Product Lifecycle Skill

The complete workflow from "I have an idea" to "code is shipped." Ensures that every feature is evaluated before it's built, every solution is chosen deliberately, and every implementation starts with a clear spec.

When to Activate

• User mentions a product idea, feature request, or "we should build X"
• User invokes /idea, /evaluate, /explore, or /prd
• User asks "is this worth building?" or "what's the best approach for X?"
• User wants to understand the full development process
• Multiple solution approaches exist and a trade-off analysis is needed before coding begins
• Acceptance criteria are missing or too vague to guide implementation
• Stakeholders need to align on scope before engineering work starts
• A feature was built but its value or success metrics were never defined
