Help users document system architecture with Mermaid diagrams; produces overview, tier deep-dives, data flows, and a component summary table.

Invoke when planning a user interview; produces a best-practice template (Open, Usability, or Mixture) with Mom Test-aligned questions.

Help users prepare and deliver decision briefings using the SOCRR framework. Use when someone needs a decision from a manager, executive, sponsor, or stakeholder group.

Create or analyze Developer Experience surveys. Creation mode outputs a 9-question HaTS-aligned survey; Analysis mode outputs sentiment metrics with theme clustering.

Help users define user needs with personas, a use case table (Outcome / How Today / Future / North Star), and open questions.

Help users craft persuasive narratives; produces a Story Map with headline, opening, narrative arc, and delivery practice guide.

Write a complete Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a feature, product area, or initiative. Trigger this skill whenever someone asks to write a PRD, requirements doc, spec, or product brief — or says things like "I need to document this feature," "help me write up what we're building before sprint planning," or "my VP wants a spec for this project." This is the default PRD format covering problem statement, goals, user stories, success metrics, technical considerations, milestones, and risks — designed to align engineering, design, TPM, and leadership. Do NOT trigger for: one-pagers for exec approval (use create-prd-one-pager), specs optimized for AI coding agents (use create-prd-claude-code), deep engineering specs with API contracts (use create-prd-engineering), or build-vs-buy decisions (use decision-brief).

Analyze a Zoom user interview — merges a VTT transcript with PM interview notes (markdown) to produce a complete research summary saved as a local markdown file.

Write a PRD optimized for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex). Includes standard product context plus implementation-specific sections -- file structure, code patterns, API contracts with request/response examples, test cases, migration steps, and sequenced build order. The output is designed so an AI coding tool can build directly from it.

Write a detailed PRD for engineering teams covering functional requirements, technical constraints, data models, API contracts, edge cases, acceptance criteria per story, release stages, and cross-functional tracking. Use when the engineering team needs a comprehensive build spec.

Monitor MRs into a codebase area and generate release notes summarizing all changes.

Write a single-page PRD for leadership and partner audiences. Covers problem, proposal, impact, timeline, ask, and risks using business language. Use when you need to drive alignment and approval, not detail implementation.

Practice Analytical Thinking PM interviews. Use when someone wants to practice an AT interview, get coached on their AT interview template, or learn the AT interview framework. Can act as the candidate (user plays interviewer) or as a coach (user submits their template for scoring).

Practice Product Sense PM interviews. Use when someone wants to practice a Product Sense interview, get coached on their PS interview template, or learn the PS interview framework. Can act as the candidate (user plays interviewer) or as a coach (user submits their template for scoring).

Help users run question-storming sessions to explore problem spaces. Use when someone needs to understand a new domain, kick off discovery for a feature or initiative, structure a dashboard around the right questions, or get a team aligned on what they don't know.

Search codebases across repositories using Sourcegraph MCP integration — code search, commit history, diffs, symbol navigation, and DeepSearch

Analyze user feedback from surveys, interviews, and Slack channels to extract themes, sentiment patterns, pain points, and actionable product signals. Use when you have raw feedback data and need structured insights.

Help engineering teams completely automate their review process — code reviews, design reviews, and approval workflows.

Monitor Outlook email and calendar for Zoom meeting recordings and transcripts, then convert them into structured markdown notes in Obsidian with key decisions, action items, and follow-ups.

Create a Figma mockup or wireframe from a PRD, design brief, or verbal idea. Translates product requirements into visual design specs with layout, components, and interaction notes.

Create a Go-To-Market plan for a product launch or feature release. Use when you need to coordinate messaging, positioning, enablement, launch timing, and cross-functional readiness across PM, Marketing, Sales, and Support.

Walk through a product launch checklist covering readiness, stakeholder sign-off, documentation, support, and go-to-market.

Map and align internal stakeholders for a project or initiative — identify decision makers, influencers, and blockers with an engagement plan.

Run theme-based feature prioritization using RICE, Kano, or custom frameworks. Use when you have a backlog of features or themes and need a structured, defensible prioritization with stakeholder-ready output.

Create structured hypotheses and validation plans to prove or disprove product assumptions. Use when you need to define what you believe, how to test it, and what evidence would change your mind.

Write and rewrite long-form posts in Jason Means's personal Medium voice using story-first structure, practical frameworks, and reflective coaching tone. Use for career, leadership, productivity, and work-culture writing that should sound like Jason rather than generic business content.

Build and reinforce core engineering execution habits with repeatable practices for architecture decisions, testing strategy, and code review discipline. Use when planning capability growth, improving delivery quality, or creating weekly technical drills.

Write in Jason Means' authentic voice and style. Use when Jason needs help drafting blog posts, LinkedIn posts, memos, talks, or any written content that should sound like him. Analyzes topic and produces content matching his signature blend of personal storytelling, practical frameworks, and vulnerability.
