This skill coaches a spoken response to an open-ended product question. It starts with scope and assumptions, then works through the reason for the problem, a user goal, a chosen segment, and a priority pain point. It finishes by comparing solution directions and defining an MVP.
Bring an interview prompt. You can also provide company, role, and answer duration; details included in the request are used rather than asked again. The working outline is in template.md.
The result is meant to sound conversational instead of rehearsed. It is a poor fit for STAR behavioural interviews, metric-diagnosis cases, or pricing and distribution questions because those call for a different reasoning structure.
What it helps with
- frame an ambiguous product prompt
- state assumptions before proposing features
- select a primary user pain point
- define MVP scope and exclusions
- practise a coherent spoken case answer
