Init Discovery
Scaffold a multi-session structured discovery project. Use this skill when the user wants to set up a new exploration initiative, create a CLAUDE.md for a discovery project, or start a sustained investigation that will span multiple sessions. Trigger on phrases like "set up a discovery project", "init discovery", "scaffold an exploration", "I have a big problem to work through over multiple sessions", or "/thinkkit:init-discovery". This is the multi-session counterpart to /thinkkit:explore-with-me — use explore-with-me for single-session explorations and init-discovery when the work will span days or weeks.
