Step 5 tells the agent to use 'the idea brief structure from the plugin template,' but that template lives at plugins/cosmosmith/templates/artifacts/idea-brief.md — a sibling of the skills/ folder, not inside the cosmosmith-product-discovery skill dir itself, so a verbatim `cp -r skills/cosmosmith-product-discovery` install silently drops the template (and the task.md/AGENTS.md scaffolding the workflow reads/writes) since those only get created by the separate `npx cosmosmith init` CLI, not by installing the skill.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 3/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What Cosmosmith Product Discovery does

Asks at most three high-leverage Socratic questions, optionally does web research for current market/competitor context, then writes docs/cosmosmith/idea-brief.md covering user, job-to-be-done, first valuable slice, and acceptance criteria, and queues the next task for a downstream 'spec-governor' role. Triggers when a user has a rough idea but no clear problem, target user, or acceptance criteria yet.

How to install Cosmosmith Product Discovery

git clone https://github.com/devnomad-byte/cosmosmith
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
