Product & Planning Agent Skills

Use to analyse a support backlog and find the conversations actually at risk — never-touched tickets, work stalled on your side, customers stranded with a bot, and unassigned open work. Trigger for "report on our open tickets", "daily outstanding tickets report", "how many tickets have we not responded to", "find tickets waiting on us", "customers stuck with a bot and no human", aging backlog, or a backlog that keeps growing.

Talk to customers without leading them using Mom Test rules: discuss their life not your idea, ask about specifics in the past, and talk less. Use when the user mentions "customer interviews", "validate my idea", "users say they want it but dont buy", "leading questions", "The Mom Test", "customer feedback bias", or "interview script". Also trigger when preparing user research questions, interpreting ambiguous customer feedback, or designing customer discovery processes that avoid false positives. Covers commitment and advancement, avoiding compliments, and extracting signal from noise. For product-market fit, see jobs-to-be-done. For rapid prototype testing, see design-sprint.

Discover trending, anticipated, and popular movies and TV shows via the Trakt.tv API from the terminal. No authentication required for read-only discovery. Use when the user asks about what to watch, trending movies, popular shows, or media discovery.

Use when asked to fix, build, refactor, review, verify, or release software and the work is non-trivial — including delivering a change request (issue, ticket, or request) from intake through planning, gates, implementation, review, verified PR, and authorized post-merge release. neckbeard routes the change through framing, discovery, design, implementation, review, verification, delivery, and learning — choosing the smallest *safe* intervention, proving it at the real delivery boundary, and leaving an inspectable evidence ledger. For change-request / issue-to-PR work, conditionally loads a 9-phase journey with gates, delivery packet, and lifecycle integration. Composes specialist catalog skills rather than replacing them. Not a persona, not a '10x developer' prompt, not a LOC-minimizer. The journey is not loaded for plain fixes, refactors, or reviews that lack an issue/ticket trajectory.

Run a structured 5-day process to prototype, test, and validate product ideas with real users. Use when the user mentions "design sprint", "validate in a week", "rapid prototype", "test with users", "de-risk before building", "GV sprint", "prototype testing", or "design workshop". Also trigger when a team needs to make a critical product decision quickly, resolve stakeholder disagreements, or test risky ideas before investing in development. Covers mapping, sketching, deciding, prototyping, and testing. For ongoing experimentation, see lean-startup. For customer job analysis, see jobs-to-be-done.

Build empowered product teams using discovery and delivery dual-track. Use when the user mentions "product discovery", "empowered teams", "feature factory", "product roadmap", "opportunity assessment", "product vision", "product-led growth", or "discovery vs delivery". Also trigger when restructuring product teams away from output-driven models, setting product strategy, or defining what to build next based on outcomes. Covers product discovery techniques, team structure, and continuous value delivery. For customer interviews, see mom-test. For ongoing discovery systems, see continuous-discovery.

Create product backlog items in Why-What-Acceptance format — independent, valuable, testable items with strategic context. Use when writing structured backlog items, breaking features into work items, or using the WWA format.

Create a Product Requirements Document using a comprehensive 8-section template covering problem, objectives, segments, value propositions, solution, and release planning. Use when writing a PRD, documenting product requirements, preparing a feature spec, or reviewing an existing PRD.

Run a pre-mortem risk analysis on a PRD or launch plan. Categorizes risks as Tigers (real problems), Paper Tigers (overblown concerns), and Elephants (unspoken worries), then classifies as launch-blocking, fast-follow, or track. Use when preparing for launch, stress-testing a product plan, or identifying what could go wrong.

Create job stories using the 'When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]' format with detailed acceptance criteria. Use when writing job stories, creating JTBD-style backlog items, or expressing user situations and motivations.

Create user stories following the 3 C's (Card, Conversation, Confirmation) and INVEST criteria with descriptions, design links, and acceptance criteria. Use when writing user stories, breaking down features into backlog items, or defining acceptance criteria.

Transform an output-focused roadmap into an outcome-focused one that communicates strategic intent. Rewrites initiatives as outcome statements reflecting user and business impacts. Use when shifting to outcome roadmaps, making a roadmap more strategic, or rewriting feature lists as outcomes.

Workflow 1: Full idea discovery pipeline. Orchestrates research-lit → idea-creator → novelty-check → research-review to go from a broad research direction to validated, pilot-tested ideas. Use when user says "找idea全流程", "idea discovery pipeline", "从零开始找方向", or wants the complete idea exploration workflow.

