v1.8.0
Multi-sided awareness + cold-start brainstorming
Two new conditional capabilities — single-sided, non-network apps skip them entirely and stay just as lean.
Added
- Multi-sided / marketplace discovery awareness. A new Phase 0 "how many sides?" gate detects two-sided products, and the skill then discovers each side, not just the one the founder happens to be: per-side ICP scoring (the second side's basics are the first side's table stakes), the other side's struggling moment, both-sides flows, and a compound riskiest-assumption ("both sides actually show up," and which side is harder to get).
- Cold-start brainstorming (Phase 6.6). After finding the growth loop, the skill asks whether the loop can even start. For marketplaces / networks / social apps that need critical mass, it brainstorms a bootstrap strategy with the user — single-player mode first, start narrow, hold the network behind a liquidity threshold, seed the hard side by hand, seed supply not demand — and names a minimum-liquidity threshold to cross before opening the doors.
- references/MULTI-SIDED.md and references/COLD-START.md — the fuller playbooks, loaded only when relevant.
Prompted by a Mag7 PM's feedback that the ClearList example grilled the seller but never the buyer.
