# idea-scope-brief Changelog

## v0.17 - 2026-06-12

- Standardized active pack and skill install guidance on `npx skillpacks install <pack-or-skill>` instead of agent-native `/pack install` or `$pack install` recommendations.

## v0.16 - 2026-06-11

- Added Deck Fit Handoff routing so completed idea briefs prefer matching saved repo decks from `.agents/project.json` `saved_decks` / `decks`, then fall back to canonical decks (`vard`, `ord`, `business-afps`, `devtool-afps`, `game-afps`).
- Updated `## Next Steps` to make high-confidence deck installs the primary command, using `npx skillpacks install-deck <deck>` for canonical decks and explicit pack install guidance for customized saved decks.
- Added default routing examples for game, rapid OSS/devtool, deliberate devtool, rapid business/consumer, and deliberate business/SaaS concepts.

## v0.15 - 2026-06-11

- Updated downstream business research pack checks from `business-discovery` to `business-research` after the pack rename.

## v0.14 - 2026-06-10

- Idea Assumptions Manifest now renders inline as the final message text of its own turn, with the confirmation question asked in the following turn, never only as mid-turn text before a tool or command call. Applies the Manifest Visibility Rule in docs/interview-convention.md.

## v0.13 - 2026-06-11

- Added npm-aware install-route alternatives to downstream pack recommendations while preserving Codex `$pack install` routes.

## v0.12 - 2026-06-06

- Updated downstream discovery routing from the retired short-form command to `$customer-discovery`, including readiness wording, product-path next-skill hints, and business-discovery fallback text.

## v0.11 - 2026-06-05

- Added review-only product path approval rule: when a user approves a product-path fork at the alignment page level but withholds canonical-write approval, keep canonical files unchanged, render fully in the alignment page, and set `approval_status: review-only-approved`. Downstream skills treat review-only-approved paths as provisional until a subsequent alignment cycle grants manifest approval.

## v0.10 - 2026-06-04

- Added Market Structure Handoff guidance so marketplace/platform/B2B2C/multi-sided concepts pass apparent sides and value exchange to `$icp` as hypotheses for validation, not preselected ICPs.

## v0.9 - 2026-06-04

- Added explicit `business-discovery` and `business-ops` pack-install fallback wording at `$icp` and `$product-line` recommendation sites so the routing audit can verify cross-pack guards.

## v0.8 - 2026-05-31

- Require a pre-approval HTML alignment preview after the coverage checkpoint and before canonical `idea-brief`, interview-log, or `research/.progress.yaml` writes. Coverage-checkpoint confirmation is non-final; only final compiled YAML approval authorizes canonical writes or downstream routing. This applies the `tasks/lessons.md` lesson "Approval-gated research needs alignment preview before approval."

## v0.7 - 2026-05-30

- Rename the producer artifact from `concept-brief` to `idea-brief` across all output paths (`research/idea-brief.md`, `research/idea-brief-interview.md`, slugged `research/{slug}/idea-brief*.md`, and legacy `research/idea-brief-{slug}.md`) so the artifact is named after the skill's subject like every sibling skill. Hard rename with no legacy fallback: the skill now writes only the `idea-brief` names and no longer recognizes `concept-brief` filenames. Added a migration note to `## Constraints` instructing existing projects to rename prior `concept-brief*` files before re-running. The word "concept" is preserved everywhere it denotes the product concept itself (concept identity, concept slug, concept summary). Supersedes the v0.6 "filename unchanged" note, which stays as historical record.

## v0.6 - 2026-05-30

- Rename "Concept Assumptions Manifest" to "Idea Assumptions Manifest" so the manifest is named after the skill's subject, matching the convention used by `ui-interview` (UI Assumptions Manifest), `ux-variations` (UX Variation Assumptions Manifest), and `feature-interview`. The `concept-brief.md` output filename is unchanged.

## v0.5 - 2026-05-30

- Added product-path scope resolution before code/app structure hints, archived-path exclusion, `active_paths` normalization, and scoped `research/{slug}/concept-brief.md` output guidance.

## v0.3 - 2026-05-27

- Added `research/.progress.yaml` product-path manifest handling for related concepts, app paths, product lines, and pivots.
- Clarified that product-path divergence is tracked with `product_paths`, not git branch terminology.

## v0.1

- Remove bootstrap-repo from next-step routing — bootstrapping a repo is premature before research (no tech stack, no firm product decision)
- Make `$pack install business-discovery` the primary recommendation for business/product concepts
- Reorder routing: business-discovery install → ICP → customer-lifecycle → pack recommend

## v0.0

- Initial version

## v0.2 - 2026-05-25

- Added research-quality alignment requirements covering claim/evidence/inference separation, no-context-loss HTML translation, evidence matrices, confidence/assumption registers, source coverage, and research completeness gates.

## v0.4

- Archived previous skill contract.
