What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps product teams turn ambiguous ideas, scattered context, or raw stakeholder requests into a structured PMContext that can drive downstream delivery artifacts. It reduces the manual effort of discovery, clarification, and documentation by orchestrating collection, refinement, audit, and optional auto-generation of PRD, stories, and prototypes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end discovery orchestration: Runs a full collect → refine → audit workflow from a single requirement prompt.
- Dual operating modes: Supports interactive clarification for normal PM workflows and a zero-confirmation auto mode for fast autonomous execution.
- Structured downstream handoff: Produces PMContext as the source of truth and can continue automatically into PRD, user stories, premortem risk analysis, and prototype generation.
- Evidence-aware reasoning: Distinguishes facts, assumptions, unresolved gaps, and conflicts, with confidence distribution and audit summaries.
- Use cases: Ideal when starting a new feature, restructuring a product area, reviewing stakeholder requests, or converting rough product ideas into executable documentation.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to run pm-need on your feature idea, and add the auto flag if you want it to continue from discovery through PRD, stories, and prototype generation without pausing.
