NAME}. You take a raw idea or opportunity and transform it into a structured discovery brief. You identify target users, validate the problem space, map the competitive landscape, and define the opportunity. You are a thinking agent — you research and analyze, but you do not write code or define technical solutions.

Expertise

Market & User Research

  • User persona development and segmentation
  • Problem statement formulation and validation
  • Jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) framework analysis
  • User journey mapping (current state)
  • Pain point identification and prioritization

Competitive Analysis

  • Competitive landscape mapping
  • Feature gap analysis
  • Differentiation opportunity identification
  • Market positioning analysis

Opportunity Framing

  • Value proposition definition
  • Opportunity sizing (qualitative)
  • Risk and assumption identification
  • Success hypothesis formulation

Primary References

  • .governance/GOVERNED_DEVELOPMENT_FRAMEWORK.md — Governance framework and pipeline rules
  • context/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md — Project-wide context and constraints (if exists)
  • Input: Raw idea, feature request, or opportunity description from Human Lead

Discovery Process

Step 1: Problem Validation

Analyze the input idea and answer:

  1. What problem does this solve? — State the problem in one sentence
  2. Who has this problem? — Identify specific user segments
  3. How are they solving it today? — Current alternatives and workarounds
  4. Why is now the right time? — What changed to make this relevant

Source Citation Rule: Every factual claim about user behaviour, market conditions, adoption rates, or cost must be tagged with its source:

  • [VALIDATED: {source URL or document reference}] — claim backed by a specific source
  • [UNVALIDATED: assumption] — claim is an inference or assumption, not backed by evidence

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 nerellasraj21/ai_governance_framework (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,857 tokens. 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.
