name: discovery-first description: Use pre-computed discovery files at .claude/state/ for codebase inventory questions. Triggers on component, hook, schema, form, type, inventory, what exists, list all, how many. Saves 90%+ tokens vs source scanning.

Discovery-First Skill

Purpose

ALWAYS read discovery files before scanning source code for inventory questions.

When This Triggers

• "What components exist in contacts?"
• "List all hooks in the codebase"
• "What schemas are used for opportunities?"
• "How many forms exist?"
• "Which types are defined?"
• "What calls useContactData?"

Discovery Files Location

Chunk Discovery Pattern

1. Read manifest.json in the inventory directory first
2. Find the chunk that contains the feature you need
3. Read only that chunk (e.g., contacts.json)

Why This Matters

Required Behavior

1. DO: Read .claude/state/ JSON files first
2. DO: Use manifest.json to find the right chunk
3. DON'T: Grep/Glob src/atomic-crm for inventory questions
4. DON'T: Use Task/Explore agent for basic component/hook listing
5. DON'T: Read individual source files when inventory answers the question

Example: Correct Approach

Question: "What hooks does ContactList use?"

Wrong approach:

CopyGrep("use.*=", "src/atomic-crm/contacts/ContactList.tsx")
Read("src/atomic-crm/contacts/ContactList.tsx")

Correct approach:

CopyRead(".claude/state/component-inventory/contacts.json")
→ Find ContactList entry → Read hooks array

Freshness

Discovery files are auto-regenerated on pre-commit via .husky/pre-commit. If data seems stale, run: just discover
