What's on the bench.
Tool Design Sprint Test And Score
Day 5 (Friday) sprint-closing move of a Design Sprint that produces the bundled Friday artifact covering per-customer interview observations, best quotes, scorecard grid (sprint questions by customers), observed patterns, hot takes from each team member, and the Decider summary (build, iterate, pivot, or stop, plus highest-confidence learning, most important revision, and next artifact). Use Friday after Thursday's prototype passes trial run and during/after the 5 customer interviews. The sprint's payoff artifact.
Tool Design Sprint Sketch
Day 2 (Tuesday) move of a Design Sprint that structures lightning demos and the four-step independent solution sketch protocol (Notes, Ideas, Crazy 8s, Solution Sketch). Each team member produces one solution sketch individually; the skill orchestrates the day but does not author the sketches themselves. Use Tuesday morning after Monday's target moment is locked. Output is the lightning demo board, sketch assignments, and the cohort of independent sketches that become Wednesday's heat-map material.
Tool Design Sprint Readiness
Pre-sprint diagnostic that determines whether a team should run a Design Sprint now, postpone it, or do prerequisite work first. Produces a Go / Conditional Go / Wait verdict with diagnosis, recommended preconditions, attendee list, customer recruiting plan, and pre-sprint activities. Use when a team is considering starting a Design Sprint and wants a fast yes/no diagnosis before committing five days of team time and customer recruiting cost.
Tool Design Sprint Prototype Plan
Day 4 (Thursday) move of a Design Sprint that produces the planning artifact for the day. Output covers the prototype role plan (Maker, Stitcher, Writer, Asset Collector, Interviewer), prototype brief (what to build, fidelity bar, time allocation per role), canonical Five-Act Interview script (Welcome, Context, Intro, Tasks, Debrief), trial-run checklist, and Friday participant confirmation tracker. The actual prototype build is craft work outside the skill's AI invocation surface. Use Thursday morning after Wednesday's storyboard is signed off.
Tool Design Sprint Map And Target
Day 1 (Monday) move of a Design Sprint that produces the bundled Monday artifact containing long-term goal, sprint questions (3-7 testable risks), customer or system map (5-15 step flow), expert interview notes, HMW (How Might We) cluster board, and the Decider's chosen target moment. Use Day 1 morning and afternoon after the sprint brief is locked. Sets the design target for Tuesday's sketches and Wednesday's storyboard.
Tool Design Sprint Decide And Storyboard
Day 3 (Wednesday) move of a Design Sprint that runs the art museum layout, heat map, speed critique, straw poll, Decider supervote, rumble-vs-all-in-one decision, and the storyboard that drives Thursday's prototype build. The most decision-heavy day of the sprint. Use Wednesday morning and afternoon after Tuesday's sketches are collected and attribution-stripped. Produces the canonical 5-15 step storyboard that becomes the build spec.
Tool Design Sprint Brief
Pre-sprint brief that locks challenge, sprint questions, team and role assignments, customer recruiting plan, prototype medium, interview format, logistics, and success criteria before Monday of a Design Sprint. Use after the readiness verdict is Go and before Monday begins. Produces a two-page artifact the team and Decider sign off on as the contract for the next five days.
Measure Survey Analysis
Analyze survey results into actionable PM insights. Produces persona segmentation, hypothesis validation status, thematic clustering of open-text responses, statistical confidence labels, prioritized recommendations, and what-NOT-to-conclude warnings. Refuses to overstate statistical significance from weak samples or biased instruments.
Measure Instrumentation Spec
Specifies event tracking and analytics instrumentation requirements for a feature. Use when defining what data to collect, ensuring consistent tracking implementation, or documenting analytics requirements for engineering.
Measure Experiment Results
Documents the results of a completed experiment or A/B test with statistical analysis, learnings, and recommendations. Use after experiments conclude to communicate findings, inform decisions, and build organizational knowledge.
Measure Experiment Design
Designs an A/B test or experiment with variants, success metrics, sample size, and duration for an existing hypothesis. Use when planning an experiment to validate a product change or test an assumption you have already framed. To articulate the hypothesis itself first, use define-hypothesis.
