context-discovery

context-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from jellydn/my-ai-tools. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-finding guide for understanding an unfamiliar codebase through connected developer tools. It helps locate relevant files, patterns, history, and earlier decisions before coding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover files, inspect existing implementation patterns, review code history, and find related technical discussions.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork and duplicated work when a change spans several files or depends on knowledge hidden elsewhere in the project.

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

context-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 10d 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.

Context Discovery

When to Use

Use this skill before and during implementation when:

  • Starting work on an unfamiliar module or feature
  • The task involves multiple files or systems
  • You need to understand existing patterns before coding
  • Previous decisions or discussions may be relevant
  • You want to avoid duplicating existing functionality

What It Does

Leverages available MCP tools to proactively discover context about the codebase, existing patterns, decisions, and related work. Instead of relying solely on grep/read cycles, it uses purpose-built discovery tools.

Discovery Workflow

Step 1: File Discovery

Find the relevant files using fff:

fff auth                        # Find auth-related files
fff "*order*"                   # Find order-related files by pattern
fff config                      # Find config files

Scan the results to identify the module structure. fff returns frecency-ranked results — the files you access most appear first.

Step 2: Pattern Discovery via sem

Once you know the relevant files, use sem to understand the code's history and structure:

sem blame path/to/file.ts        # See who changed each line and when
sem diff main..HEAD -- path/     # See what changed in this area
sem summary path/to/             # Get a summary of the module

sem provides entity-level diffs (function-level, not just file-level), making it easier to understand what actually changed.

Step 3: Historical Context via ctx

Search past agent sessions for relevant context:

ctx search "auth implementation patterns"   # Past work on auth
ctx search "this module" path/to/module/    # Past discussions about this area
ctx search "decision" "why did we" path/    # Past decision-making

ctx indexes agent sessions, so you can find past discussions, decisions, and patterns the agent has already encountered.

Step 4: Project Knowledge via qmd

Query durable project knowledge:

qmd query "What architecture decisions exist for X?"
qmd search "authentication patterns"
qmd get ADR-001        # Get a specific ADR

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.

context-discovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository jellydn/my-ai-tools (120 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,071 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
