SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill stops fuzzy or generic product messaging by guiding product managers through a structured discovery process that names the target customer, unmet need, category, benefits, and competitive differentiation before drafting PRDs, launch plans, or marketing materials.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive five-question workshop: Collects context up front, then adjusts target-customer, job-to-be-done, category, benefit, and differentiation prompts to match B2B vs. B2C, new product vs. repositioning, and other nuances.
  • Facilitation protocol: Pairs with the workshop-facilitation skill for guided, single-question turns, numbered recommendations, interruption handling, and consistent progress labels so stakeholders stay aligned throughout the session.
  • Actionable output: Drives the creation of a Geoffrey Moore positioning statement using the referenced positioning-statement.md format, making it easy to stress-test with customers and feed into PRDs, press releases, and sales assets.

Quick Start

Run the positioning-workshop skill with your current messaging context and let it adaptively guide you through the target, need, category, benefit, and differentiation questions.
