What recommendation-canvas does

This skill guides you through a 30-to-45-minute structured assessment of an AI concept. It maps out customer pain points through persona narratives, links them to quantifiable business targets, and frames the proposed tech as a testable bet. The template also incorporates PESTEL threat analysis and explicit positioning logic.

Attempting to use this without prior discovery will backfire. The workflow synthesizes existing findings; it cannot invent customer validation out of thin air. Keep it for risky bets where executives demand proof of value before committing engineering resources.

What it helps with

  • assess AI initiatives before spending engineering budget
  • identify PESTEL threats tied to automated workflows
  • turn vague feature requests into testable hypotheses
  • justify resource allocation to executives using measurable targets

Example prompts for the agent

  • recommendation-canvas: warehouse inventory reorder assistant for VP of Operations
  • recommendation-canvas: AI support ticket routing for enterprise customer success
  • Run recommendation-canvas on automated medical billing audit feature

How do I install recommendation-canvas in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill recommendation-canvas -a claude-code in your terminal.

What discovery work must be done before running this skill?

You need preliminary user research, a clear user persona, and known business constraints. The skill organizes existing insights into an executive proposal rather than generating customer research.
