## When to use

- Writing a structured feature spec or PRD from a problem statement or feature idea
- Creating, updating, or reprioritizing a roadmap in Now/Next/Later, quarterly, or OKR formats
- Synthesizing interview notes, surveys, and tickets into themes, personas, and opportunity areas
- Generating a stakeholder update or competitive brief tailored to a specific audience

## Key concepts

### write-spec skill

PRD structure, user stories, requirements categorization, and acceptance criteria to turn a problem statement into a full spec.

### roadmap-update skill

Prioritization frameworks like RICE and MoSCoW, multiple roadmap formats, and dependency mapping for roadmap management.

### synthesize-research skill

Thematic analysis, affinity mapping, persona development, and opportunity sizing to turn raw research into evidence-backed insights.

### stakeholder-update skill

Update templates by audience (exec, engineering, customer), risk communication, and decision documentation, pulling context from connected tools.

### competitive-brief and metrics-review skills

competitive-brief builds feature comparison matrices, positioning, and win/loss analysis; metrics-review analyzes trends against targets with OKR-aligned tracking.

### product-brainstorming skill

A sparring-partner mode using frameworks like How Might We, Jobs-to-be-Done, First Principles, and Opportunity Solution Trees to test assumptions and explore strategy.

## Gotchas

- Stakeholder updates and metrics reviews are far richer when project trackers (Linear/Asana/Jira), analytics (Amplitude/Pendo), and Notion are connected via MCP
- Without connected data sources you must provide roadmap, research, and metrics context manually
- product-brainstorming intentionally pushes back and challenges assumptions rather than just generating ideas
- The plugin is primarily designed for Cowork though it also runs in Claude Code
