Add a locally-installable Claude Code plugin with 5 product discovery
skills based on Teresa Torres (Continuous Discovery Habits), Marty Cagan
(Inspired/Empowered/Transformed), and Google Ventures Design Sprint:

  • /ost — Opportunity Solution Tree builder (Torres)
  • /assumption-testing — Assumption mapping and experiment design (Torres + Kagan)
  • /discovery-coaching — Product discovery maturity coaching (Kagan + Torres)
  • /design-sprint — Google Ventures Design Sprint facilitator (Knapp)
  • /interview-planning — Customer interview planning and synthesis (Torres)

- Fix "Kagan" → "Cagan" across all skill files (10 occurrences)
- Replace cryptic "/ost" skill name with "/opportunity-solution-tree"
- Expand all "OST" abbreviations to "Opportunity Solution Tree"
  throughout cross-references in all skills

…, and routing

Major changes across all 5 existing skills + 1 new skill:

**All skills:**
- Added hard rules / guardrails to prevent discovery theater
- Added stronger trigger descriptions with concrete trigger phrases and negative triggers
- Added anti-pattern detection at every step
- Added kill criteria and decision outputs (proceed/iterate/pivot/kill)
- Added solo founder / bootstrap adaptations throughout
- Every skill now forces evidence before artifacts

**opportunity-solution-tree:**
- Evidence gate: refuses to populate opportunities without customer evidence
- Requires 3+ solutions per opportunity (enforced, not suggested)
- Decision output required at end of every tree
- Evidence quality grading table

**interview-planning:**
- Added solo founder recruiting guidance (Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, communities)
- Added evidence strength grading (anecdote vs pattern vs strong signal)
- Stronger synthesis section with frequency × intensity ranking
- Explicit bans on feature-wishlist questions

**assumption-testing:**
- Kill criteria required for every experiment (non-negotiable)
- Success criteria must be defined BEFORE running (enforced)
- "Not yet killed" language instead of "validated"
- Decision framework at end: if-pass/if-fail branching
- Blocks testing easy assumptions before risky ones

**discovery-coaching:**
- Embedded full anti-pattern detector (12 patterns with symptoms/risk/corrective action)
- Routing table to direct users to specific skills
- Solo founder quick-start workflow
- Context-dependent cadence design (solo vs trio vs org)

**design-sprint:**
- Scoped much tighter: explicit when-NOT-to-use section
- Positioned as heavy intervention, not default tool
- Hard rule: no sprint without access to real users for testing

**NEW: discovery-intake (routing skill):**
- Default entry point for product discovery
- Decision tree that routes to the right skill based on context
- Anti-pattern pre-check before routing
- Minimum viable discovery cheat sheet for solo founders
