What's new

This release makes the project easier to evaluate, install, and discuss.

• Improved README onboarding with badges, compatibility notes, install paths, examples, and a workflow diagram.
• Added public-case-inspired examples based on Before You Build cases:
  • Dripfit: AI wrapper, consumer habit, and willingness-to-pay risk.
  • GummySearch: platform dependency and repeated research workflow risk.
  • Ledger Cloud Reminders: developer tool adoption, trust, and workflow-fit risk.
• Added GitHub issue templates for idea reviews, agent compatibility, and failure pattern suggestions.
• Added GitHub discussion templates for idea reviews and compatibility notes.
• Added CONTRIBUTING.md to keep the skill focused on pre-build product risk review.

Normal use does not require an API key. Optional Case Memory support is only used when an agent integration is available and the user allows it.

Initial public release of Before You Build Skill.\n\nIncludes:\n- SKILL.md for pre-build product and feature risk review.\n- Agent metadata for compatible tools.\n- Failure pattern, evidence check, and Case Memory API references.\n- Example prompts for new product ideas, feature changes, and launched projects.\n- Install and promotion notes.
