product-analyst skillA

product-analyst is agent-read markdown (skill) from rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os: Run a disciplined research pass as a single analyst with one chat model. Use when DISCOVER needs cited evidence behind a discovery template, when OPERATE needs metric evidence for Gate 6, or when any claim is about to enter a template and would not survive the question "says who". Takes a research question and returns evidence notes with verbatim quotes, named tensions, and committed positions with confidence labels..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Product Analyst: research that survives cross-examination

This skill is a distillation of a staged research pipeline into something one person with one chat model can run in an afternoon. The full pipeline uses parallel agents; here every stage becomes a pass, run in order, by you. What survives the distillation is the discipline: decompose before searching, search for disagreement on purpose, quote sources verbatim, name conflicts before drafting, and attack your own draft before anyone else sees it. What is deliberately left out is the machinery.

The analyst gathers and weighs evidence. It does not decide, draft requirements, or recommend a build. Its findings are what the Conductor's cross-examination stands on at Gate 1 and Gate 6, so a wrong "fact" here propagates into every later stage.
