agent-skills
A collection of AI agent skills — reusable workflows, protocols, and knowledge packs for agentic systems. Skills follow the Agent Skills open format, making them compatible with any agent framework that supports the standard.
The project is also where I codify practical patterns for making agents more capable, governable, observable, and trustworthy in real work — from evaluations and production operations to AI governance, operating economics, and multi-agent collaboration.

Covers metric trees (leading/lagging indicators, countermetrics, guardrails), event and tracking plans (identity, session, data quality, ownership), instrumentation QA, funnels, cohorts, retention, adoption, dashboard contracts, privacy-aware measurement, and decision cadence. Routes statistical inference to data-scientist and data pipelines to data-engineering.
product-design-and-ux
Turn validated evidence and approved product scope into traceable user-facing behavior: information architecture, plain-language content, task flows, applicable state and recovery models, interface contracts, authorized usability evidence, and observable engineering handoffs. Portable and framework-neutral; routes WCAG/ARIA depth to web-accessibility and formal software acceptance to spec-driven-development. Ships 10 focused references and 6 fillable templates.
product-discovery
Discover product requirements from human stakeholders — map who to talk to, ask questions that surface hidden assumptions, detect gaps in real time, resolve conflicts, and translate conversations into structured specs. Phase 0 upstream of any spec-driven pipeline. Ships 8 reference files covering stakeholder mapping, question patterns, gap detection, conflict resolution, transcript-to-spec distillation, AI-conducted discovery, power dynamics, and time-constrained discovery; plus 5 templates (discovery plan, interview guide, distillation worksheet, gap register, interpretation log).
product-experimentation
Run end-to-end product experiments from assumption to decision — translate assumptions into testable hypotheses, select the right method (qualitative interviews, prototypes, concierge tests, fake doors, feature flags, A/B tests), define guardrails and ethics, and produce readouts that update the roadmap and decision record. Ships 4 references (discovery brief, method selection, guardrails and ethics, experiment readout) and 4 fillable templates (assumption map, experiment brief, guardrail and decision rule record, readout learning entry). Routes statistical design to data-scientist and rollout mechanics to release-engineering.
product-lifecycle
Route a product through its full lifecycle — discovery, strategy and portfolio choice, roadmap, UX and requirements, experimentation, delivery handoff, adoption, success, and lifecycle review — by composing existing specialist product skills with phase-entry evidence, handoff artifacts, and stop/escalation rules. A thin orchestration bundle that provides cross-skill routing and a lifecycle evidence ledger; never duplicates a specialist's methodology. Ships 2 references (phases with per-phase contracts and ledger spec, capability map), a discovery brief, an AGENTS.md loading guide, and 6 evals covering complete lifecycle trajectories, stopped/escalated paths, and evidence handoffs. Does not assume B2B SaaS; customer-success routing is conditional on product type.
product-lifecycle-learning
Close the launch-to-learning loop for product features and capabilities — compare expected vs. observed outcomes using explicit epistemic categories (expected/observed/uncertain/inferred), update the assumption ledger, assess feature health across multiple dimensions, and make disciplined continue/improve/harvest/pivot/pause/retire decisions. Covers full retirement lifecycles with deprecation communication, migration paths, customer treatment during sunset, and internal cleanup. Produces durable retained learning records that feed back into roadmap, analytics, adoption, experimentation, and specifications. Ships 4 references (discovery brief, epistemic discipline, retirement lifecycle, feedback destinations) and 6 templates (outcome review, assumption ledger update, feature health record, retirement decision, sunset plan, retained learning record).
product-methodology
Product management frameworks for translating validated evidence into prioritized backlogs, documented decisions, specifications, and stakeholder communications. Covers RICE scoring, MoSCoW prioritization, opportunity solution trees, decision logs, spec drafting, and audience-specific stakeholder communication. Ships 7 reference files covering each framework and a source index, plus 2 fillable templates (decision log and spec). Picks up where product-discovery ends.
product-operations-and-governance
Define and run product governance — recurring decision rights, intake, portfolio cadences, evidence standards, and cross-functional operating contracts. Covers six review cadences (intake/opportunity, portfolio, roadmap, experiment, launch, lifecycle/health) with named accountable owners, minimum evidence standards per decision type, and escalation paths. Supports lightweight mode (small teams, minimal ceremony) and high-assurance mode (regulated/safety-critical) with configurable governance patterns. Distinguishes product governance from executive governance (routes to chief-of-staff-methodology, strategy-frameworks) and technical delivery gates (routes to release-engineering, spec-driven-development). Ships 1 reference (discovery brief), 5 fillable templates (operating model, decision-rights map, review cadence, exception record, escalation record), and 6 evals.
product-roadmapping-and-portfolio
Build and maintain outcome-based product roadmaps and portfolio views that sequence strategic bets by evidence, not dates. Covers Now/Next/Later views, strategic-bet management with continue/pause/kill/revisit criteria, capacity allocation, dependency and confidence mapping, scenario planning, stakeholder narratives, and roadmap review cadences. Routes tactical prioritization (RICE, MoSCoW, Kano, OST) to their canonical owners. Ships 5 reference files, 3 fillable templates, a discovery brief, and 5 evals.
product-shaping
Set appetites instead of estimates and shape raw ideas into bounded pitches before committing time: Basecamp's Shape Up method adapted for teams whose builders include AI agents. Covers appetite-setting, problem narrowing (grab-bag detection), breadboard/fat-marker solution sketching including non-UI work, five-ingredient pitches, betting with circuit breakers, discovered scopes with hill-state tracking, scope hammering, and hybrid-adaptation practices — budget currencies, batched steering, verification cost inside scope, and kill criteria for non-converging agent loops. Ships 6 reference files (including an independent-evidence anti-patterns record), 2 fillable templates (pitch, scope map), and 6 evals. Upstream of product-methodology; consumes validated problems from product-discovery.
product-strategy
CPO methodology — product vision and strategy (North Star, product principles), competitive analysis and positioning, roadmap prioritization (RICE, Kano, OST), product-market fit frameworks (Sean Ellis test, retention curves), market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), platform strategy, product lifecycle management.
