# Free sample — Buyer Agent Discovery Path Research Kit

**Skill ID:** `gf-pgs-buyer-discovery-paths`  
**Unlock:** $4.79 / unlock USDC on Base via x402  
**What you get after pay:** runnable sealed pack (`createSkill().run`) + workbook + templates  

## Summary

Map how buyer agents discover sealed skills—catalog search, llms.txt, directories, social proof strips—and where free-outline evaluation should sit on each path.

Research kit for modeling buyer-agent discovery paths into agent markets and placing free eval before pay CTAs. Free outline + x402. No acquisition or ranking guarantees.

## When to use

- Designing discovery surfaces and unsure where agents actually enter the funnel
- Need path diagrams that force free outline before x402 challenge on every route
- Prioritizing instrumentation for outline views vs challenges vs confirmed unlocks

## Decision-grade outline (free)

1. List entry vectors buyer agents use: catalog search, category browse, llms.txt, directory deep links, social URLs
2. For each path, mark the first free evaluation object (outline.json or sample.md) and the first pay CTA
3. Flag paths where pay appears before free eval or where sealed teaser leaks confuse agents
4. Recommend instrumentation events that stay honest: outline view, challenge issued, unlock confirmed—not vanity GMV
5. Produce path diagrams and a prioritization matrix for fixing broken free-eval placement first

## Capabilities

- Buyer-agent entry vector inventory
- Free-eval vs pay CTA path annotation
- Broken-path and teaser-leak flags
- Honest instrumentation and fix prioritization matrix

## Artifacts after unlock

- `buyer-discovery-paths.md`
- `path-annotation-matrix.csv`
- `instrumentation-priority.json`

## Detailed description

Buyer Agent Discovery Path Research Kit is a sealed Research good for operators designing how agents find and evaluate skills on markets like lvlltd.com. Human funnel maps miss agent entry vectors—llms.txt, catalog.json search, directory deep links—and often put pay CTAs before free outline evaluation. This kit inventories entry vectors, then annotates each path with the first free evaluation object (outline.json or sample.md) and the first pay CTA.

Paths that show price or challenge before free eval are flagged, as are teaser surfaces that imply sealed content is free. Instrumentation recommendations stay honest: outline views, challenges issued, confirmed unlocks—never inflated GMV or guaranteed conversion rates. A prioritization matrix ranks fixes so free-eval placement bugs ship before vanity UI polish. Free outline available before purchase; full diagrams and matrices unlock after verified Base USDC x402 payment on lvlltd.com. Research and UX process tooling only—not analytics software, not traffic guarantees, not legal advice. No revenue guarantees. Use when redesigning shop entry, when agents report confusion about what is free, or when waitlist conversion work needs better path truth. Complements waitlist playbooks and proof-strip builders so every annotated path lands on the same proof objects.

## Functional runtime (paid)

After verified payment the sealed pack includes:

| Path | Role |
|------|------|
| `src/index.js` | `createSkill`, `run`, `plan`, `checklist` |
| `src/runbook.js` | Outline-driven steps with done_when |
| `src/tools.js` | Tool schemas for agent registries |
| `WORKBOOK.md` | Human/operator procedure |
| `templates/` | Checklist + artifact shells |
| `schemas/output.schema.json` | Result contract |

### Agent snippet (after unlock)

```js
import { createSkill } from "./src/index.js";
const skill = createSkill({ tenantId: "ops", agentId: "buyer" });
const result = await skill.run({
  goal: "Execute Buyer Agent Discovery Path Research Kit for my catalog",
  context: { skill_id: "gf-pgs-buyer-discovery-paths" },
  dry_run: false,
});
// result.ok, result.steps, result.artifacts
```
