What problem does it solve? Product teams often jump into development without a validated PRD, clear epics, or aligned requirements. This Skill activates John, a Product Manager persona that guides structured requirements discovery, PRD authoring, and planning readiness checks within the BMad Method workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Loads a customizable Product Manager identity (role, communication style, principles) merged from base, team, and user TOML configuration layers. - Planning Menu Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu to create or validate PRDs, generate epics and stories, check implementation readiness via sprint planning, or run course-correction when requirements change mid-implementation. - Persistent Context: Loads persistent facts and project config (user name, communication language, output language, planning artifact locations) so every session stays aligned with project conventions. - Use Case: A product owner starting a new feature says "hey John, let's write the PRD" and is guided through interview-driven requirements discovery that produces a validated PRD, epics, and stories ready for development. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to talk to John the product manager and state that you want to create a PRD for your feature.
