What problem does it solve? It prevents intellectual property contamination when researching competitors, implementing features informed by external products, or adding dependencies whose licenses could block intended outbound distribution models. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Clean-Room Handoff Workflow: Defines how to observe external behavior, write sanitized functional specifications, and separate research from implementation contexts. - SSO/Provenance Review: Provides an Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison checklist to verify independent design of structure, sequence, and organization. - Dependency License Gate: Records license obligations per dependency and blocks components that conflict with intended outbound offerings, including the AutoMapper/MediatR dual-version precedent. - Use Case: Before implementing a feature inspired by a competitor's product, produce a source-free handoff with an audit record, then run the SSO review and dependency gate before merging the PR. ## Quick Start Load the ip-clean-room skill before researching a competitor's event platform feature and generate a sanitized implementation handoff with an audit record.
