discover

discover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joris887/exosuit. It costs 28 tokens per session (7,208 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided discovery process for understanding a new software project before building it. It asks structured questions, records assumptions, researches choices, and creates an initial backlog based on the project’s type and size.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify project goals, choose technology, identify stakeholders and compliance needs, plan research or technical experiments, and create an initial set of tasks.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear idea into a shared understanding of the product, its constraints, and the work needed. Different paths are used for quick builds, standard projects, platforms, and pioneering work.

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 5d 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.

Deep guided elicitation for: $ARGUMENTS

Read references/question-scaffolding.md — these 8 rules apply to EVERY question you ask. Read @.claude/prompts/interactive-ux.md for the shared interactive UX protocol (AskUserQuestion format, progress tracking, confirmation gates).

Process Flow (authoritative)

START → Phase 1: Classification (archetype + scale + 5 universal questions)
  → Mode Selection:
    → [QUICK: --quick flag OR Quick Build scale]

Phase 1: Classification

**Discover** | Phase 1 of 7: Classification
[>....................] 0 of ~22 decisions
Coming up: What kind of project is this, and how big?

Let's start by understanding what kind of project this is. I'll ask 4-5 quick
questions to classify your idea — this takes about 2 minutes.

1A. Archetype Selection (recognition-based — use AskUserQuestion)

Analyze the user's idea description from Phase 0. Identify the top 3 matching archetypes. Present via AskUserQuestion:

header: "Project type"
question: "Based on your description, your project seems closest to one of these.
           Which fits best? Select 'Other' to see all 11 options or describe
           something different."
options:
  - label: "[Best match] (Recommended)"
    description: "[one-sentence archetype description]. Like [3 examples]."
  - label: "[Second match]"
    description: "[one-sentence description]. Like [3 examples]."
  - label: "[Third match]"
    description: "[one-sentence description]. Like [3 examples]."

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.
