What it does

Blind Rediscovery is an agent skill from mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad. Operational checklist + helper for blind-rediscovery fan-out work. Splits per-target dossiers into blind/ (voice-readable, no prior-finding refs) and curated/ (operator-only, prior findings + comparisons). Use when running Stage 3 hypothesis exploration on a target with prior chrono work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Multi-model AI orchestration where behaviour is Markdown, not code. One coordinator routes scoped task packets to 71 role-based specialists across 5 model families (Codex /… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running Stage 3 hypothesis exploration on a target with prior chrono work

Example prompts

  • “/blind-rediscovery”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Flag in the synthesis dossier — that voice's contaminated targets cannot count as independent rediscovery
  2. The voice's INDEPENDENT targets (those not in priors) still count
  3. Score system-validation against the clean independent targets only
  4. Patch the _blind/ dossier authoring for next pass; update this checklist if the leak path was novel

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7bd69f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Blind Rediscovery loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 739 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Blind rediscovery — operational checklist

When chrono runs blind rediscovery (e.g. "does v1.3 reproduce findings from a prior daemon run?") the validation signal IS voice independence. If a fan-out voice reads a Stage N dossier that names prior findings by ID/class, the experiment is invalid.

This skill operationalizes the _blind/ vs _curated/ split codified in CLAUDE.md "Dossier authoring convention" so the discipline becomes a checklist, not just prose.

When to use

  • Running Stage 3 hypothesis exploration on a target with EXISTING saved findings
  • Validating a v1.3 system pass against legacy daemon work from a predecessor project
  • Any case where "did the voices arrive at this independently?" is the core question

When NOT to use

  • Resuming a known finding for PoC drafting (Stage 4) — voices need the prior work
  • New target with no prior chrono history — there's nothing to contaminate
  • Bulk-mechanical refactor / lint pass — no judgment, no voice independence to preserve

Directory layout

For a target with the slug <target>. The casing is load-bearing: dispatch_context_builder. enforce_blind_floor() keys the dispatch-level floor on exactly this path, and the maintainer's volume is case-insensitive, so a lowercase chrono/ here would resolve locally and fail on a case-sensitive filesystem.

$CHRONO_VAULT_ROOT/Chrono/dossiers/<target>/
├── _blind/                          # fan-out voices CAN read this
│   ├── stage-1-scope-<date>.md
│   ├── stage-2-codebase-map-<date>.md   # NO prior-finding refs
│   └── ...
├── _curated/                        # ONLY brain + operator read this
│   ├── prior-findings.md            # F1, F2, etc — the saved work
│   ├── stage-3-synthesis-<date>.md  # comparison-with-prior happens here

├── raw-voices/                      # raw fan-out outputs (also voice-readable)
└── _resume.md                       # session-resume index, brain-readable

What the dispatcher already guarantees

Since 2026-08-17 the _blind/ directory is not only a convention — it is enforced. When a packet declares target: <target> and that dossier has a _blind/ directory, build_context forces memory_aperture: cold for every role whose specialist brief declares blind_discovery: true, regardless of what the packet asked for. The briefs under departments/*/specialists/ and shared/specialists/ are the roster; grep them for the key rather than trusting a list copied into prose. See shared/protocol.md § The blindness floor.

target: is free text and stays free text — the floor reads dossier slugs out of whatever the field contains (examplechain/<target>@0000aaaa, <target> / example-chain-node @ 1111bbbb, Target), so it fires on the live packet convention without the packet having to change vocabulary. A target: that names no blinded dossier leaves the aperture alone; it is never a dispatch error. Naming the dossier slug plainly is still the clearest thing to write.

That covers vault recall. It does not cover the two contamination paths below — dossier prose that names prior findings, and web search for prior art. Those remain the author's job, which is what the rest of this checklist is for. Set target: on every blind-rediscovery packet; the floor is target-scoped and has nothing to key on without it.

Pre-fan-out checklist

Before assembling the fan-out brief, verify ALL of:

  • Every packet in the blind stage declares target: <target> so the dispatch-level floor applies

  • _blind/ exists; voice-readable dossiers live there

  • _curated/ exists; prior-findings + comparison docs live there

  • _blind/stage-N-*.md files contain NO references to: prior finding IDs (fnd_*), prior attack classes (e.g. "stale BRIDGE_PROVIDER_ROLE"), or prior PoC sketches

  • _blind/stage-N-*.md files DO contain: scope manifest, codebase map (architectural only), program rules, in-scope vuln class taxonomy

  • Brief explicitly tells voices to read ONLY _blind/ paths

  • Brief explicitly forbids reading _curated/ paths (use exact Do NOT read /path/to/_curated/ framing)

  • Brief forbids web search for prior art on the target (prior submissions on the target platform, GitHub issues, etc.)

Post-fan-out synthesis (where contamination is allowed)

After voices return their independent outputs, the synthesis stage IS allowed to read _curated/ for comparison. Synthesis dossier lives in _curated/, not _blind/. Synthesis includes:

  • Convergence table: which targets did N voices independently surface?
  • Comparison to prior findings: did voices rediscover F1 / F2 etc.?
  • Minority report: single-voice insights worth preserving
  • Contamination notes: any _blind/ content that accidentally hinted at priors

If contamination is discovered mid-pass

If a voice's output reveals it had access to prior-finding hints (the "GPT-5.5 explicit caveat" pattern from 2026-04-30 Dexalot Stage 3):

  1. Flag in the synthesis dossier — that voice's contaminated targets cannot count as independent rediscovery
  2. The voice's INDEPENDENT targets (those not in priors) still count
  3. Score system-validation against the clean independent targets only
  4. Patch the _blind/ dossier authoring for next pass; update this checklist if the leak path was novel

Authoring rule for new stage dossiers

Every new dossier in _blind/ should pass this self-check:

"If a voice reading this dossier had no other knowledge of the target, would they end up with the same priors as a voice that has access to my full prior-findings file?"

If yes — the dossier is contaminated. Move the prior-finding refs to _curated/.
