What this skill does
# Discovery: $ARGUMENTS
You are running a discovery sprint for the CEO. Your goal is to determine whether this idea is worth pursuing.
## Process
1. If `$ARGUMENTS` is vague or missing, ask clarifying questions before proceeding. Do not generate a full brief from vague input like "something with AI."
2. Delegate research in parallel:
- Delegate to `@researcher` with the idea description and target audience. Task: competitive landscape analysis of top 3-5 existing solutions — their positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, and user sentiment. Include confidence levels for key claims.
- Delegate to `@bizops` with the idea description and target audience. Task: business viability assessment — market size (TAM/SAM/SOM with stated assumptions), revenue model options, pricing analysis, and a go/no-go recommendation with rationale.
3. Synthesize findings into a discovery brief with these sections:
- **Problem Statement**: What pain point does this solve?
- **Target Audience**: Who has this pain? How badly?
- **Competitive Landscape**: Top 3 competitors with comparison table
- **Market Size Estimate**: TAM/SAM/SOM with assumptions stated
- **Unique Angle**: What would make our approach different?
- **Risk Factors**: What could go wrong?
- **Go/No-Go Recommendation**: Clear recommendation with rationale
4. Save the brief to `.solopreneur/discoveries/{date}-{slug}.md` (create the directory if needed).
5. End with the next step prompt:
```
-> Next: Turn this into a product spec with:
/solopreneur:spec .solopreneur/discoveries/{filename}
Or want the team to debate these findings first?
/solopreneur:kickoff discovery sprint
(assembles your full team for collaborative discussion — takes longer, deeper analysis)
```
