trace-intent
92 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Reconstruct WHY something was built the way it was from evidence outside the code, and report what could not be found. Use when: 'why was this built this way', 'why did we pick X over Y', 'what were they thinking', 'design rationale', 'what problem was this solving', 'why does this still exist', 'archaeology on this decision'. Skip what the code does ('/discovery:explore'); whether a convention should still hold ('/discipline:reason-dont-recite'); a current external fact ('/discovery:research').
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'trace-intent' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'trace-intent' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named trace-intent already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/discovery/skills/trace-intent' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/discovery/skills/trace-intent' ~/.agents/skills/'trace-intent' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'trace-intent' ~/.claude/skills/'trace-intent' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
