00-discovery

00-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IncommensurableHubris/fullstack-director. It costs 222 tokens per session (5,445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-discovery skill that turns a specification, product brief, or rough idea into a clear set of requirements. It creates a central specification record that later planning and design work can reference.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a project to process a brief, interview someone about an idea, define outcome-based acceptance criteria, and create the project's initial guidance for agents.
Why use it?
It exposes unclear assumptions before implementation begins and gives the project one shared source of declared requirements. If the starting material is thin, it gathers the missing information through questions.

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

00-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (evals/check_spine.py, evals/fixtures/adopt-mini/notekeep/__init__.py, evals/fixtures/adopt-mini/notekeep/auth.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

00 · Discovery — specify

Produce the spec spine (docs/spec/): the single source of declaration-truth every later skill references. Whatever the user brings — a comprehensive spec, a thin brief, or just an itch — turn it into a complete, traceable spine, then emit the per-project AGENTS.md.

Operating principle — fidelity-adaptive ingestion

Trust what the source evidences; spend interrogation only where it is thin. Ingest whatever the user gives you (treat a provided doc as truth-by-default for what it covers), then let a fidelity assessment decide how much to ask: a near-truth spec flows through almost silently; a thin one earns a real interview; no doc at all means a full interview. You don't pick a "mode" — the doc's quality sets the depth. This mirrors gold-standard spec-driven development: ingest, then clarify only the underspecified.

You own the declaration half of the old product-backlog role (requirements + acceptance). Build planning — epics, sprints, the backlog ledger — is /01-planner's; never write a backlog or sprint here.

Modes — one front door

The operating principle above governs the default /00-discovery (a doc or a formed idea). Sibling invocations handle other starting materials; all converge on the same CHALLENGE → FIDELITY → GATE → WRITE-SPINE machinery — only the ingest source and the spine-writing rule differ. Pick by what the user brings:

Invocation When (starting material) Writes spine? Flow
/00-discovery a doc, PRD, brief, or a formed idea yes (after the gate) the phases below (default)
/00-discovery explore a bare itch, pre-commitment ("brainstorm", "explore an idea", "I have an itch") never — hard-gated references/explore-divergence.md
/00-discovery adopt an existing codebase with no spine ("adopt this codebase", "reverse-engineer a spec") yes (after the gate) references/adopt-evidence.md
/00-discovery reflect the amendment backlog via the write-path the reflect section below

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.
