SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines the first phase of Discovery by creating a Session, generating a unique task_id (e.g., DISC-NNN), selecting planned_phases, drafting an approved Frame into memo.md, and handing off to the next phase. It ensures a human-in-the-loop workflow with governance and traceability for opportunity assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session creation and Frame initialization for fresh Discovery sessions.
  • Auto-generation of a DISC-NNN task_id and placement into a persistent .agent-session directory.
  • Drafting memo.md from a bundled template using the opportunity pitch, aligned with Marty Cagan's Opportunity Assessment framework.
  • Plan selection and precondition checks, with atomic writes to memo.md and session.yml to ensure consistency.
  • Handoff logic to advance to Phase 2 (Investigate) or pause for later continuation, depending on planned Phases.

Quick Start

Invoke /discovery-lead with an opportunity pitch to create a new Discovery Frame and generate the initial memo.
