Growth Scout v0.6.0

Unified MCP server with ask-first work-item demand signals.

Added

• Work-item demand signal MCP tools — SCM/issue-tracker agnostic, ask-first by design.
  • preview_work_item_mine — show scope summary and estimated item count; no issue bodies in preview.
  • mine_work_item_signals — fetch normalized demand signals after user approval (confirmed: true + valid preview_id).
  • GitHub and file providers (v1); GitLab and Linear stubs return not_implemented.
  • Normalized WorkItemSignal schema, theme clustering, evidence ledger markdown output.
  • templates/work-items-export-template.json for file provider.
• SKILL.md — Phase 3 ask-first rules for work-item mining; never auto-detect provider or mine on bootstrap install.

Changed

• Breaking: Renamed MCP package mcp/growth-scout-competitor/ → mcp/growth-scout-mcp/.
  • Package name: @growth-scout/mcp (was @growth-scout/competitor-mcp).
  • Bin: growth-scout-mcp (was growth-scout-competitor-mcp).
  • MCP server key: growth-scout-mcp (was growth-scout-competitor).
  • Update MCP config paths to mcp/growth-scout-mcp/dist/index.js.
• integrations/mcp.md — unified server docs, work-item ask-first flow, GITHUB_TOKEN env.
• mcp/README.md — competitor + work-item tools, token scopes, safety limits.
• references/industry-packs/developer-tools.md — issue tracker signals described as SCM-agnostic.

Growth Scout v0.5.0

Bootstrap install for one-command activation.

Added

• scripts/install-growth-scout.mjs — bootstrap install: copy skill files into a product repo (--layout root or cursor), run repo inventory, write .growth-scout/product-map-draft.md, and print a first agent prompt.
• **
  epo-inventory.mjs** — exports generateProductMap for reuse by the install script (CLI behavior unchanged).
• README — Option C bootstrap install and Tooling section for the install script.
• Integrations — bootstrap install smoke test in integrations/VERIFICATION.md; CONTRIBUTING smoke-test lines.

v0.4.0

Added

• MCP competitor scout — optional mcp/growth-scout-competitor/ package with stdio MCP server.
  • scout_competitors — end-to-end scout: product category + competitor names → draft matrix markdown + evidence ledger rows.
  • fetch_page, competitor_snapshot, search_competitor_pages — low-level tools for debug and partial reruns.
  • Brave Search (default) and Serper search providers; graceful fallback when API key missing.
• mcp/README.md — server install, tools, env vars, safety limits (agent-neutral).
• integrations/mcp.md — connect from any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.); usage rules for agents.
• SKILL.md — quick reference row for optional MCP scout (integrations/mcp.md); no agent-specific MCP instructions in canonical workflow.
• Integrations — per-agent pointers in integrations/cursor.md, integrations/claude-code.md; matrix row in integrations/README.md; verification in integrations/VERIFICATION.md.
• CI — validate-mcp job runs MCP package tests and build on push/PR.

Changed

• README roadmap: MCP competitor fetch marked shipped; Tooling section documents optional MCP.
• scripts/validate-links.mjs scans mcp/*.md.

Full changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.0

v0.3.0

Industry reference packs for vertical-specific Phase 3 scouting.

Added

• Industry reference packs in references/industry-packs/ — starter vertical heuristics for B2B SaaS, developer tools, and consumer mobile (table-stakes, signal sources, competitor buckets, evidence labeling).
• SKILL.md — Quick reference row for industry packs; Phase 3 pointer when the user names a vertical.
• Link validation — scripts/validate-links.mjs scans references/industry-packs/*.md.

Changed

• README roadmap: industry reference packs marked shipped.
• references/growth-taxonomy.md cross-links to industry packs.

Full changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

v0.2.0

Tooling, CI, and documentation for adopting Growth Scout at scale.

Added

• Large repository mode in SKILL.md — multi-turn workflow to avoid blowing context on big codebases.
• scripts/validate-links.mjs — checks relative markdown and backtick .md references in core docs; exits non-zero on broken links.
• scripts/repo-inventory.mjs — zero-dependency CLI that emits a pre-filled product-map skeleton from a target repo.
• CI — .github/workflows/validate.yml runs link validation on push and pull requests (Node 20).
• VERSION file for pinning which skill revision a product repo copied.
• CONTRIBUTING.md — validation, rubric changes, examples, and versioning guidance.
• README Tooling and Versioning sections with example output links near Quick start.
• Second GOS worked example (references/opportunity-scoring.md) in the Validate first band (~GOS 19).
• integrations/VERIFICATION.md — copy-paste test prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex.

Changed

• Phase 5 in SKILL.md now points to the GOS recommendation threshold table in references/opportunity-scoring.md.
• README roadmap updated: repo inventory CLI shipped; MCP competitor fetch remains optional future work.

Full changelog: v0.1.0...v0.2.0

v0.1.0

First open-source release of the Growth Scout skill package.

Tag: 96d4bc5 (MIT-licensed release; core skill package from #1 at 704752f).

Added

• Canonical workflow — SKILL.md with five-phase growth scouting (product scan → opportunity report → PRD).
• References — codebase mapping, competitor analysis, growth taxonomy, market signals, opportunity scoring (GOS), validation experiments.
• Templates — product map, opportunity report, growth PRD, competitor matrix, evidence ledger, GitHub issues.
• Examples — fictional Chartflow product scan, opportunity report, and growth PRD.
• Integrations — per-agent setup notes for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and Aider.
• MIT license and open-source README (#2).
