What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps product teams turn a partially defined product idea or PMContext into a focused metrics framework anchored by one clear north star metric. It prevents common mistakes like choosing revenue as the north star, defining too many top-line metrics, or picking indicators that cannot be traced back to user value.
Core Features & Use Cases
- North Star Definition: Derives a single customer-centered north star metric from PMContext and validates it against seven quality criteria.
- Input Metrics Design: Builds a supporting set of 3-5 input metrics that directly influence the north star and help teams identify optimization levers.
- Business Game Classification: Classifies the product as an attention, transaction, or productivity game to guide metric direction.
- Traceable Metrics Tree: Produces a Mermaid metric tree and source mapping so every metric can be traced back to PMContext evidence or explicitly marked as an assumption.
- Use Case: When a PM has already gathered requirements in PMContext for a membership renewal flow, this Skill can define the right north star, validate it, and produce an actionable measurement plan for launch.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to use pm-metrics on your PMContext to classify the business model, choose a north star metric, and generate 3-5 input metrics with a metric tree.
