Discover groundcover fields, values, entities, metrics, and signal shape before writing a precise read-only query. Use for unfamiliar data, custom attributes, infrastructure-specific telemetry, entity-name uncertainty, metric selection, or an empty query result that may reflect an incorrect field or value.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/groundcover-com/claude-plugin-groundcover /tmp/claude-plugin-groundcover && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin-groundcover/skills/discovery ~/.claude/skills/discovery
```

## From README

Discovery Learn the data progressively, then query it precisely. Default to discovery unless field names and values have already been verified in the current conversation. Prepare Resolve the backend and workspace with listworkspaces. If multiple plausible choices remain, ask the user instead of guessing. Record the selected tenantuuid and backendid, and pass them to every subsequent tool call whose live schema accepts them; the server is stateless, so a selection made for one call does not carry into the next. Treat querymetrics and querymonitors like other routed tools. When their live schemas expose tenantuuid and backendid, pass the selected values explicitly, especially when the account exposes multiple choices. Establish a bounded time range and timezone. Call getgcqlreference before composing the first gcQL query in a session. Use the gcql-advanced skill when the refined query needs complex pipeline operations. The exploration loop Survey the landscape.
