i2p — Help / Browse the marketplace

One place to answer "I installed this suite — what can I do now, and where do I start?" The honest job here is knowledge-parity: close the gap between the powers a user has and the powers they know about. Describe only what is actually installed.

Stance — show, don't oversell. List installed plugins as live powers; list absent ones only as "add it to unlock …". Never imply you can run a command from a plugin that isn't present.

1. Detect what's active (model-driven)

Judge which idea-to-production plugins are active from the skills and commands available to you this session — this is the marketplace's established capability-detection pattern. Do not shell out or probe the filesystem. The plugins to look for:

Plugin	Stage	Headline commands
market-scanner	DISCOVER	/discovery-goal, /market-scan
ideator	IDEATE	/ideate
atelier	DESIGN (+ usability cross-cuts)	/ui-review, /mockup
foundry	BUILD + ASSURE (quality gate)	/foundry, /pr-review, /coverage-loop, /roadmapper…
sentinel	SECURE (security gate)	/security-gate, /secret-scan, /pii-audit, /dependency-audit
pressroom	PUBLISH	/publish, /pressroom:design-review
mission-control	OPERATE	(add to unlock — observe, respond to incidents, iterate the live product)
i2p	front door	/i2p-help, /i2p-review, /i2p-check, /i2p-flow, /i2p-lifecycle
concierge	arrival	/concierge:define-welcome, /concierge:statusline

2. Render the menu

Keep it scannable — a menu, not an essay:

1. The three pillars, one line each: knowledge-parity · quality-first · waste-elimination (overarching constraint: token-efficiency; the suite is self-improving via PRs). See knowledge/covenant.md.
2. The value flow with only installed plugins placed on it, each with its headline command and a one-line "run this when you want…". Mark dark stages as "▫ add <plugin> to unlock …".
3. The meta-commands: /i2p-review (one verdict from every reviewer), /i2p-check (consolidated readiness), /i2p-flow (the flow + your next command), /i2p-lifecycle (start/track the lifecycle).
4. Go deeper: marketplace README.md; plugins/foundry/knowledge/glossary.md (every term); plugins/foundry/VALUE_FLOW.md (the system).

3. The product lifecycle — explain, then offer to kick one off

Always include a short Product Lifecycle section, because it is the spine the whole suite is organised around. Summarise the model from ../../knowledge/product-lifecycle.md:

idea-to-production is the creation arc of a product — it begins with the search for an idea and carries it into OPERATE (realised, live, and kept alive). Eight phases forming a cycle, each owned by one plugin: DISCOVER ① (market-scanner) → IDEATE ② (ideator) → DESIGN ③ (atelier) → BUILD ④ (foundry) → ASSURE ⑤ (foundry — quality V&V) → SECURE ⑥ (sentinel — security) → PUBLISH ⑦ (pressroom) → OPERATE ⑧ (mission-control — observe, respond, iterate) ↻ loops back to DISCOVER. ASSURE and SECURE are separate first-class gates (quality ≠ security). Three concerns cross-cut every phase: usability (atelier), quality (foundry — built-in not inspected-in), security (sentinel — baked in from the start). (The marketing market life cycle — introduction→growth→maturity→decline — runs alongside OPERATE.)

Then offer to kick one off: ask if they'd like to start a product lifecycle for this project. If yes, run /i2p-lifecycle init (sets phase DISCOVER) and route them to the first installed owner (/market-scan, or /ideate if they already have a validated idea). If a .i2p/lifecycle.json already exists, report the current phase instead and offer advance. Mention that the status line shows the live phase — offer /concierge:statusline if it isn't enabled.

4. Focus mode

If $ARGUMENTS names a stage or plugin (design, atelier, security…), zoom in: that plugin's commands, what each produces, and a "next command" suggestion. Otherwise show the whole menu.

Self-improvement covenant

Inherits the front door covenant (knowledge/covenant.md). When a user couldn't find a power they had, that is a gap in this menu — add the missing line or a tip, fixed upstream once, so every future /i2p-help surfaces it.
