v1.3.0 25 skills Claude Code Plugin AI-Native PM

Lean PM Skills

AI-native product management skills for Claude Code — designed from the ground up for how PM actually works when AI is part of the team. Spend less time on artifacts and more time with stakeholders, users, and the decisions that shape what gets built.

The philosophy: You already know lean — eliminate waste, move fast, validate early. We just gave it an AI engine. Every skill is designed for hours and days, not weeks and months. AI handles the first 80%. You handle the last 20% — the 20% that determines whether the product succeeds.

What this project is not: A rehash of traditional PM playbooks with an AI label. Only skills optimized for AI-native speed belong here. If a framework assumes weeks of manual synthesis or months of waterfall planning, it doesn't belong in this project.

When Would I Use This?

"We need to validate whether this problem is worth solving."

Run a compressed 5-day discovery cycle instead of 3-8 weeks. Frame the problem, synthesize research, interview users, map opportunities, and reach a build/validate/kill decision.

"Stakeholders disagree and I need a decision by Friday."

Build a stakeholder map, draft a decision-forcing document, pre-empt objections, and produce a decision memo in a single focused session.

"We think this will work, but I want to test before we commit."

Map your riskiest assumptions, design the cheapest valid experiment, set ship/iterate/kill criteria, and make the call when data comes in.

"Leadership wants to know what we're building and why."

Translate your strategy and OKRs into a sequenced roadmap with three audience-specific views — team, leadership, and stakeholder.

"A competitor just launched something — what do we do?"

Assess the competitive move, evaluate response options, draft sales talking points, and prepare a leadership brief in 2-4 hours.

"Churn went up and nobody can tell me why."

Run a structured diagnostic with cohort analysis, root cause identification, and a prioritized retention intervention plan in half a day.

"This epic is too big — where do we even start?"

Decompose it into independently shippable slices using splitting patterns. Each slice has clear acceptance criteria and delivers user value on its own.

"Leadership wants ROI numbers before greenlighting this initiative."

Build a financial model with NPV, IRR, payback period, and sensitivity analysis. Package it into a complete business case with strategic rationale and risk assessment.
