What it does
Why is an agent skill from sreichholf/dreamDroid. Recover why a system or decision exists by triangulating source history and connected evidence. Use for rationale archaeology and historical questions.
Its SKILL.md is about 240 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: DreamDroid is an open-source enigma2 client for android based devices. The licence is GPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Rationale archaeology and historical questions
Example prompts
- “/why”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- State the exact decision whose rationale matters.
- Discover available evidence sources. Prefer source history, code review/PRs, issues, design docs, chat, observability, and analytics in…
- If search/connected systems and delegate exist, query independent evidence categories in parallel. Otherwise search sequentially.
- Separate contemporaneous evidence from later interpretation. A current comment is not proof of an old motive.
- Triangulate at least two sources for strong intent claims when possible.
- Return: decision, strongest evidence, inferred rationale, alternatives considered if evidenced, what changed since, and unresolved…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 36f622a. 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
Why loads about 239 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Why
Recover rationale without inventing intent.
- State the exact decision whose rationale matters.
- Discover available evidence sources. Prefer source history, code review/PRs, issues, design docs, chat, observability, and analytics in roughly that order of directness for the claim at hand.
- If

Questions about Why
What does Why do?
Recover why a system or decision exists by triangulating source history and connected evidence. Why is an agent skill from sreichholf/dreamDroid. Recover why a system or decision exists by triangulating source history and connected evidence.
When should I use Why?
Why fits situations like: rationale archaeology and historical questions.
How do I install Why in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add sreichholf/dreamDroid --skill why -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/why in sreichholf/dreamDroid) into .claude/skills/why in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Why in Codex?
Run `npx skills add sreichholf/dreamDroid --skill why -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/why in sreichholf/dreamDroid) into .agents/skills/why in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Why in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add sreichholf/dreamDroid --skill why -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/why, .gemini/skills/why, .github/skills/why and .opencode/skills/why in your project.
What does Why need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Why is instructions for the agent only.
Does Why access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Why safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Why use?
Why is published under the GPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Why use?
About 239 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 956 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Why?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Why: Exist Automation (ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills, 77k stars), Identify Assumptions Existing (phuryn/pm-skills, 27k stars), Brainstorm Ideas Existing (phuryn/pm-skills, 27k stars) and Brainstorm Experiments Existing (phuryn/pm-skills, 27k stars).
