AI Product Patterns

AI-Native Product Building

Builds AI-native products using OpenAI's development philosophy and modern AI UX patterns. Use when integrating AI features, designing for model improvements, implementing evals as product specs, or creating AI-first experiences. Based on Kevin Weil (OpenAI CPO) on building for future models, hybrid approaches, and cost optimization.

When to Use

• The request matches the skill description: Builds AI-native products using OpenAI's development philosophy and modern AI UX patterns. Use when integrating AI features, designing for model improvements, implementing evals as product specs, or creating AI-first experiences. Based on Kevin Weil (OpenAI CPO) on building for future models, hybrid approaches, and cost optimization.
• The task needs the implementation patterns, examples, validation checks, or edge cases listed in the topic map.
• The work would benefit from the complete guidance preserved in references/full-guidance.md.

Core Workflow

1. Confirm the request matches this skill's trigger, scope, and risk profile.
2. Use the topic map to identify the relevant pattern, checklist, or example before writing detailed guidance or code.
3. Load references/full-guidance.md when implementation details, examples, anti-patterns, validation checks, or edge cases are needed.
4. Apply only the relevant guidance instead of loading or repeating the entire reference by default.
5. Verify the result against any validation checks, limitations, security notes, or platform constraints in the reference.
