Product Thinking

Your agent will happily praise any idea. This one asks the questions a great product person would ask so you can bring back some friction into your work.

What this skill does

Twenty principles for deciding what to build, distilled from interviews with people that built great products and that I personally admire.

  • Interviews you one question at a time, each with an example of what a strong answer sounds like
  • Walks the idea through four phases: the reason to exist, what to build, how to test it, and how it wins
  • Pushes back on non-answers like “everyone” or “it’s better”
  • Ends with a verdict: the one good idea in a sentence, the chain of must-be-trues, the biggest risk, and what to build at full quality this month
