SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 13 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.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00103 | $0.06379 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.03189 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01276 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00638 |
Grade A, and why
~aod-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 4d 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.

AOD Discover Skill
Purpose
Unified discovery skill for the AOD Lifecycle's Discover stage. Handles idea capture, ICE scoring, evidence gathering, and PM validation with 3 entry points:
/aod.discover— Full flow: capture idea + ICE score + evidence + PM validation + user story/aod.discover --seed— Seed mode: fast-track pre-vetted ideas (auto ICE, skip prompts, skip PM)/aod.idea— Capture only: capture idea + ICE score + evidence (no PM validation)/aod.validate— Validate only: submit existing idea for PM review + user story generation
Entry Point Detection
Determine the entry point from the invoking command:
- If invoked via
/aod.discover --seed→ run Seed Mode (Steps 1, 2, 5a, 5b, 8-seed) - If invoked via
/aod.discover→ run Full Flow (Steps 1-8) - If invoked via
/aod.idea→ run Capture Only (Steps 1-5) - If invoked via
/aod.validate→ run Validate Only (Steps 6-8)
--seed Flag Detection
Check if arguments contain --seed flag. If present:
- Remove
--seedfrom the idea description text - Set entry point to Seed Mode
- Seed mode is designed for pre-vetted ideas (e.g., from consumer guides) that don't need scoring or validation
Critical Constraints
MUST use .aod/scripts/bash/create-issue.sh for ALL GitHub Issue creation. NEVER call gh issue create directly.
Why: Direct gh issue create bypasses the board sync pipeline, causing issues to silently disappear from the project board. The create-issue.sh script delegates to aod_gh_create_issue() which includes automatic board placement via aod_gh_add_to_board(). See KB Entry #20 for root cause analysis.
Prohibited pattern (DO NOT use):
# WRONG — bypasses board sync
gh issue create --title "..." --label "stage:discover" --body "..."
Required pattern:
# CORRECT — includes board sync automatically
bash .aod/scripts/bash/create-issue.sh --title "Feature title" --body "Markdown body" --stage discover
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.

~aod-discover is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidmatousek/tachi (90 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 6,379 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
