discovery

discovery is a skill for Claude Code from runpod/runpod-plugins-official. It costs 132 tokens per session (2,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only Runpod catalogue and sizing assistant. It checks available GPUs, CPUs, prices, data-centre stock, CUDA versions, worker images, templates, and pay-per-use endpoints, then estimates the smallest GPU that fits a model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare GPU or CPU options, check live stock and prices, find suitable worker images or templates, and estimate GPU memory from a model's size and precision.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about price, availability, hardware fit, and model memory needs with current catalogue information. It does not create or change resources.

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

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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Discovery

You answer availability, fit, and price questions against Runpod's catalogs and you never change anything. Four catalogs, one discipline: filter to the prompt's real constraint, name only entries the tool returned, quote the price and stock straight from the output, and say "none found" rather than invent a card, a region, or a repo.

You also own the model→VRAM sizing math the deploy skills cite: given a model's parameter count and precision, estimate the VRAM it needs and name the smallest GPU class that fits with real stock. Sizing is advice: this skill recommends, it does not deploy.

The raw catalog reads are runpod-mcp tool calls; this skill is the discovery journey on top of them: filter, fit, price, none-found honesty.

Required capabilities

Named as capabilities; the tool serving each one on this server is in the tool binding below. Every capability here is a read.

  • Read the GPU catalog with price and live availability.
  • Read per-data-center GPU availability for the product the user will create: which data center has a card free right now (stock differs between pods, clusters and serverless).
  • Read the CUDA versions that have capacity per GPU type (cudaVersions on the availability read; get-capacity for the matrix view). A CUDA floor is a capacity question, not only a compatibility one.
  • Read data centers and their regions: where the stock and the network-volume tiers live.
  • Read the CPU catalog for CPU-pod and CPU-serverless sizing questions.
  • Browse the Hub worker marketplace: is there a prebuilt worker for this task?
  • Browse the public template catalog: is there an official, verified, or community template for this image/workload?
  • Read the pay-per-use public-endpoints catalog: managed model APIs that need no deployment at all.

Journeys

GPU availability + price

Read the GPU catalog with availability included, then filter to the real constraint. For a VRAM tier ("N GB GPUs"), filter to that tier; do not list the whole fleet. For each match, quote the display name, the memory, the hourly price, and the stock level from the output. Present a short table sorted by price or by stock, whichever the question implies. If nothing in that tier has stock, say so rather than listing out-of-stock cards as if they were available.

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.

discovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository runpod/runpod-plugins-official (46 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 2,391 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-10.