Use when the user asks to run a full empirical / causal analysis in Python — by default in the style of an applied economics paper (AER / QJE / JPE / ReStud / AEJ) with DID / RD / IV / SCM / DML / matching, written-out estimating equation + identifying assumption, Table 1 / Table 2 / event-study figure / robustness gauntlet — OR in epidemiology / public health style (target-trial emulation, IPTW + g-formula + TMLE triplet, Mendelian randomization, KM/AFT survival, E-value sensitivity, STROBE/TRIPOD reporting) — OR in ML causal inference style (DML, S/T/X/R/DR meta-learners, causal forest, Dragonnet/TARNet/CEVAE, BCF, CATE distribution, policy learning, conformal causal, fairness audit, causal discovery) — OR in distributional / gap-decomposition style (Oaxaca–Blinder `sp.oaxaca`, Kitagawa `sp.kitagawa_decompose`, DiNardo–Fortin–Lemieux `sp.dfl_decompose`, Gelbach `sp.gelbach`, Fairlie `sp.fairlie`, RIF / FFL `sp.rif_decomposition`, all reachable through the `sp.decompose` dispatcher). Also covers exporting mu

Turn a refined research proposal or method idea into a detailed, claim-driven experiment roadmap. Use after `research-refine`, or when the user asks for a detailed experiment plan, ablation matrix, evaluation protocol, run order, compute budget, or paper-ready validation that supports the core problem, novelty, simplicity, and any LLM / VLM / Diffusion / RL-based contribution.

Full research pipeline: Workflow 1 (idea discovery) → implementation → Workflow 2 (auto review loop). Goes from a broad research direction all the way to a submission-ready paper. Use when user says "全流程", "full pipeline", "从找idea到投稿", "end-to-end research", or wants the complete autonomous research lifecycle.

Turn the current conversation into a PRD and publish it to the project issue tracker — no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed.

Five-phase pipeline (triage → clarify → research → PRD → plan) that turns a raw idea into four linked files: clarifying questions, deep research, a PRD with non-goals and metrics, and a phased execution plan with mermaid user journey and kill criteria.

Guides users through downloading weather/climate data via Earth2Studio data source APIs, verifying variable support via the lexicon system, and generating a working Python fetch script.

Transforms a raw product idea into four planning files: clarifying questions, deep research, a PRD with non-goals and metrics, and a phased execution plan with kill criteria.

Runs a structured interview session to sharpen a plan or design through relentless questioning.

Simulates Steve Jobs — co-founder of Apple, CEO of Pixar, and founder of NeXT — providing deep psychological and strategic simulation of his thinking, design philosophy, and presentation style.

Design SDKs with APIs that feel native, error messages that guide, and experiences that reduce friction to drive adoption through exceptional developer experience.

Analyzes development requirements and generates structured acceptance criteria for AEM Edge Delivery Services tasks, including task breakdowns and edge case identification.

Build and scale developer-led adoption through ecosystem programs, community, and partnerships, focusing on what drives adoption.

Ranks any list of impediments and their countermeasures using a value-stream scoring model (ROI, Cost to Implement, Ease of Deployment, Risk Factor) and a fixed prioritization formula.

Choose pricing models, set freemium thresholds, and structure enterprise pricing conversations for technical products.

Creates GitHub Issues for unimplemented requirements from specification files, checking the codebase and existing issues to avoid duplicates.

Interprets Culture Index survey data, behavioral profiles, and personality assessments from JSON or PDF. Supports individual profile interpretation, team composition analysis, burnout detection, hiring profiles, manager coaching, interview transcript analysis, and conflict mediation.

Build a minimum viable product using the minimalist entrepreneur approach: manual first, then processized, then productized.

Helps identify and evaluate communities to build a minimalist business around, based on the philosophy of The Minimalist Entrepreneur.

Craft clear, empathetic end-of-life announcements for products, features, or plans, including rationale, customer impact, and transition support.

Frame an epic as a testable hypothesis with target user, expected outcome, and validation method. Use when defining a major initiative before roadmap, discovery, or delivery planning.

Visualize the user journey by creating a hierarchical map of activities, steps, and tasks to build shared understanding and prioritize features.

Create a Geoffrey Moore-style positioning statement to clarify target customers, unmet needs, product category, and differentiation from alternatives.

Choose a prioritization framework based on product stage, team context, and stakeholder needs.
