Description
identify-assumptions-existing is an agent skill that acts as a devil's advocate for a feature idea in a product that already exists. It surfaces the risky assumptions behind the idea across four risk areas: value, usability, viability and feasibility. The skill argues from three perspectives, those of the product manager, the designer and the engineer, and asks why each might fail. The product manager's view covers business viability, market fit and strategic alignment. The designer's view covers usability, user experience and barriers to adoption. The engineer's view covers technical feasibility. You describe your product, your objective, the market segment and the feature idea, and if you provide designs, PRDs or research, the skill reads them first. The result is a list of assumptions to test before the team commits to building. It is part of the pm-skills collection by phuryn and is listed on skills.sh as free.…
