Connapse: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/discover-work/SKILL.md

discover-work is a skill for Claude Code from Destrayon/Connapse. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research process for finding unrecorded tasks, code gaps, technical debt, and improvement ideas across a project. Technical debt means existing shortcuts or weaknesses that may make future work harder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for backlog discovery, codebase audits, technical-debt reviews, and finding work that has not yet been filed as a task.
Why use it?
It looks beyond the current issue list by examining code markers, GitHub activity, project boards, and architecture documents.

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-work 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.

Discover Work

Perform thorough research across all project surfaces to discover new tasks, gaps, technical debt, and improvement ideas that haven't been captured yet.

Overview

This skill systematically investigates six research dimensions, synthesizes findings, and presents a prioritized list of discovered work items. It goes beyond what /next-task does (which picks from existing issues) — this skill finds new work that nobody has filed yet.

Research Dimensions

Work through each dimension. Use the Agent tool to parallelize independent research. Present findings grouped by dimension, then synthesize into a final prioritized list.

1. Codebase Markers

Search the entire src/ tree for signals of incomplete or problematic code:

Patterns to search (case-insensitive):
  TODO, FIXME, HACK, WORKAROUND, TEMPORARY, DEFER, XXX, BUG, PERF,
  NotImplementedException, throw new NotSupportedException,
  "// removed", "// disabled", "// old", "// legacy"

For each hit, read surrounding context (5-10 lines) to understand whether it's:

  • A genuine gap that needs a ticket
  • A known deferral already tracked in .claude/state/issues.md
  • A false positive (e.g., test code, intentional placeholder)

Skip false positives. Flag genuine gaps.

2. GitHub Issues & Discussions

Use gh CLI to pull:

# Open issues with details
gh issue list --state open --limit 100 --json number,title,labels,milestone,body,assignees,createdAt,updatedAt

# Closed issues (look for reopened patterns, incomplete fixes)
gh issue list --state closed --limit 30 --json number,title,labels,closedAt,body

# Discussions
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/discussions --jq '.[] | {number, title, category: .category.name, body, comments: .comments, created_at}'

# PRs (open and recently merged — look for follow-up items)
gh pr list --state merged --limit 20 --json number,title,body,mergedAt,labels
gh pr list --state open --limit 10 --json number,title,body,labels

Look for:

  • Issues that are stale (no updates in 2+ weeks, no assignee, needs-triage label)
  • Issues missing labels, milestones, or size estimates
  • Closed issues whose fixes were partial (check for "deferred", "follow-up", "TODO" in close comments)
  • Discussions with unresolved questions or design decisions
  • Merged PRs that mention "follow-up" or "deferred" work
  • Open PRs that have been sitting without review

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.
