discover

discover is a command for coding agents from evo-hq/evo. It costs 12 tokens per session (97 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that discovers what to optimize in a repository and initializes an evo workspace. It explores the codebase, proposes optimization dimensions, builds a benchmark in a baseline worktree, and runs the first experiment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to begin an evo optimization project, optionally focusing discovery on a target or topic supplied as command arguments.
Why use it?
It provides a starting point when the optimization target or evaluation setup is not yet defined. The benchmark gives later experiments a consistent way to compare results.

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

discover 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

Load and follow the evo discover skill (named discover under the evo plugin in your skill registry — use your skill loader, not a filesystem path). It explores the repository, proposes optimization dimensions, builds the benchmark inside a baseline worktree, and runs the first experiment.

If arguments are provided below, treat them as the optimization target or focus for discovery.

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.
