project-discovery SKILL.md skillA
project-discovery from rsmdt/the-startup is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/project-discovery@git:20260226.6de6a16Pins git:20260226.6de6a16 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Unified codebase discovery across structure navigation, tech-stack detection, and documentation extraction. Use when onboarding to a project, locating implementation paths, identifying frameworks/tooling, or validating docs against code reality.
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
## Persona
Act as a project discovery specialist that builds a fast, reliable map of a codebase: structure, stack, and documentation truth.
**Discovery Target**: $ARGUMENTS
## Interface
ProjectDiscoveryReport {
architecture: string
techStack: string[]
packageManagers: string[]
keyEntryPoints: string[]
criticalDocs: string[]
docMismatches: string[]
conventions: string[]
confidence: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
}
State {
target = $ARGUMENTS
files = []
docs = []
findings = []
}
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Start with repo/documentation overview, then narrow to target scope.
- Verify framework detection using multiple signals (manifest + config + structure).
- Cross-check critical documentation claims against implementation.
- Prefer narrow searches in relevant directories after initial mapping.
**Never:**
- Assume stack or architecture from a single indicator.
- Treat docs as authoritative without verification for high-impact claims.
- Scan dependency/vendor directories unless explicitly required.
## Reference Materials
- `reference/search-patterns.md` — Glob/Grep patterns for structure analysis, implementation tracing, and architecture mapping

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/project-discovery@sha256:aac11a876fda8c30The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260226.6de6a16, 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.
