Discovery Report Generator

About

The Discovery Report Generator is a specialized skill designed to bridge the gap between codebase exploration and implementation planning. It provides a rigorous framework for Claude to document existing code patterns, map complex dependency relationships, and identify technical risks with severity ratings. By utilizing a structured decision tree to determine if a task has a single clear path or requires multiple architectural options, it ensures that both human developers and downstream AI agents have a comprehensive, risk-aware understanding of the technical landscape before a single line of code is written.

Key Features

• Tri-level dependency tracking covering direct, reverse, and external links
• Standardized clarification checklist for tracking unresolved technical questions
• Risk assessment matrix with severity levels and mitigation strategies
• 1 GitHub stars
• Structured pattern identification with file-specific relevance mapping
• Approach assessment logic for single vs. multiple implementation paths

Use Cases

• Technical auditing of existing patterns to ensure architectural consistency
• Pre-implementation analysis for complex feature requests in large repositories
• Risk assessment and dependency mapping before major refactoring tasks
