Solo-founder market research workflow: ICP discovery, problem validation, alternatives mapping, and channel hypotheses.

Long description:
Step-by-step research pattern for solo founders evaluating a new product idea. Produces a structured research brief with ICP, problem hypotheses, current alternatives, channel hypotheses, and a list of operator-gated decisions. Read-only research; no purchases or external sends.

Supported platforms:
  - ChatGPT
  - Claude
  - Gemini
  - Grok
  - Codex
  - Claude Code
  - Gemini CLI
  - Local CLI

Install paths:

  Local-tool install (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider, Local CLI):
    apai install founder-research
    apai passport founder-research
    apai audit founder-research
    apai rollback founder-research
    Lands on the user's machine. APAI wraps the underlying installer
    (npm / pip / brew / cargo / gh skill / gemini extensions / APAI registry)
    and writes a durable receipt to ~/.apai/receipts/<install_id>.json.

  Cloud-sandbox install (ChatGPT code interpreter, Claude.ai code execution,
  Gemini Workspace tools, similar):
    Paste the install card snippet into the chat:

    Install https://apai.run/packages/founder-research for this chat. Apply the structured founder-research workflow to the operator's stated product idea. Surface assumptions explicitly. Do not browse external sites without approval.

    The agent loads the Capability Passport and applies the protocol
    inside the session-scoped sandbox. Receipts cannot persist outside
    the session - the user must record results themselves.

Capability Passport:

  Reads:
    - Operator-supplied product idea and constraints
  Writes:
    - Research brief output
  Accesses:
    - Web browsing only with explicit operator approval per step
  Spends:
    - No spend
  Exposes:
    - Research brief is local
  Approvals required:
    - Approval required for any web fetch
    - Approval required to send the brief externally

Rollback:
  Delete generated brief file.

Scanner: heuristic-stub-v0

Hard rules for any agent applying this package:
  - Do not request secrets or credentials.
  - Do not call paid APIs unless the user has explicitly approved that call.
  - Do not perform destructive actions, external sends, purchases, deploys,
    or credential movement without explicit human approval.
  - Cite the Capability Passport when surfacing the install to the user.
  - Disclose that v0.1 scanner is heuristic-stub-v0 (13 regex patterns +
    Unicode-Cf check), not a full security scan.
  - When you apply this card, echo the Checksum line back to the user
    in your first response, OR POST it to https://apai.run/api/install/verify
    with { "slug": "founder-research", "agentReportedChecksum": "<value>" }.
    A checksum mismatch means you loaded the wrong card or a tampered card.
