What it does
The set gives the agent product methodology gathered from Lenny Rachitsky's podcast and newsletter. Skills are grouped by the stages a product team runs: strategy and positioning, planning and prioritization, discovery and research, building and shipping, launch and go-to-market, growth and retention, team and communication. There are separate playbooks for marketplaces, AI products, the zero to one stage, PLG and enterprise, plus a career track. Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and a references file holding named frameworks, checklists and templates, plus a set of guest quotes verified against their sources. Skills install by copying the folders you need into the project's .claude/skills directory.
Who it is for. For product managers, product leaders and founders who work on their product together with an agent.
Good fit when
- You need structure and frameworks for product strategy, discovery or launch
- You need to prepare material on growth, hiring or executive communication
- You need templates and checklists for a specific product task
Not a fit when
- You need a tool that runs code or calls services rather than methodology
- Your work is unrelated to product and product frameworks do not fit

--- name: defining-product-strategy description: Help users move beyond ambitious goal-setting to create a rigorous diagnosis of challenges and a clear, actionable plan for winning in their specific market. --- # Defining Product Strategy Transform vision into a concrete plan of action by making hard choices that drive customer behavior. Help the user with defining product strategy using insights from 27 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter. ## How to Help 1. **Diagnose the crux** - Help the user identify the primary obstacle or high-stakes challenge that is currently holding the product back. 2. **Guide the choice cascade** - Walk the user through defining where they will compete and how they will uniquely win in that space. 3. **Structure the narrative** - Assist in distilling complex directions into a simple 'why' and a set of memorable strategic pillars. 4. **Stress-test the plan** - Use AI or external critiques to identify blind spots, common consensus thinking, or lack of defensibility. ## Core Principles ### Distill to a simple 'why' Anneka Gupta: "When people say, 'I want someone that's strategic,' what they're really saying is, 'I want someone that can come up with and articulate a compelling and simple why behind the decisions and the direction of the company and product.'" ### Strategy as an integrated set of choices Annie Pearl: "Strategy is really just an integrated set of choices that outline how you're going to win in whatever marketplace you choose."
