What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps product teams move beyond vague brainstorming and single-solution thinking by generating a structured set of product ideas from PMContext. It forces ideation across both existing-product optimization and adjacent new-scenario exploration, then ties each idea to a cheapest possible validation path.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dual-track ideation: Separates ideas into optimize and explore so teams do not over-focus on incremental improvements.
- Hypothesis-driven output: Requires every idea to include an explicit assumption and a lowest-cost validation method.
- Decision support: Adds a comparison matrix covering cost, expected benefit, risk, and validation cycle, then recommends what to test first.
- Traceable PM workflow: Connects ideas back to PMContext and supports downstream assumption and experiment planning.
- Use case: When a PM has a completed PMContext for a membership, SaaS, or internal tooling product and needs several viable solution directions instead of one obvious feature request.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to use pm-ideation on the current PMContext to generate at least five optimize and explore ideas with hypotheses, cheapest validations, and a recommended option to test first.
