discover

discover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bnet47/codexicon. It costs 14 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-planning step that defines the problem, intended user, desired result, limits, and exclusions before technical decisions are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of an unconfigured project to create or review a short project charter.
Why use it?
It helps prevent building toward an unclear problem or choosing technical details before the project's purpose is understood.

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 1mo 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

Discover

Define or amend the durable project contract in the root SPEC.md without turning ordinary discovery into an approval loop.

  1. Inspect the repository identity and any existing root SPEC.md and TASKS.md.
  2. Ask only questions whose answers would materially change the product outcome, safety boundary, or irreversible technical direction. Batch related questions.
  3. Infer reversible details and record them as assumptions.
  4. Create or amend root SPEC.md in place with:
    • an observable outcome;
    • stable requirement IDs such as R-001;
    • interface contracts such as I-001;
    • acceptance conditions such as A-001;
    • explicit anti-goals covering what will not be built, mocked, or supported;
    • assumptions and unresolved blockers.
  5. Keep requirements and interfaces append-only. Record changes under Amendments; never silently rewrite or delete an existing contract item. Do not write only a brief or keep the active contract in transcript context.
  6. Run python scripts/codexicon.py spec-check before continuing. If implementation is authorized and the change spans multiple tasks, create and validate TASKS.md through $write-plan; if a register is absent, $autonomous-build creates the smallest traced register without another approval turn.
  7. Continue directly to $init or the shared $autonomous-build loop when the request authorizes implementation. Use the persisted states TODO, ACTIVE, BLOCKED, and DONE, with queue outcomes READY, RESUME_ACTIVE, BLOCKED, COMPLETE, and INVALID.

Pure explanations and read-only reviews do not create or amend SPEC.md or TASKS.md and do not enter a code-generation workflow.

Build has one writer in the shared checkout: the primary agent by default. An explicitly chosen implementer may write one bounded task sequentially; the primary agent then re-reads the changed paths and owns integration and final verification. Never run concurrent writers.

Pause only for a critical unresolved domain decision, required credentials with no safe local substitute, or an unrecoverable repository/tooling failure. Do not ask for approval of routine wording or technical defaults. Do not commit or push.

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.

discover is a skill published in the GitHub repository bnet47/codexicon (5 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 479 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
