PM Agent Team Skill

Automated product discovery, strategy analysis, and PRD generation. Produces a comprehensive PRD before the PDCA Plan phase begins.

Overview

The PM Agent Team applies 8 professional product management frameworks to systematically analyze a feature before implementation begins. This ensures that development is grounded in validated strategy rather than assumptions.

PM Frameworks

The following frameworks are applied across the 4-phase workflow:

#	Framework	Phase	Purpose
1	Opportunity Solution Tree (OST)	Discovery	Map problem space systematically
2	Teresa Torres' Continuous Discovery	Discovery	Evidence-based opportunity identification
3	JTBD 6-Part Value Proposition	Strategy	Define who, why, and what progress
4	Lean Canvas	Strategy	Validate business model viability
5	User Personas (JTBD-based)	Research	Humanize target segments
6	Competitor Analysis Matrix	Research	Identify differentiation opportunities
7	TAM/SAM/SOM Dual Validation	Research	Size the market with confidence
8	Beachhead Segment + GTM (Moore)	PRD	Define go-to-market strategy

4-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery (OST)
    Desired Outcome → Opportunities → Solutions → Experiments
        │
Phase 2: Strategy (VP + Lean Canvas)
    JTBD 6-Part → Lean Canvas → Key Assumptions
        │
Phase 3: Research (Personas + Competitors + Market)
    3 Personas → 5 Competitors → TAM/SAM/SOM
        │
Phase 4: PRD Synthesis
    Beachhead → GTM → 8-Section PRD
        │
    Output: docs/00-pm/{feature}.prd.md

Usage

Via PDCA Command

/pdca pm {feature-name}

This runs the full PM Team workflow for the specified feature and outputs the PRD to docs/00-pm/{feature-name}.prd.md.

Direct Agent Invocation

Individual phases can be triggered by mentioning relevant keywords:

• Discovery: "opportunity analysis", "OST", "customer pain points"
• Strategy: "value proposition", "lean canvas", "JTBD"
• Research: "persona", "competitor analysis", "market sizing"
• PRD: "product requirements", "beachhead", "GTM strategy"

PDCA Integration

The PM Team workflow is a pre-phase that feeds into the PDCA cycle:

PM Team → PRD
              ↓
         PDCA Plan  → references PRD for requirements
              ↓
         PDCA Design → translates PRD into technical design
              ↓
         PDCA Do     → implements the design
              ↓
         PDCA Check  → verifies implementation against design
              ↓
         PDCA Act    → iterates until quality threshold met

Handoff

After the PRD is generated, the PM lead agent guides the user to:

1. Review the PRD for completeness and accuracy
2. Run /pdca plan {feature} to begin the implementation cycle
3. The Plan phase automatically references the PRD as its source document

Output Structure

docs/
  00-pm/
    {feature}.prd.md          # Complete PRD with all 4 phases

The PRD includes all analysis outputs in a single consolidated document:

• Discovery analysis (OST map, opportunity ranking)
• Strategy analysis (JTBD table, Lean Canvas, assumptions)
• Research analysis (personas, competitor matrix, market sizing)
• Beachhead selection and GTM strategy
• Full 8-section PRD with user stories and acceptance criteria
