User install: ~/.cursor/skills/product-strategy-session/ via ./scripts/install-local.sh then ./scripts/sync-user-skills.sh. Invoke with /product-strategy-session.

Do not skip phases to “save turns.” Anything in the invocation counts as answers already given — do not re-ask. Distinct from /plan-the-work (engineering implementation planning).

Purpose

Guide product managers through a comprehensive product strategy session by orchestrating positioning, problem framing, customer discovery, and roadmap planning skills into a cohesive end-to-end process. Use this to move from vague strategic direction to concrete, validated product strategy with clear positioning, target customers, problem statements, and prioritized roadmap—ensuring alignment across stakeholders before committing to execution.

This is not a one-time workshop—it's a repeatable process for establishing or refreshing product strategy, typically spanning 2-4 weeks with multiple touchpoints.

Input

Works best with: The product (or product line) and the strategic question forcing the session. Also useful: Existing positioning, discovery artifacts, roadmap drafts, and who needs to align on the outcome.

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.
