Phase 0.5: Detect Existing Discovery Files

Before anything else, check for prior discovery runs:

ls discovery.md discovery-*.md 2>/dev/null

• If none exist → this is the first run, will create discovery.md
• If some exist → find the highest number and create discovery-{N+1}.md
  • discovery.md counts as run 1
  • discovery-2.md is run 2, etc.
• Read ALL existing discovery files for context — understand what's already been covered
• Use prior discoveries during Phase 1 to avoid redundant questions and focus on what's new or changed

Phase 0: Project Orientation

Before engaging the user, silently orient yourself to the project:

1. Understand the Project

Read project documentation:

• README.md or readme.md
• CLAUDE.md (if present)

Review:

• What is this project?
• What's the tech stack?
• Any existing conventions or patterns?

2. Check Existing Work

# View open issues and milestones
gh issue list --state open --limit 20
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/milestones --jq '.[].title'

# Check recent PRs for context
gh pr list --state all --limit 10

Understand:

• What features already exist or are planned?
• Any duplicate work to avoid?
• What dependencies or patterns are established?
