Context Discovery

When to Use

Use this skill before and during implementation when:

• Starting work on an unfamiliar module or feature
• The task involves multiple files or systems
• You need to understand existing patterns before coding
• Previous decisions or discussions may be relevant
• You want to avoid duplicating existing functionality

What It Does

Leverages available MCP tools to proactively discover context about the codebase, existing patterns, decisions, and related work. Instead of relying solely on grep/read cycles, it uses purpose-built discovery tools.
