What it does

The library turns well-known product methods into skills that explain each framework's reasoning and failure modes to both the agent and the PM. It covers problem framing, positioning, stakeholder mapping, Mom Test interview prep, opportunity solution trees, choosing between RICE, ICE and Kano, epic splitting, user stories with Gherkin criteria and PRDs. Further sections handle SaaS metrics, competitive intelligence, TAM, SAM and SOM sizing, product end-of-life and career moves to Director and CPO. Skills come as references, interactive advisors that ask questions, and multi-step workflows.

Who it is for. For product managers, product leaders and founders who want the agent to follow proven methods.

## Purpose

Guide product managers through evaluating whether to scale, test, or kill an acquisition channel based on unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback), customer quality (retention, NRR), and scalability (magic number, volume potential). Use this to make data-driven go-to-market decisions and optimize channel mix for sustainable growth.

This is not a channel strategy framework—it's a financial lens for channel evaluation that helps you avoid scaling unprofitable channels or killing channels with fixable problems. Use when deciding how to allocate marketing budget across channels.

## Input

**Works best with:** The acquisition channel you're evaluating (e.g., paid search, outbound SDR, partner referrals).
**Also useful:** Any metrics you already have — CAC, LTV, payback period, retention/NRR by channel — plus company stage and the decision on the table (scale, test, or kill).
