# Advanced Product Management Skills for AI Agents

A collection of AI agent skills inspired from the guests on Lenny's Podcast.

## Purpose

This project generates reusable [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) that capture product management wisdom, frameworks, and methodologies shared by industry experts.

Each skill transforms podcast insights into actionable, on-demand guidance for AI agents helping with product decisions, strategy, and execution.

## What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are an [open format](https://agentskills.io/) for extending AI agent capabilities. They package:

- **Instructions** - Workflows, best practices, and domain-specific guidance
- **Resources** - Reference materials, templates, and examples
- **Scripts** - Executable utilities for deterministic operations

Skills load on-demand when relevant to a task, enabling agents to act as specialists without consuming context upfront.

## Installation

Install skills using [add-skill](https://github.com/vercel-labs/add-skill):

```bash
# Install all skills
npx add-skill wdavidturner/product-skills

# List available skills
npx add-skill wdavidturner/product-skills --list

# Install a specific skill
npx add-skill wdavidturner/product-skills --skill jobs-to-be-done

# Install globally (available across all projects)
npx add-skill wdavidturner/product-skills --global
```

## Skill Structure

Each skill follows this format:

```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md          # Framework overview + patterns index
├── patterns/         # Bad/good examples for each concept
│   ├── _template.md  # Template for new patterns
│   └── *.md          # Individual pattern files
├── references/       # Optional supporting materials
└── scripts/          # Optional automation scripts
```

The `SKILL.md` file requires:

```yaml
---
name: Jobs to be Done (JTBD)
description: Use when asked to "understand why customers churn", "prep for customer interviews", or "figure out what to build". The Jobs to be Done framework (created by Clayton Christensen and Bob Moesta) reveals why customers "hire" and "fire" products.
---

# Jobs to be Done (JTBD)

## When to Use It
[Specific triggers]

## Patterns
[Index of bad/good examples organized by impact level]

## The Framework
[Core concepts, methodology, checklists]

## Resources
[Books, links]
```

**Key principle:** Skills teach through **patterns** — concrete bad/good examples showing how to apply the framework correctly. The SKILL.md provides overview; the patterns show application. Favor **progressive disclosure**: keep SKILL.md focused on the minimum needed to orient and index, and push tactical detail into patterns or references.

## Source Material

Skills in this repository are generated from transcripts of product management podcast episodes. The wisdom, frameworks, and methodologies captured here come from conversations with industry experts.

### Inspiration & Attribution

This project was inspired by [Lenny's Newsletter](https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/), a leading resource for product management, growth, and career advice created by Lenny Rachitsky. It's great, promise.

Transcripts were [shared publicly by Lenny](https://x.com/lennysan/status/2011243567340298651) for the community to explore and build upon.

**Related resources:**
- [Lenny's Product Pass](https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/productpass) — The Product Pass gives his subscribers access to a ton of valuable tools for product managers, many of which I've personally found super useful.
- [Lennybot](https://www.lennybot.com/) — An AI chatbot that answers questions based on the entire content of Lenny's Newsletter and podcast episodes. It provides interactive access to practical insights on product, growth, and careers.

### Topics Covered

The podcast episodes cover:
- Product strategy and roadmapping
- Growth and experimentation
- Team building and leadership
- User research and discovery
- Metrics and measurement
- Go-to-market strategies
