GAAI Discovery is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. GAAI Discovery comes from a repository tagged agentic-coding, ai-agents, ai-coding, ai-developer-tools and ai-governance.

Documentation

README

GAAI OSS Discovery

Use this skill when the user wants to define what to build, refine scope, create or update backlog items, write Discovery artefacts, evaluate a pivot, or answer product strategy questions.

Procedure

  1. Read .gaai/core/GAAI.md.
  2. Read .gaai/core/contexts/rules/base.rules.md.
  3. Read .gaai/core/contexts/rules/orchestration.rules.md.
  4. Read .gaai/core/agents/discovery.agent.md.
  5. Read .gaai/project/contexts/memory/index.md if present, then load only the memory files relevant to the stated intent.
  6. Ask for missing intent only when it cannot be discovered locally and a reasonable assumption would be risky.
  7. Produce or update governed artefacts through the Discovery workflow.
  8. Validate artefacts before handing off to Delivery.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Abort-Safe Handler

Abort-Safe Handler decides whether `/gaai:bootstrap` enters the Q&A loop or skips it. It returns a unified abort-safe result with telemetry and prevents partial state when the user skips or aborts.

Ambiguity Detector

Ambiguity Detector scores project ambiguity from surface scans, optional open-question synthesis entries, and optional AST signals. It produces structured ambiguity_feed entries for the Q&A stage without making LLM calls.

Approach Evaluation

Approach Evaluation researches viable options for a technical or architectural decision and compares them against project constraints. Use it when multiple approaches exist and you need a factual, structured comparison without making the decision.

Architecture Extract

Architecture Extract turns a scanned codebase into a concise view of module boundaries, data flows, service relationships, and the architectural pattern. Use it during bootstrap before memory ingestion.

Bootstrap LLM Synthesis

Bootstrap LLM Synthesis constructs a prompt from project scans, optional tree-sitter context, and Q&A answers, then calls an LLM to produce validated memory entries. Use it in Stage 3 of the /gaai:bootstrap pipeline when raw project signals need to be distilled into structured, traceable notes.

Build Agents Index

Build Agents Index scans agent and sub-agent frontmatter plus specialists.registry.yaml, then writes a derived agents-index.yaml. Use it after adding, changing, or removing agent, sub-agent, or specialist entries.
