knowledge-discovery

knowledge-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from thapaliyabikendra/ai-artifacts. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,854 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A discovery guide that chooses how much project knowledge to gather before a coding task, from no lookup for simple edits to a full review for larger features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before tasks such as writing tests, designing an API, debugging an error, or implementing a complete create-read-update-delete workflow.
Why use it?
It helps avoid both unnecessary investigation and missing important project context. The guide matches the amount of discovery to the complexity of the task.

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

knowledge-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 4d 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.

Knowledge Discovery

Adaptive discovery skill with tiered efficiency for different task complexities.

Discovery Tiers

Tier When to Use Files Read Time Cost
SKIP Simple/obvious tasks, single file edits 0 ~0s
QUICK Single-skill tasks, known patterns Quick ref only ~2s
STANDARD Multi-skill tasks, unfamiliar patterns INDEX + GRAPH ~10s
DEEP Full feature implementation, CRUD flows All 4 steps ~15-20s

Tier Selection Guide

START: What's the task?
│
├─ "Fix typo" / "Add comment" / "Simple edit"
│   └─ SKIP (no discovery needed)
│
├─ "Write tests" / "Add validation" / "Single pattern"
│   └─ QUICK (use inline reference below)
│
├─ "Design API" / "Debug error" / "Multi-step task"
│   └─ STANDARD (read SKILL-INDEX + CONTEXT-GRAPH)
│
└─ "Implement CRUD" / "Add feature" / "Full workflow"
    └─ DEEP (full 4-step protocol)

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.
