discovery-status

discovery-status is a skill for Claude Code from arozumenko/sdlc-skills. It costs 169 tokens per session (2,673 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A dashboard-style guide for tracking a product-discovery pipeline from hypotheses through review and promotion. It reads project files and reports what is ready, blocked, or needs attention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a work session or when checking promotion gates, blockers, review readiness, or the next step in the discovery process.
Why use it?
It replaces scattered checks across discovery documents with one view of the current state and the next required action.

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 B, and why

discovery-status scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

discovery-status

The pipeline has a skill for every stage, a promotion gate, and an optional tracker. This skill is the map. It answers, in one screen: what state is everything in, what is blocked on whom, and what is the single next action?

Audience calibration: the reader is a senior product professional who is new to this agentic toolchain. Report the state of the pipeline — files, fields, checklist, board — never lecture on product method. They know how to do discovery; they need to know what the pipeline expects next and which skill does it.

Retrieval — read the tree, re-derive the checklist, never fabricate

There is no committed dashboard file and no validator script in this bundle. This skill is fast because it reads a small, well-known set of locations directly and re-derives gate state by applying the promotion checklist (below) as prose — not by calling a script or trusting a cached summary. Read in this order:

  1. docs/discovery/hypotheses/ — every hypothesis file, regardless of status: (incubating | promoted | parked is a frontmatter field, not a folder — read all of them). This is the primary worklist for the scorecard below.
  2. docs/discovery/outcomes.md — the ratified-outcome register. Zero status: active rows is the single most important fact in the whole report if true (see Workspace-level, below).
  3. docs/discovery/problems/, docs/discovery/personas/, docs/discovery/journeys/ — for the unconverged-inventory pass (orphans with no child hypothesis).
  4. docs/discovery/decisions.md — the append-only DEC-NNN log, to confirm a prioritization ranking or a feasibility call was actually recorded, not just claimed.
  5. docs/discovery/evidence/{verifications,research,interviews,learnings}/ — to confirm a hypothesis's "verified" claim has a real evidence file behind it, not just an assertion.
  6. The product owner's role memory (.agents/memory/product-owner/ — read via the memory skill if this project uses a different runtime layout for role memory) — for anything logged about an in-flight dispatch (e.g. "tech-lead dispatched on HYP-004, awaiting feasibility read") that has not yet landed as a file under docs/discovery/. This is a supplement, not a source of truth — a claim that only lives in memory and never lands in decisions.md or an evidence file is still open, say so.
  7. The tracker board (adapter), only if configured. Read .agents/profile.md for a tracker note: none configured -> the Board-sync section is n/a (no tracker configured); github/gitlab -> query the board via gh/glab. If the CLI fails (no auth), say so and continue with the docs/discovery/-only state — a partial dashboard beats none.

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.
