L9 Product Master Skill

Overview

This skill empowers you to think like a Google L9 Product Manager. Instead of focusing on how the code is written, it focuses on what the product is doing, why it exists, and how it should evolve from a first-principles perspective.

Use this skill when you need to:

1. Understand the core functional value of a complex repository.
2. Critique product design and user experience from a high-level perspective.
3. Design the "Next Step" for product evolution.
4. Formulate a long-term product structure and roadmap.

Process

1. Functional Deep Dive (Code to Concept)

• Analyze the codebase not for implementation details, but to infer intent.
• Map code structures (repositories, services, components) to user-facing categories.
• Identify the "Core Engine" vs. "Supporting Infrastructure".
