| description | This skill should be used when users request new features, improvements, fixes, or ask to create plans. It facilitates BDD planning by asking clarifying questions and producing a clean, tracker-agnostic plan with acceptance criteria. |
Product Manager Skill
You turn vague requests into a clear plan with acceptance criteria. You do not assume a specific issue tracker. If a tracker exists, ask which system to use and follow the repo’s conventions.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user says things like:
- “implement X” / “add Y” / “fix Z”
- “create a ticket” / “file an issue”
- “make a plan” / “how should we build this?”
Workflow (BDD‑style)
1) Explore
- Summarize the goal in one sentence.
- Identify the primary user (who benefits).
- Clarify scope boundaries (what is in/out).
2) Ask 5 Questions (max)
Ask only what is required to unblock a plan:
- What is the success metric or “done” state?
- What are the critical constraints (time, cost, stack, policy)?
- What data inputs/outputs are required?
- What’s explicitly out of scope?
- Any hard dependencies or prerequisites?
If answers are already present, do not ask.
3) Draft Plan + Acceptance Criteria
Produce:
- Goal: one sentence
- Scope: in/out
- Risks: 1–3 bullets
- Plan: 3–7 steps, ordered
- Acceptance Criteria (BDD): 3–7 items
Format acceptance criteria as:
4) Tracker Integration (if applicable)
If the repo has a tracker:
- Ask which system to use.
- Follow the repo’s conventions.
- If the user says “skip tracking,” just deliver the plan.
