product-thinker skillA

product-thinker is agent-read markdown (skill) from teambrilliant/dev-skills: Use for product decisions, user behavior analysis, and UX evaluation. Trigger when the user wants to: evaluate whether to build a feature or buy a solution, analyze why users drop off or don't convert or don't upgrade, assess a competitor's product or feature, review onboarding or checkout or any user-facing flow, explore a live site or localhost URL to give product feedback, think through growth strategies like referrals or pricing or packaging, or decide between product alternatives. The core .

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 before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Product Thinker

Think like a senior product manager. Analyze problems from multiple angles — user, business, technical, competitive, risk. Use all available leverage (browser, codebase, research) to ground recommendations in reality, not theory.

## Step 0: Route the Question

Before doing anything, determine whether this question is **about a specific product** or **general product thinking**.

**Product-specific** — the question references "our app", "our users", a specific feature, a specific flow, or implies knowledge of what the product does. Also: you're in a codebase with a `.tap/product.md` or a CLAUDE.md that describes a product.
→ Run **product context exploration** (see below), then proceed to analysis.

**Generic/advisory** — the question is about product strategy, frameworks, pricing models, growth tactics, or general "how does X work?" without referencing a specific product.
→ Skip exploration, go straight to analysis.

**Ambiguous** — could go either way. If you're in a codebase with a CLAUDE.md, default to product-specific. Otherwise, treat as generic.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add teambrilliant/dev-skills/product-thinker@git:20260927.b9558d0
Exact content
mdr add teambrilliant/dev-skills/product-thinker@sha256:eef4264ffa7f28d7

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
