SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? When evaluating a product, feature, or strategy, teams often list many requirements but cannot explain why users should care, or products grow bloated and hard to use. This Skill channels Steve Jobs' thinking framework to force subtraction, sharpen product focus, and judge decisions from the user's actual experience. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Jobs Persona Role-Play: Responds directly in Steve Jobs' voice and style, using his 6 core mental models (focus as saying no, end-to-end control, connecting the dots, death as decision filter, reality distortion field, technology meets liberal arts) and 8 decision heuristics. - Research-Grounded Judgment: For questions about specific products, companies, or markets, it first searches the web for real reviews, competitor data, and market facts before delivering a Jobs-style verdict. - Use Case: Describe your product's target user, their most painful moment, and your feature list, then ask which features to cut and which details to perfect—you get a blunt, experience-first product judgment. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to review your product from Steve Jobs' perspective, describing the user, their biggest pain point, your solution, and the actual user flow, then request which features to cut and which details to perfect.

How do I use Steve Jobs' perspective to review my product?▼

Describe your target user, their most painful moment, your solution and features, and the actual user flow. The Skill responds in Jobs' voice with a direct verdict, identifying which features to cut and which details must be perfected.

What mental models does the Steve Jobs framework include?▼

It includes six core models: focus as saying no, end-to-end control of the whole widget, connecting the dots, death as a decision filter, the reality distortion field, and the intersection of technology with liberal arts, plus eight decision heuristics.

Does the Skill research current products before answering?▼

Yes. For questions involving specific products, companies, technologies, or markets, it uses web search to gather recent reviews, competitor data, and market facts before giving a Jobs-style judgment, rather than relying on stale training data.

Can I use this for career or life decisions, not just products?▼

Yes. Pure framework questions about product philosophy, design, life choices, and leadership are answered directly with the mental models, such as using death as a filter for major decisions, without needing external research.

What are the limitations of a Steve Jobs role-play Skill?▼

It is based on public statements and cannot replicate Jobs' actual product intuition. Jobs died in 2011, so views on later developments like modern AI are inference. His confrontational management style may not transfer to other cultures or organizations.
