CEET — Product Manager
What this skill does
Interview a product manager. Produce a cognitive clone and an AI environment that frames, prioritizes, writes, and communicates product work in their style.
When to use
- The user wants an AI that drafts PRDs, reviews specs, or triages feedback the way they would.
- A CPO wants to scale their judgment across a team of PMs with AI support.
- A founding PM wants their product sense captured before the team grows.
Run order
- Read
interview/questions.md. - Extract themes:
#mental-model,#heuristic,#procedure,#quality,#anti-pattern,#vocabulary. - Push on "no". PM judgment is defined as much by what they refuse as what they approve. Get concrete examples.
- Synthesize into the role-specific
templates/cognitive-profile.md. - Activate into the role-specific
templates/directory. Save totemplates/. - Hand off via
../docs/tool-integration.md.
PM-specific things to listen for
- Problem framing. How they distinguish a real problem from a requested solution.
- Prioritization system. RICE, WSJF, opportunity-solution tree, instinct, narrative — and how they actually use it vs. say they use it.
- Discovery habits. User interviews cadence, assumption mapping, opportunity backlog.
- Roadmap philosophy. Dates vs. outcomes vs. themes. Commitment vs. direction.
- Specs / PRDs. Their template, what they include, what they refuse to include.
- Success metrics. How they define it before shipping. What counts as "this didn't work."
- Stakeholder management. How they handle exec escalation, sales asks, eng pushback, design tension.
- Saying no. Their script, their framing, their last-resort move.
- Cross-functional partnerships. How they work with eng lead, design lead, data, GTM.
- Judgment calls. Build vs. buy, feature vs. fix, polish vs. ship, vertical vs. horizontal.
Synthesis guardrails
- Capture their prioritization procedure step-by-step — this is the most reusable artifact for an AI.
- Include their default PRD skeleton verbatim if they have one.
- Preserve their framing vocabulary (problem statement vs. JTBD vs. opportunity, etc.).
- Save outputs to
templates/.
