Unable to install Power from standalone GitHub repository - "No valid power found"

[ouraihub]

Bug Description

When trying to install a Power from a standalone GitHub repository using "Import power from GitHub", I get the error:

Unable to install power: No valid power found in the repository. Please ensure the repository contains a valid POWER.md file with proper frontmatter.

However, the same Power installs successfully when using "Import power from a folder" locally.

Repository

Hi @ouraihub 👋 , thanks for reporting this issue. We've identified this as a bug and have prioritized a fix for it. In the interim, as a workaround you can move the POWER.md file and steering folder in a directory for instance project-standards.

Hi @Jay2113, not directly related, but is it recommended to place POWER.md under root directory in a repo, or under power- prefixed directory?

If we do latter as suggested in kiro doc, the user would have to remember to paste the github ulr including folder rather than just the url itself, which seems not to be very intuitive to me
