Discovery: interviews and synthesisshared with BA

What you do

Write the interview script and recruit
Summarize each transcript against one template
Find patterns across interviews with supporting quotes
Update the opportunity tree

DeliverablePer-interview summaries, cross-interview pattern report, opportunity solution tree

Stays with youThe interviews themselves, and a first human pass at synthesis before comparing with the agent's. Practitioners who ship this loop have the agent transcribe and template, then diff.

HealthcarePatient and clinician transcripts carry PHI. De-identify before synthesis and keep transcripts in a BAA-covered environment; a consumer chat app is not one.

Fintech and paymentsKeep account numbers and identity data out of transcripts you paste into an agent; recruit within your compliance team's rules on incentives.

Consumer appsApp store reviews are a second interview stream. The aso-skills package mines them; feed the themes into the same synthesis.

Skills that do it

Problem framing and validationshared with BA

What you do

Name the weakest assumption and the missing buyer
Write the problem statement and hypothesis
Decide build, pivot, or kill before scoping

DeliverableOne-page problem statement with a verdict and the assumptions to test first

Stays with youThe judgment call. Skills here are built to argue with you, not to agree; use them as the red team.

Market and competitor researchshared with BA, DA

What you do

Build and refresh the competitor matrix from pricing pages and app listings
Size the market top-down and bottom-up
Turn a research digest into a decision memo

DeliverableCompetitor matrix with sourced claims, market sizing with stated assumptions

Stays with youVerifying extracted prices and deciding which competitor moves matter. Parallel research agents burn tokens fast; five at once hits usage limits.

SaaS and B2B softwarePublic pricing pages change quietly; keep the matrix dated and store the source page next to each claim.

Skills that do it

Strategy, prioritization and OKRs

What you do

Draft or revise the product strategy and vision
Score the backlog (RICE, ICE, Kano) and sequence the roadmap
Write and grade OKRs
Red-team the strategy before the review

DeliverableStrategy doc, ranked backlog, quarter roadmap, OKR set

Stays with youThe roadmap itself and the taste behind it. PMs who use agents here keep authorship and delegate the critique.

“There has to be somebody who's bringing that intuition, the leadership, that judgment, the taste.”Shaun Clowes, Reforge (vendor) ↗

Skills that do it

Specification: PRD, user stories, acceptance criteriashared with BA

What you do

Write the PRD or product brief from the problem statement and interview evidence
Split into stories with acceptance criteria and edge cases
Prepare tickets engineers can start from

DeliverablePRD, story backlog with acceptance criteria, tickets

Stays with youReviewing every story before it is built. Agents miss microinteractions, edge cases and data-model nuance.

Fintech and paymentsThe PRD needs the regulatory sections up front: KYC tiering, AML monitoring hooks and SAR timing, PCI scope and tokenization, disclosure copy, and what happens on a failed check.

HealthcareState which regulations the intended use triggers (who the users are, what data, whether it influences clinical decisions, which integrations), and write HIPAA data flows and consent into the spec, not a later ticket.

SaaS and B2B softwareAdd an enterprise-readiness section: SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data residency, SOC 2 evidence; PLG specs tie activation to expansion.

E-commerce and retailSpecs carry tax, shipping, promo and returns rules explicitly; the checkout funnel is the spec's spine.

Games and live opsFeature specs are also economy specs: sinks, sources, and the live-ops event calendar the feature has to fit.

Skills that do it

Pricing and packaging

What you do

Compare pricing models and pick one
Design tiers, limits and the migration path for existing customers
Check unit economics and anchor against sourced competitor prices

DeliverablePricing proposal with tiers, anchors and a migration plan

Stays with youThe number. Skills produce the structure and the arguments; the price is a decision with your finance and sales partners.

Consumer appsPaywall and trial tests move faster than pricing pages; treat pricing as an experiment stream with guardrails on refunds and ratings.

Skills that do it

Metrics, data questions and experiment readoutsshared with DA, BA

What you do

Define the north star and the input metrics
Answer ad hoc metric questions with the SQL shown
Size an A/B test before it runs and read it honestly after

DeliverableMetrics tree, instrumentation spec, experiment brief and readout with a go or no-go

Stays with youChecking the assumptions the agent did not state. Sample ratio mismatch, guardrail metrics and the exposure unit are yours to confirm.

E-commerce and retailRead tests on revenue per visitor first, then decompose into conversion and order value; a 12% conversion lift with a 15% order-value drop is a loss.

Consumer appsStore-listing tests and in-app tests have different exposure units; never pool them. Watch D1, D7 and D30 curves, not one retention number.

Games and live opsLifetime value is the area under the retention curve times ARPDAU; read live-ops events as participation, ARPDAU delta, retention delta, then D30 impact.

Marketplaces and platformsCohort supply and demand separately; a test that lifts buyers can starve fill rate.

Skills that do it

Launch, go-to-market and communicationshared with DA, BA

What you do

Run the launch checklist
Write positioning and the release note in the house voice
Send the weekly update and the exec narrative

DeliverableLaunch plan, release notes, weekly update, positioning

Stays with youThe narrative and the tradeoff framing. The agent drafts from past notes and a style guide; the voice stays yours.

Retrospective and iteration

What you do

Keep the lessons log
Grade the OKRs and decide to persevere or pivot

DeliverableRetro notes, lessons log, pivot or persevere decision

What you do

Build persona agents from your own client records
Test a move against each segment
Compare directions side by side

DeliverableSegment-by-segment reaction and a ranked set of directions

Stays with youReading the spread between segments; the average is not the answer.
