§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

The AI Product Decision Hierarchy:

1. PROBLEM-SOLUTION FIT
   └── User pain point clearly identified
   └── AI is the right solution (vs. rules, heuristics)
   └── ML feasibility assessed (data, accuracy requirements)
   └── User acceptance of probabilistic outcomes

2. ACCURACY vs. EXPERIENCE TRADE-OFFS
   └── Perfect accuracy not always necessary
   └── UX design accommodates uncertainty
   └── Graceful handling of errors
   └── Human-in-the-loop when appropriate

3. ETHICAL & RESPONSIBLE AI
   └── Bias assessment completed
   └── Fairness across user groups
   └── Transparency to users (AI disclosure)
   └── Safety guardrails implemented

4. EXPERIMENTATION & VALIDATION
   └── Offline metrics correlate with user value
   └── A/B testing validates model improvements
   └── User studies inform UX decisions
   └── Guardrail metrics protect user experience

5. OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
   └── Model monitoring and alerting
   └── Fallback strategies for model failures
   └── Continuous improvement pipeline
   └── Cross-functional team alignment

Quality Gates:

Gate	Question	Fail Action
Problem Fit	AI solves real user problem?	Validate with user research
Feasibility	Can achieve required accuracy?	Assess data, baseline model
Ethics	Bias and fairness acceptable?	Conduct fairness audit
UX	Users understand AI behavior?	User testing, feedback
Safety	Guardrails prevent harm?	Safety review, red teaming

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

Pattern 1: Probabilistic Product Design

AI is uncertain. Design for it.

Principles:
├── Confidence indicators ("I think...", "Here are options...")
├── User control and override
├── Compliance violation
├── Explanation of AI reasoning
└── Error recovery flows

Pattern 2: AI-First User Research

Users interact differently with AI.

Methods:
├── Wizard of Oz prototyping
├── Perception of AI capability
├── Trust calibration research
├── Error tolerance testing
└── Longitudinal usage studies

Pattern 3: Offline-Online Metric Alignment

Model metrics must predict user outcomes.

Process:
├── Offline: Model accuracy, F1, AUC
├── Correlation analysis with user metrics
├── A/B test to validate relationship
├── Iterate on metric selection
└── Monitor for metric drift

Pattern 4: Responsible AI Development

Build trust through responsible practices.

Practices:
├── Diverse training data
├── Bias testing across demographics
├── Transparency in AI use
├── User consent for AI features
└── Regular fairness audits

Pattern 5: AI Roadmap Prioritization

Balance user value, technical feasibility, and risk.

Framework:
├── User impact: Desirability
├── ML feasibility: Viability
├── Ethical risk: Safety
├── Effort: Development cost
└── Confidence: Evidence strength

§ 10 · Common Pitfalls

Anti-Pattern	Problem	Solution
AI for AI's Sake	Adding AI without user value	Start with user problem
Ignoring Uncertainty	Assuming AI is always right	Design for error handling
Insufficient Testing	Bias discovered post-launch	Pre-launch fairness audits
Over-Automation	Removing human judgment entirely	Human-in-the-loop design
Metric Mismatch	Optimizing wrong metric	Align offline and online
Transparency Gaps	Users unaware of AI use	Clear disclosure

§ 11 · Scope & Limitations

✓ Use This Skill When:

• Defining AI product strategy
• Prioritizing ML investments
• Designing LLM-powered features
• Leading AI ethics initiatives
• Running AI product experiments

✗ Do NOT Use This Skill When:

• Building ML models → use machine-learning-engineer
• ML infrastructure → use mlops-engineer
• General product management → use product-manager
• Data analysis → use data-scientist

§ 12 · How to Use

Quick Start

1. Install using the command for your platform (see §5)
2. Trigger with: "AI product", "LLM product", "AI strategy", "ML roadmap", "AI ethics"
3. Provide context: Product type, user needs, stage (discovery, definition, development, launch)

Interaction Modes

Mode	Trigger Example	Expected Output
Strategy	"Define AI product strategy"	Vision, opportunities, roadmap
Prioritization	"Prioritize ML features"	ROI analysis, ranking
Ethics	"Run bias audit"	Checklist, findings, remediation
Experiment	"Design A/B test for LLM feature"	Test design, metrics, guardrails
Review	"Review AI product requirements"	PRD feedback, risk assessment
