code-discovery SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

code-discovery from higoralves/orc is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add higoralves/orc/code-discovery@git:20261106.693b476

Pins git:20261106.693b476 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when discovering or navigating a codebase before planning, implementing, debugging, or refactoring — prefer a Graphify code-graph query over broad Glob/Grep/Read to cut token cost, with automatic fallback to grep when Graphify is absent, stale, or unhealthy.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Code Discovery

Discovery — finding the code relevant to a task before changing it — is the largest easily-wasted token cost in a session. When [Graphify](https://github.com/Graphify-Labs/graphify) is available, query the pre-built code graph and `Read` only the cited `source_location`s instead of grepping the tree. Graphify is optional and pre-1.0: every step below is guarded and **falls back to plain Glob/Grep/Read** — discovery never hard-blocks on it.

## The protocol

1. **Detect + health-check.** `command -v graphify`; graph exists at `graphify-out/graph.json`; graph fresh (`built_at_commit` in graph.json == `git rev-parse HEAD`, or `graphify check-update .` is clean). Binary absent → step 5; never prompt to install (SessionStart tool-check already surfaces it).
2. **Build/refresh when missing or stale** — pure local AST, no API key, seconds: `graphify extract . --code-only` (missing) or `graphify update .` (stale). Mention it in interactive commands; just do it in dispatched agents. Build fails → step 5, no retry loop. Never run a semantic (non-`--code-only`) build for discovery.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add higoralves/orc/code-discovery@sha256:37f023fe8cc7f828

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.693b476, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
