ai-blueprint: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/discovery/SKILL.md

discovery is a skill for Codex from aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided planning conversation for exploring a software project before writing detailed project and build plans. It is optional and can take multiple turns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want a discovery process that eventually drafts blueprint/project-plan.md and blueprint/build-plan.md after you approve the drafts.
Why use it?
It helps clarify goals, requirements, and trade-offs when the project needs more thought before implementation.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on ai-blueprint itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-blueprint configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 71
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

discovery - develop the plans through a deep conversation

Context reuse: Reuse any required file already loaded in project instructions or the current session. Read it again only if absent, changed, or exact current bytes or line references are needed.

First action: Before project inspection, preflight, or any other tool call, publish running to blueprint/.state/run.json when blueprint/.state/ exists. From the project root, run the first helper that exists, node .agents/skills/blueprint-doctor/scripts/run-state.mjs or node .claude/skills/blueprint-doctor/scripts/run-state.mjs, with start --command <skill> --summary "<truthful summary>" --boundary <read-only|reviewed|local-only>. Use update at milestones, with --status blocked --resume <command> for a blocker, and finish --status ready|completed at the end; --help lists every option and blueprint/workflow.md has the full activity contract. A missing or failing helper is a warning, not a blocker.

Where this can sit in the workflow:

/onboard  ->  write the plans directly  ->  /overview
          \
           ->  [discovery]  ->  review and approve plan drafts  ->  /overview

/discovery is an optional planning partner, not a required workflow gate and not a quick questionnaire. It can span as many turns as the project needs. Its job is to help the user think through the product, preserve the depth and nuance of that conversation, and draft the two user-owned planning files only when the user asks for drafts.

Running /onboard never starts this skill. Empty plans never require it. A user who writes detailed plans manually, has another AI conversation, or arrives with finished plans continues directly to /overview exactly as before.

For a focused idea or technical tradeoff without drafting plans, use /explore. Discovery develops the broader product plans.

Step 1 - establish the starting point

Read only the planning and project facts needed for the conversation:

Changes

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.
