# Podies Product Discovery

Use this skill when a user wants to discover pod drinks for a coffee-machine ecosystem such as Nespresso Original, Nespresso Vertuo, Keurig K-Cup, Dolce Gusto, Tassimo, Lavazza, Caffitaly, Senseo, ESE, or Illy Iperespresso.

## Inputs

- Machine system or capsule format.
- Drink type such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, chai, or matcha.
- Optional flavour, roast, decaf, intensity, material, recyclability, country, store, or price signal.

## Capabilities

- Find pod drinks by machine compatibility and drink type.
- Route agents to compact category, store, and catalogue metadata.
- Explain when compatibility is direct product evidence versus store-level inference.
- Help users compare broad discovery options before visiting source retailer pages.

## Resources

- Start with [full LLM context](https://podies.com/llms-full.txt) for context and public resource routing.
- Use the [site index](https://podies.com/index.json) for compact site metadata.
- Use the [catalogue manifest](https://podies.com/data/catalogue/index.json) before loading large catalogue files.
- Use the [category index](https://podies.com/data/categories.json) and `/c/<category>.md` for category summaries.
- Use the [store index](https://podies.com/data/stores.json), `/stores.md`, and `/stores/<store>.md` for source-store summaries.

## Constraints

- Treat Podies as a discovery catalogue, not a checkout.
- Send users to source retailer pages for live purchase details.
- Do not invent exact live prices, stock, ingredients, shipping, or compatibility guarantees.
- Prefer compact Markdown or JSON resources before parsing large HTML pages.
