What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps product teams make sense of cohort and retention data by turning raw user behavior metrics into actionable product insights. Instead of stopping at a heatmap or a table of percentages, it identifies which user cohorts are underperforming, how retention and feature adoption differ over time, and what follow-up research should happen next.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PMContext-grounded cohort analysis: Derives retention metrics, cohort dimensions, and adoption thresholds directly from PMContext so the analysis stays aligned with product goals and definitions.
- Retention and adoption pattern detection: Builds cohort retention views, compares feature adoption curves, flags underperforming or unusual cohorts, and marks insufficient data when pattern detection is unreliable.
- Research-ready output: For every abnormal cohort, it adds a hypothesis, a validation path, and traceability back to the PMContext metric source.
- Use Case: When monthly signup cohorts show declining D7 and D30 retention, this Skill can pinpoint which month dropped most, connect the drop to onboarding or feature discovery changes, and recommend targeted interviews or experiments.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to use pm-cohort to analyze your signup or activation cohorts against PMContext retention thresholds and identify anomalous cohorts with likely causes and validation steps.
