For practitioners, agent-driven development that skips structured discovery increases the risk of wasted engineering cycles and unclear decision provenance. The open-source project **Mycelium** provides a Claude Code plugin that forces an evidence-gathering, discovery flow before agents generate code, according to the project's GitHub README (haabe/mycelium). The README documents `plugin` install commands and a one-command ` /mycelium:start` flow that runs a "10-minute discovery," per the repository. Related packages and writeups �2�� the `myco` PyPI package documents an agent substrate lineage (PyPI), and a developer writeup frames Mycelium as an exploration of federated, social infrastructure for agent identity and data (lqdev.me). The plugin is listed in third-party plugin indexes such as ClaudePluginHub.
