What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps structure early product discovery so an idea or a meaningful system change becomes organized shape-notes.md input for a downstream PRD workflow. It is useful when the user has a rough concept, unclear scope, or an existing product change that needs disciplined shaping before planning or implementation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided discovery workflow: Runs a multi-phase conversation to capture vision, persona, access control, MVP scope, functional requirements, business logic, non-goals, and open questions.
- Greenfield and brownfield support: Detects whether the current directory looks like a new project or an existing system and adapts the discovery process accordingly.
- Resume and checkpoint handling: Reads and updates shape-notes.md with checkpoint metadata so incomplete sessions can be resumed without repeating completed phases.
- Use case: A founder with a new app idea or a product engineer proposing a major feature in an existing codebase can use this Skill to convert scattered thinking into a structured artifact that is ready for PRD generation.
