Run a structured discovery interview for a new client project and turn the answers into a completed brief plus a strategy starter document. Conversational, skips what is already known, and never fabricates unanswered questions. Use when the user says "run discovery", "brief for this client", "discovery questionnaire", or "help me figure out what this client needs".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Discovery Brief A project priced before discovery is a project scoped by hope. This skill runs the discovery conversation and turns the answers into two working documents: the brief (the project's source of truth) and a strategy starter (the first thinking pass). This is the interview counterpart to a client-facing intake form: the `client-intake-builder` skill generates an HTML questionnaire the CLIENT fills in alone; this skill interviews YOU (or processes the client's answers) and writes the documents. ## Step 1: Read what already exists Before asking anything, read whatever the user points at: an existing brief, intake form answers, emails, meeting notes, the client's website. Never ask a question the material already answers. ## Step 2: Interview across seven areas Ask in small batches, not twenty questions at once. Skip known answers. 1. **Business**: what the client does, how they make money, what stage they are at (new, rebrand, growing). 2. **Audience**: who buys now, who they WANT to buy, price positioning (budget, mid, premium). 3. **Competitors**: two or three names, what the client envies or hates about each. …

How to install
mdr add jqaisystems/jqai-ai-skills/discovery-brief@sha256:73b307b7f7acaf6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.88e305c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
