Which Claude model is recommended for this skill?

This skill is optimized for use with the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model to ensure high-quality reasoning and analysis.

What is the primary purpose of the dev:discover skill?

The primary purpose is to ensure a complete understanding of a feature request (Phase 0) before any development or architectural design begins, preventing misaligned implementations.

Where does the skill store its discovery state?

It manages a .dev-workflow-state.json file within the .claude/data/ directory to keep track of the current discovery and development progress.

Does this skill automatically write code?

No, the skill specifically forbids coding or proposing architecture. It focuses exclusively on the 'What' and 'Why' of a task rather than the 'How'.

How does it help maintain project conventions?

It explores existing files and reads configuration files like CLAUDE.md to identify established patterns and rules within your specific codebase.

生产力与工作流

Facilitates the requirement gathering phase by analyzing user needs and project context before any code is written.

The dev:discover skill implements Phase 0 of the development lifecycle, ensuring total alignment between the user's request and the implementation plan. It systematically analyzes feature requests, explores existing codebase patterns, and identifies technical constraints to produce a structured summary. By forcing a confirmation step before development begins, it reduces rework and ensures Claude understands the business logic and target audience behind every change, maintaining high architectural standards throughout the project.
