SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The skill helps you make better product-leadership decisions by converting a rough idea or proposed plan into a structured product brief, strategy, and critique with clear assumptions and tradeoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Brainstorm product strategy & roadmap: guide an idea through problem diagnosis, customer/job framing, outcomes/metrics, MVP or experiment design, and prioritization tradeoffs.
  • Critique a proposed PRD/plan: evaluate a plan for missing diagnosis, unclear outcomes, weak assumptions, gameable metrics, and execution/learning gaps.
  • Route to the right depth when needed: automatically reference product-leadership rules and point you toward specialized lenses for analytics design, system design, people/org comms, or observability when those topics arise.

Quick Start

Ask the skill: “We’re brainstorming a roadmap for [product/feature]. Help us diagnose the problem, define the riskiest assumptions, propose an MVP experiment with kill criteria, and produce a product brief.”

How do I critique a PRD and identify weak assumptions or gameable metrics?▼

To critique a PRD, evaluate the plan for missing diagnosis, unclear outcomes, weak assumptions, gameable metrics, and execution gaps. This structured review outputs severity-based feedback highlighting specific risks.

How do I brainstorm a product strategy and define an MVP experiment with kill criteria?▼

Brainstorming product strategy involves guiding an idea through problem diagnosis, customer framing, and outcomes. You then define an MVP experiment with explicit kill criteria and output a structured product brief.

What is the best way to set OKR and NSM targets from a rough product roadmap?▼

Setting OKR and NSM targets from a roadmap requires converting rough ideas into structured strategy with clear assumptions. The process frames outcomes and metrics to ensure targets are not gameable.

Can I get sparring feedback on product launch plans and pricing motions?▼

Yes, you can get sparring feedback on product launch plans, pricing, and growth motions. The feedback applies a metrics, assumptions, and risk perspective to sharpen your proposed plan.

Does product strategy planning require integrating analytics and system design components?▼

Product strategy planning can route to specialized lenses for analytics design, system design, or observability when those topics arise. It references authoritative product-leadership rules to determine depth.
