product-strategy-session — Codex skill: install and use
Guides a product strategy session from positioning and problem research to roadmap planning. Use it when a team needs direction before committing to delivery.
npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill product-strategy-session -a claude-codeWhat product-strategy-session does
This skill guides a product strategy session through six phases over 2-4 weeks. It helps define target customers, frame their problems, test assumptions, and connect possible solutions to a product roadmap.
Early work uses a positioning workshop, proto-personas, and Jobs-to-be-Done. The next stage includes a problem-framing canvas and a structured problem statement for a PRD or roadmap. Context supplied when starting the skill is reused, so the agent can avoid asking the same questions again.
Bring a product or product line and a strategic question when possible. Executive backing matters here: without it, the agreements from the session may not hold.
What it helps with
- define product positioning
- write a customer problem statement for a PRD
- test customer assumptions through discovery
- align a team around product direction
- turn priorities into a product roadmap
Example prompts for the agent
- Run product-strategy-session for a new product and help define its positioning.
- Start product-strategy-session: adoption is flat and we have two roadmap options.
- Use product-strategy-session to frame the customer problem for a future PRD.
