ai-shaped-readiness-advisor
Purpose
Assess whether your product work is "AI-first" (using AI to automate existing tasks faster) or "AI-shaped" (fundamentally redesigning how product teams operate around AI capabilities). Use this to evaluate your readiness across 5 essential PM competencies for 2026, identify gaps, and get concrete recommendations on which capability to build first.
Key Distinction: AI-first is cute (using Copilot to write PRDs faster). AI-shaped is survival (building a durable "reality layer" that both humans and AI trust, orchestrating AI workflows, compressing learning cycles).
This is not about AI tools—it's about organizational redesign around AI as co-intelligence. The interactive skill guides you through a maturity assessment, then recommends your next move.
Input
Works best with: A description of how your team currently uses AI in its product work — even 'barely' is a valid answer. Also useful: Team size, product domain, and which of the 5 competencies you suspect is weakest.
Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The advisor opens by asking how AI currently shows up in your team's day-to-day product work.
Example invocation: Assess my team: 6 PMs, we use ChatGPT for PRD drafts and meeting summaries but nothing in our discovery or delivery process has changed.
