When to Use
Use this skill when the user does not just want an answer once. Use it when they want the agent to keep discovering new things that matter: opportunities, risks, angles, operators, jurisdictions, sources, or practical next paths.
This is especially useful for open loops such as moving countries, tax relocation, market opportunities, tools to test, new business models, or any topic where the value comes from novelty over time rather than from a one-shot summary.
Architecture
Memory lives in ~/discover/. If ~/discover/ does not exist, run setup.md. Use memory-template.md, watchlist-template.md, and heartbeat-state.md as the baseline structures.
Workspace setup should add a minimal discovery router to the workspace AGENTS.md and a quiet recurring check to HEARTBEAT.md, with recurring behavior routed through heartbeat-rules.md.

Requirements
- - No credentials are required by default.
- Ask before enabling heartbeat or any recurring discovery loop.
- Ask before using paid tools, contacting third parties, or taking action outside research and logging.
- Keep external lookup scope narrow and tied to active watchlist topics.
Detection Triggers
Route here when the conversation sounds like any of these:
- - "Keep an eye on this"
- "I want to keep discovering things around this"
- "What else should I know here?"
- "Find me angles I have not thought about"
- "Track this over time and tell me only if there is something new"
- "I may move country / change tax residency / enter a market, keep digging"
- "Do not repeat the same obvious stuff"
Core Rules
1. Lock Why the Topic Matters Before Exploring
- - Every discovery track needs a concrete reason: a decision, move, risk, opportunity, or curiosity that could change what the user does.
- Do not maintain a vague watchlist of random interests with no consequence.
2. Keep a Visible Watchlist
- - Durable discovery topics belong in
~/discover/watchlist.md, not scattered through chat. - Each topic should capture why it matters, what counts as novel, and whether heartbeat is approved.
3. Novelty Beats Volume
- - A discovery only counts if it adds something the user did not already have: a new fact, a new operator, a new source family, a changed constraint, a better comparison, or a practical path forward.
- Rephrased summaries, recycled takes, and generic filler do not belong in the findings log.
4. Rotate Discovery Lenses
- - Do not search the same way every time.
- Move through direct, contrarian, operator, geographic, regulatory, stakeholder, and practical lenses so discovery compounds instead of looping.
5. Heartbeat Needs an Explicit Contract
- - Heartbeat may review only topics marked as approved in
~/discover/watchlist.md. - Every recurring topic needs a novelty bar and a no-change path of
HEARTBEAT_OK.
6. Log Deltas, Not Essays
- - Write only the new part into
~/discover/findings/{topic}.md. - Every logged discovery should state what changed, why it matters now, and one next move or implication.
7. Stay Scoped and Trustworthy
- - Do not silently broaden a topic from "move to another country for tax reasons" into generic life coaching or endless news.
- Ask before any external commitment, irreversible action, or recurring behavior the user did not approve.
Common Traps
| Trap | Why It Fails | Better Move |
|---|
| Keeping a vague "interesting things" list | Discovery loses relevance fast | Tie each topic to a decision, risk, or opportunity |
| Logging every article or tweet |
Noise buries novelty | Apply
novelty-test.md first |
| Searching the same angle every run | Findings stall and become repetitive | Rotate the lens in
discovery-loop.md |
| Sending heartbeat updates just because a run happened | User trust collapses | Return
HEARTBEAT_OK when nothing materially changed |
| Expanding into adjacent topics without consent | Scope drifts away from what the user cares about | Park adjacent ideas and ask before promoting them |
| Treating discovery like raw news monitoring | Freshness without usefulness is still noise | Log only what changes the user's options or understanding |
External Endpoints
| Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose |
|---|
| https://www.google.com | Topic keywords and query variants | Broad source discovery and first-pass expansion |
| https://news.google.com |
Topic keywords and article metadata lookups | Recency checks for changed conditions |
| https://www.reddit.com | Topic keywords and public thread metadata references | Community and operator signal discovery |
| Topic-specific public primary sources | Narrow lookups relevant to the active topic | Validate practical details, constraints, or changed rules |
No other data should be sent externally unless the user explicitly approves broader discovery tooling.
Data Storage
Local state in ~/discover/ includes:
- - activation preferences and discovery boundaries in INLINECODE30
- active topics and heartbeat approvals in INLINECODE31
- recurring run markers in INLINECODE32
- per-topic discovery logs in INLINECODE33
- retired topics and older logs in INLINECODE34
Security & Privacy
Data that leaves your machine:
- - topic names, query variants, and source lookups needed to discover new information
Data that stays local:
- - discovery preferences and activation rules in INLINECODE35
- active interest watchlists and heartbeat state in
~/discover/watchlist.md and INLINECODE37 - dated findings in INLINECODE38
This skill does NOT:
- - create hidden recurring loops
- treat repetition as novelty
- store secrets or credentials in local discovery memory
- contact third parties, buy services, or make commitments automatically
- modify its own INLINECODE39
Trust
This skill relies on public internet sources chosen by the topic and the user's boundaries.
Only install and run it if you trust those public sources and the external services used for lookup.
Scope
This skill ONLY:
- - maintains local discovery state in INLINECODE40
- turns durable curiosity into a visible watchlist with explicit novelty rules
- uses heartbeat only for approved tracks with a quiet no-change path
This skill NEVER:
- - confuse generic summaries with discoveries
- keep monitoring topics that were never approved for recurrence
- broaden scope silently
- turn discovery into external action without approval

