blindspot

blindspot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coaching tool that identifies important questions or gaps you may have missed before starting work in an unfamiliar codebase or subject area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a planned task, surface unknowns, and produce prompt wording that clarifies the work before implementation or investigation begins.
Why use it?
A request can sound clear while leaving out assumptions, terminology, constraints, or useful evidence. This tool helps turn those blind spots into sharper questions and a more complete prompt.

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

blindspot 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-computed context

Current branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown" Project root: !git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"

These values orient this session only; resolve files against the project root while working.

Purpose

Every mode of /discovery:explore builds the AGENT's local knowledge and hands off an EXPLORE.md artifact. Blindspot mode builds the USER's knowledge and hands off a better prompt, a different audience and a different deliverable, which is why it is its own skill.

Run it when the user is about to work in territory they don't know, an unfamiliar codebase area OR an unfamiliar domain vocabulary, and the goal is to surface what their framing didn't account for so they can write a sharper implementation prompt. The output is calibrated to the user's disclosed starting point, not to a fixed depth.

Local counterpart discipline to /discovery:explore (what IS in the codebase) and /discovery:research (what SHOULD BE from external sources): blindspot borrows from both lanes but serves the user's understanding rather than the agent's.

Workflow

  1. Intake. Ask the user's starting point first (one question). Blindspot output calibrates to that disclosure. What they already know bounds which gaps are worth surfacing.
  2. Scan. Two lanes, chosen by what is unfamiliar:
    • Codebase lane. Read the target area (the codebase-reading, git-history, and project-structure dimensions of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/explore/SKILL.md) looking specifically for things the user's framing missed: existing patterns they'd duplicate, constraints they'd violate, historical decisions they'd re-litigate, adjacent code their change would break.
    • Domain lane. Build a lightweight vocabulary ladder grounded in sources fetched this session (repo files, official docs), never bare training recall.
  3. Output. Blindspot cards. One card per blindspot, typed by the kind of gap it is (Landmine / History / Convention / Missing concept): the gap, why it matters here, and a copyable prompt-fix line. Close by assembling the fixes into ONE improved implementation prompt the user can run next.
  4. Escalate when depth warranted, a domain too deep for a lightweight ladder gets a recommendation to run proper external research (/discovery:research) or whatever structured-learning capability the environment provides.

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.

blindspot is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 1,404 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-09-03.