Measure Dashboard Requirements
Specifies requirements for an analytics dashboard including metrics, visualizations, filters, and data sources. Use when requesting dashboards from data teams, defining KPI tracking, or documenting reporting needs.
Iterate Retrospective
Facilitates and documents a team retrospective capturing what went well, what to improve, and action items. Use at the end of a sprint, project, or milestone to reflect and improve team practices. To bank individual learnings into organizational memory afterward, use iterate-lessons-log.
Iterate Refinement Notes
Documents backlog refinement session outcomes including stories refined, estimates, questions raised, and decisions made. Use during or after refinement to capture the results and share with absent team members.
Iterate Pivot Decision
Documents a strategic pivot or persevere decision with the evidence, analysis, and rationale. Use when evaluating whether to change direction on a product, feature, or strategy based on market feedback.
Iterate Lessons Log
Creates a structured lessons learned entry for organizational memory. Use after an incident, a completed project, or a significant learning to record knowledge for future teams and initiatives. Distinct from iterate-retrospective, which facilitates the team ceremony; this skill writes the durable lessons entry that outlives it.
Foundation Prioritized Action Plan
Produce a comprehensive, evidence-grounded prioritized action plan from any PM input (notes, transcripts, drafts, executive asks, Slack threads, or a raw situation). Outputs one saveable document with an executive summary, input mirror, situation classification (Cynefin), the binding constraint (Theory of Constraints), prioritized questions and open decisions, a ranked action plan with the critical effort plus follow-ons, risks and pre-mortem, copy/paste prompts for downstream pm-skills, and an evidence map. Builds a source ledger and cites exact input quotes; refuses High-confidence plans for Complex or Chaotic situations. Use when you want the critical next effort and how to execute it.
Foundation Okr Writer
Drafts, reviews, rewrites, and coaches outcome-based OKR sets across team, department, product, or company scopes. Supports five entry modes (Guided default, One-Shot via --oneshot, Sustained Coach, Audit Only, Rewrite). Diagnoses empowered-team context and adjusts framing; refuses to fabricate baselines or targets; refuses to use OKR scores for compensation; reframes feature-delivery KRs into outcome KRs. Use when planning quarterly OKRs, translating strategy into team outcomes, reviewing draft OKRs for quality, or converting roadmap-as-OKR drafts into proper OKR sets.
Foundation Lean Canvas
Produces a one-page lean canvas across nine interlocking blocks (problem, customer, UVP, solution, channels, revenue, cost, metrics, unfair advantage) with optional inline HTML and SVG visual rendering. Use when framing a new product thesis, stress-testing an existing strategy, comparing strategic options side-by-side, or aligning a team on business-model assumptions. Works as a strategic hub that cross-links to deeper PM skills without duplicating them.
Discover Stakeholder Summary
Documents stakeholder needs, concerns, and influence for a project or initiative. Use when starting projects, managing complex stakeholder relationships, or ensuring alignment across organizational boundaries.
Discover Market Sizing
Estimate market opportunity (TAM, SAM, SOM) using multiple sizing frameworks (top-down, bottom-up, comparable company, analogous market). Triangulates across frameworks, highlights where they converge and diverge as signal, and produces a calibrated range with source-graded confidence labels. Refuses unbounded fabrications; always offers a labeled lower-confidence path when data is thin. Used for investment cases, go/no-go decisions, and stakeholder pitches.
Discover Journey Map
Produce a customer journey map covering stages, touchpoints, emotional curve, pain points, moments of truth, and opportunity annotations. Output is a markdown artifact that may include mermaid timeline / flowchart visualization. Supports both linear journey (start to end) and cyclical journey (recurring engagement loops). Refuses to fabricate emotional or behavioral data without research input.
Discover Interview Synthesis
Synthesizes user research interviews into actionable insights, patterns, and recommendations. Use after conducting user interviews, customer calls, or usability sessions to extract and communicate findings across participants. Distinct from foundation-meeting-recap, which summarizes one internal meeting for its attendees; this skill aggregates research conversations into evidence-backed findings.
Discover Competitive Analysis
Creates a structured competitive analysis comparing features, positioning, and strategy across competitors. Use when entering a market, planning differentiation, or understanding the competitive landscape.
