## Intent
Explore data or systems to find patterns, relationships, or anomalies that were not explicitly requested or expected. Discovery is open-ended exploration that surfaces novel insights rather than confirming hypotheses.
**Success criteria:**
- At least one non-obvious finding surfaced
- Significance level assigned to each discovery
- Novelty classified (known, suspected, surprising)
- Methodology documented for reproducibility
**Compatible schemas:**
- `schemas/output_schema.yaml`
## Inputs
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|-----------|----------|------|-------------|
| `search_space` | Yes | string\|object | Where to look (files, data, systems, domains) |
| `discovery_type` | No | string | What kind of discovery: relationship, pattern, anomaly, gap, opportunity |
| `constraints` | No | object | Bounds on exploration (time, scope, depth) |
| `seed_observations` | No | array | Initial observations that may hint at discoveries |
## Procedure
1) **Define search space boundaries**: Establish what is in and out of scope
- File patterns, directories, or data sources
- Conceptual boundaries (domain, time range)
- Depth limits (how many hops of relationships)
2) **Apply discovery heuristics**: Use exploration strategies systematically
- **Pattern mining**: Look for recurring structures, naming conventions, code patterns
- **Relationship mapping**: Find connections between entities (imports, calls, references)
- **Anomaly detection**: Ide
