Discover

What this is

Discover builds a domain-level world model — a structured map of how a topic connects across every product and system surface. It answers: "What does this topic touch, how do those things connect, and what exists today?"

Two complementary maps, always produced together:

  • Product surface-area map — customer-facing surfaces this topic touches (UIs, APIs, SDKs, CLIs, docs, config, billing, telemetry)
  • Internal surface-area map — internal subsystems this topic touches (build, CI/CD, database, auth, runtime, observability, deployment)

Plus: connection graph between surfaces, current state of key surfaces (code-verified), constraints discovered, and explicit gaps.

Discover operates above individual code files: surfaces, not functions; dependency chains, not import graphs; domain impact, not line-level patterns. It drills into code when needed to verify surface behavior, but organizes findings by surface, not by file.

What this is NOT

  • Not /inspect/inspect understands code patterns and traces within a specific area (file-level grain). Use /inspect for debugging, troubleshooting, or "what conventions should I follow here?" /discover maps how a topic connects across the entire system (surface-level grain).
  • Not /spec — does not make design decisions, evaluate options, or produce requirements. Returns a factual world model that /spec consumes.
