Not a template pack. A PM operator for AI coding tools.
Turn Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Windsurf into a product manager that can critique PRDs, diagnose SaaS metrics, plan roadmaps, run discovery, and coach career moves.
Zero scripts. Zero dependencies. Zero network calls. Pure Markdown knowledge you can inspect line by line before you install.
Most AI PM tooling is good at writing polished nonsense. This skill is designed for repeat workflows where rigor matters:
- Turn vague feature requests into problem framing, measurable outcomes, and a usable PRD.
- Diagnose SaaS health from raw metrics instead of getting generic advice like "improve retention."
- Pressure-test prioritization, roadmaps, and strategy with explicit tradeoffs.
- Coach PM to Director to VP transitions with concrete gaps and action plans.
| Workflow | Prompt | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS health diagnostic | "Analyze these metrics: MRR $50k, 500 customers, gross margin 80%, monthly churn 8%, CAC $500." | SaaS diagnostic demo |
| PRD pushback and review | "Review this PRD draft like a strong PM peer. Flag bad framing, missing metrics, solution smuggling, and delivery risk." | PRD review demo |
| Director readiness coaching | "I'm a senior PM interviewing for Director roles in 90 days. Diagnose my gaps and coach me." | Director coaching demo |

Help me write a PRD for a notification preferences feature. Make reasonable assumptions and label them.
Analyze these metrics: MRR $50k, 500 customers, gross margin 80%, monthly churn 8%, CAC $500.
Review my roadmap and tell me where stakeholder requests are outweighing evidence.
Input:
Analyze these metrics: MRR $50k, 500 customers, gross margin 80%, monthly churn 8%, CAC $500.
Expected behavior:
- 8% monthly churn compounds to roughly 63% annual churn. This is a red flag, not a "slightly high" metric.
- ARPA is about $100/month. With 80% gross margin and 8% monthly churn, better LTV is about $1,000.
- LTV:CAC is about 2:1. Payback is about 6.25 months.
- Diagnosis: payback is workable, retention is not. Do not scale acquisition until churn is understood cohort by cohort.

Input:
Review this PRD for a notification preferences center. Flag solution smuggling, weak metrics, overscoping, and delivery risk.
Expected behavior:
- Your problem statement is solution-smuggled: "users need a preferences dashboard."
- Success metrics have no baseline, target, or guardrail.
- Scope mixes channels, digests, quiet hours, admin rules, and migration. This is multiple releases.
- Recommend a thinner first slice: email opt-out + account-level preferences + measurable reduction in unsubscribe-driven churn.
Full example: examples/prd-review.md
Input:
I'm a senior PM managing two PMs, strong on execution, weak on org influence, and interviewing for Director roles in 3 months. Coach me.
Expected behavior:
- Diagnosis: strong team altitude, weak org altitude.
- Gap: you describe execution wins well but not portfolio tradeoffs or cross-functional influence.
- Plan: collect 3 stories that show org-level impact, build a weekly visibility loop, and practice decision framing with tradeoffs.

| Domain | What It Helps With | Example Frameworks |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & Research | Validate problems, prep interviews, map journeys, structure experiments | JTBD, Mom Test, Opportunity Solution Tree, Lean UX Canvas, PoL Probes |
| Strategy & Positioning | Position products, prioritize work, size markets, build roadmaps | Geoffrey Moore, PESTEL, TAM/SAM/SOM, RICE, ICE, Kano |
| Artifacts & Delivery | Write and critique PRDs, user stories, epics, PRFAQs, recommendation docs | Cohn + Gherkin, Story Mapping, Epic Breakdown, PRFAQ |
| Finance & Metrics | Calculate 32 SaaS metrics and diagnose business health | MRR, ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, Rule of 40, Magic Number |
| Career & Leadership | Coach PM to Director to VP transitions | Altitude-Horizon, Three Ps, 30-60-90 onboarding |
| AI Product Craft | Pressure-test AI-native product decisions | AI-Shaped Readiness, Context Engineering, Agent Orchestration |
| Generic prompting | This skill |
|---|---|
| Writes plausible PM text | Applies PM frameworks and quality gates |
| Accepts bad framing | Pushes back on Solution Smuggling, Metrics Theater, Feature Factory, and more |
| Gives generic churn advice | Calculates churn, LTV, payback, and names the real bottleneck |
| Asks you to repeat PM context every session | Carries a reusable PM workflow and routing system |
| Optimizes for politeness | Optimizes for decisions, tradeoffs, and next steps |
- Technical PMs, founders, and product leads who already work inside AI coding tools.
- Teams that want a reusable PM brain without sending product context to another SaaS.
- People who value pushback, assumptions, and explicit tradeoffs over nice-sounding output.
- Teams looking for a collaborative web app with approvals, comments, and sharing workflows.
- Users who only want passive template filling and never want the AI to challenge the framing.
- Non-technical buyers who prefer turnkey SaaS onboarding over local or repo-based installation.
This skill is optimized for a fast first useful draft:
- If the request is clear enough, it answers immediately and labels assumptions inline.
- If context is partial, it gives the best draft first and only asks the minimum follow-up questions needed.
- If the task is genuinely exploratory, it can switch into guided mode one question at a time.
- Every answer is expected to end with decisions made, assumptions to validate, and a recommended next step.
Most PM work is recurring. This skill is strongest when you reuse it weekly:
- Monday: review roadmap changes and prioritization requests.
- Mid-week: critique PRDs, epics, and user stories before sharing with engineering.
- Friday: run a SaaS health diagnostic or feature ROI check.
- Career season: rehearse interview stories, operating altitude, and leadership gaps.