何时使用
当用户不仅需要一次性答案时使用此技能。当他们希望智能体持续发现重要新事物时使用:机会、风险、视角、操作者、司法管辖区、来源或可行的下一步路径。
这对于开放性问题特别有用,例如移居国家、税务迁移、市场机会、待测试工具、新商业模式,或任何价值来自随时间推移的新颖性而非一次性总结的主题。
架构
记忆存储在 ~/discover/ 中。如果 ~/discover/ 不存在,则运行 setup.md。使用 memory-template.md、watchlist-template.md 和 heartbeat-state.md 作为基础结构。
工作区设置应在工作区 AGENTS.md 中添加一个最小发现路由器,并在 HEARTBEAT.md 中添加一个安静的定期检查,通过 heartbeat-rules.md 路由定期行为。

要求
- - 默认情况下不需要凭据。
- 在启用心跳或任何定期发现循环前需询问。
- 在使用付费工具、联系第三方或采取研究和记录以外的行动前需询问。
- 保持外部查询范围狭窄,并绑定到活跃的观察列表主题。
检测触发器
当对话听起来像以下任何一种时路由至此:
- - 关注这个
- 我想持续发现与此相关的事物
- 我还应该知道什么?
- 找到我没想到的角度
- 随时间跟踪这个,只在有新内容时告诉我
- 我可能移居国家/改变税务居民身份/进入市场,继续挖掘
- 不要重复同样的明显内容
核心规则
1. 在探索前锁定主题为何重要
- - 每个发现轨道都需要具体原因:决策、行动、风险、机会或可能改变用户行为的好奇心。
- 不要维护一个没有后果的随机兴趣模糊观察列表。
2. 保持可见的观察列表
- - 持久的发现主题应属于 ~/discover/watchlist.md,而非分散在聊天中。
- 每个主题应捕捉其重要性、什么算作新颖,以及心跳是否已批准。
3. 新颖性优于数量
- - 只有添加用户尚未拥有的内容才算发现:新事实、新操作者、新来源家族、变化的约束、更好的比较或可行的前进路径。
- 改述的摘要、回收的观点和通用填充内容不属于发现日志。
4. 轮换发现视角
- - 不要每次都使用相同方式搜索。
- 在直接、逆向、操作者、地理、监管、利益相关者和实用视角之间切换,使发现累积而非循环。
5. 心跳需要明确契约
- - 心跳只能审查在 ~/discover/watchlist.md 中标记为已批准的主题。
- 每个定期主题都需要新颖性标准和无变化路径 HEARTBEAT_OK。
6. 记录增量,而非论文
- - 仅将新部分写入 ~/discover/findings/{topic}.md。
- 每个记录的发现应说明什么发生了变化、为何现在重要,以及一个下一步行动或影响。
7. 保持范围明确且可信
- - 不要将主题从为税务原因移居另一国家悄然扩展为通用生活指导或无休止的新闻。
- 在任何外部承诺、不可逆行动或用户未批准的定期行为前需询问。
常见陷阱
| 陷阱 | 失败原因 | 更好做法 |
|---|
| 维护模糊的有趣事物列表 | 发现很快失去相关性 | 将每个主题与决策、风险或机会绑定 |
| 记录每篇文章或推文 |
噪音掩盖新颖性 | 先应用 novelty-test.md |
| 每次运行搜索相同角度 | 发现停滞并变得重复 | 在 discovery-loop.md 中轮换视角 |
| 仅因运行了就发送心跳更新 | 用户信任崩溃 | 当无实质变化时返回 HEARTBEAT_OK |
| 未经同意扩展到相邻主题 | 范围偏离用户关心的内容 | 暂存相邻想法并在推广前询问 |
| 将发现视为原始新闻监控 | 新鲜但无用仍是噪音 | 仅记录改变用户选项或理解的内容 |
外部端点
| 端点 | 发送数据 | 目的 |
|---|
| https://www.google.com | 主题关键词和查询变体 | 广泛来源发现和首轮扩展 |
| https://news.google.com |
主题关键词和文章元数据查询 | 检查变化条件的时效性 |
| https://www.reddit.com | 主题关键词和公共线程元数据引用 | 社区和操作者信号发现 |
| 主题特定的公共主要来源 | 与活跃主题相关的窄范围查询 | 验证实际细节、约束或变化的规则 |
除非用户明确批准更广泛的发现工具,否则不应向外部发送其他数据。
数据存储
~/discover/ 中的本地状态包括:
- - memory.md 中的激活偏好和发现边界
- watchlist.md 中的活跃主题和心跳批准
- heartbeat-state.md 中的定期运行标记
- findings/ 中的按主题发现日志
- archive/ 中的已退役主题和旧日志
安全与隐私
离开您机器的数据:
保留在本地的数据:
- - ~/discover/memory.md 中的发现偏好和激活规则
- ~/discover/watchlist.md 和 ~/discover/heartbeat-state.md 中的活跃兴趣观察列表和心跳状态
- ~/discover/findings/ 中的带日期发现
此技能不会:
- - 创建隐藏的定期循环
- 将重复视为新颖性
- 在本地发现记忆中存储秘密或凭据
- 自动联系第三方、购买服务或做出承诺
- 修改自身的 SKILL.md
信任
此技能依赖于由主题和用户边界选择的公共互联网来源。
仅当您信任这些公共来源和用于查询的外部服务时才安装和运行它。
范围
此技能仅:
- - 在 ~/discover/ 中维护本地发现状态
- 将持久的好奇心转化为带有明确新颖性规则的可见观察列表
- 仅对已批准的轨道使用心跳,并带有安静的无变化路径
此技能绝不会:
- - 将通用摘要与发现混淆
- 持续监控从未批准定期检查的主题
- 悄然扩展范围
- 未经批准将发现转化为外部行动
