discover

discover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joestump/claude-plugin-sdd. It costs 50 tokens per session (4,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase analysis process that finds undocumented architecture decisions and subsystems that may deserve formal specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a project, identify implicit technical decisions, and produce suggestions for Architecture Decision Records or specifications.
Why use it?
It helps teams understand and document design choices that are already embedded in existing code.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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 yesterday.

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

Discover Implicit Architecture

Harness portability. This skill runs on any agent harness that loads Agent Skills — Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Crush. Tool names used below (AskUserQuestion, Task, TeamCreate, SendMessage, TaskCreate, ToolSearch, mcp__*, ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}) denote capabilities, not hard requirements: map each to your harness's equivalent or use the documented fallback per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/harness-compat.md. References to CLAUDE.md mean the project memory file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or CRUSH.md) per harness-compat § "Project Memory File". A citation of the form shared-patterns.md § "Section" names one ## heading in that file — load only that section (see its "How to Read This File" note), never the whole file.

Explore an existing codebase to discover implicit architectural decisions and specification-worthy subsystems. Produces a suggestion report -- does NOT create any files.

Process

  1. Resolve artifact paths: Follow the Artifact Path Resolution pattern from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/shared-patterns.md § "Artifact Path Resolution" to determine the ADR and spec directories. If $ARGUMENTS contains --module <name>, resolve paths relative to that module; otherwise, in a workspace, aggregate across all modules. The resolved ADR directory is {adr-dir} and spec directory is {spec-dir}.

  2. Parse the scope: Extract the optional scope from $ARGUMENTS.

    • A directory path: src/auth/ -- limit analysis to that subtree
    • A domain keyword: auth, api, data -- limit by semantic relevance
    • If $ARGUMENTS is empty, analyze the entire project (or module if --module is set)
  3. Validate the scope (if provided):

    • For directory paths: verify the path exists. If not, report: "Scope not found: {scope}. Provide a valid directory path or omit the scope to analyze the entire project."

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 joestump/claude-plugin-sdd (32 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 4,038 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
