Three AI workflows for the modern product leader

Three moments in the product lifecycle where AI does real work — and in every one, it sharpens judgment instead of replacing it. Browse each workflow, see a quick input → output, and download the skill package to run it yourself.

01 · Ideate

Napkin → Narrative

a.k.a. “The Reading Room” · idea → read-ready strategy doc
Skill

Turns messy meeting notes, context docs, and a rough goal into a strategy document written for a read-and-react session — then pressure-tests it against a panel of top product thinkers before a human ever sees it. The value isn’t the prose; it’s the interrogation up front and the stress test at the end.

How it works
  1. Intake — reads your notes, context, and one-line goal.
  2. Clarify (before drafting) — asks the 4–6 questions that most change the doc.
  3. Draft — one-pager or 3–5 page narrative, and tells you which it chose and why.
  4. Clarify again — targets its own weakest claims.
  5. Stress test — runs the draft past a panel (Lenny’s-archive analyzer) and revises.
Example
Input · raw offsite notes + goal
- onboarding is broken; drop-off spikes at step 3
- competitor shipped a 2-min setup; we're at 11 min
- eng: identity check is the bottleneck, "can't remove" (compliance)
- rachel wants incremental; marcus wants a rewrite

GOAL: get the exec team to fund a 2-quarter onboarding rebuild
Output · clarifying Qs, then the doc

Who’s the decision-maker — and is the ask a funding yes/no or a direction?

One number to anchor on: the 11-min setup, the step-3 drop-off, or the competitor’s 2-min?

Should the doc pick rewrite vs. incremental, or leave it open?

“The ask: fund a two-quarter onboarding rebuild.
The number that should scare us — 11 minutes to first
value, against a competitor now at two…”
What the panel changed: the first draft led with the rebuild. A growth-lens reviewer pushed back — lead with the cost of the drop-off, not the solution. Reordered to open with lost activations in dollars.

The Playable Roadmap

a.k.a. “Strategy You Can Click” · crawl / walk / run, with live prototypes
Skill + sample

Turns a strategy deck into a single self-contained HTML page: a Crawl → Walk → Run selector on top, and a split view where the strategy and a clickable prototype evolve together as you advance stages. A room stops debating bullet points and aligns on the actual experience. No publishing needed — it’s one file you open and screenshare.

Example
Input · a stage outline
strategy: servicing copilot
stages:
  crawl — suggested replies, human sends
  walk  — retrieval + next-best-action, human approves
  run   — autonomous resolution (low-risk), human oversight
constant: a human is always accountable
Output · an interactive page
A single .html file. Click through the stages and watch the left-hand strategy and the right-hand product prototype mature in lockstep — UX getting richer, platform capabilities stacking, value compounding.

Priority Radar

a.k.a. “Portfolio X-Ray” · is our effort going where we said it would?
Skill

Pulls historical Jira data and answers two questions leaders lose sleep over: is our time aligned to our stated priorities, and where are the early-warning hotspots (rising WIP, reopens, churn). It interviews you before and after seeing the data, so the dashboard serves a decision instead of dumping charts.

How it works
  1. Interview first — what decision, which 3–5 priorities, what counts as a hotspot.
  2. Pull — epics, points, labels, cycle time, reopens, WIP by team.
  3. Interview again — surfaces what’s measurable and what’s surprising, then confirms the cuts.
  4. Dashboard — effort-vs-intent, flagged hotspots, and a “so what / do this” narrative.
Example
Input · interview answers
decision: quarterly reallocation review
priorities:  1) fraud  2) onboarding  3) mobile parity
hotspot = reopens rising OR WIP climbing 3+ weeks
audience: my leadership team (anonymized teams)
Output · dashboard excerpt
EFFORT vs INTENT (story points)
  fraud ........... 41%
  mobile parity ... 22%
  onboarding ...... 9%   ← priority #2, effort #4
  unmapped ........ 28%

HOTSPOT
  Team Atlas · reopen rate 3.1× median · WIP up 4 wks
So what: either onboarding isn’t really priority #2, or it’s under-resourced. Recommend reallocating from the 28% unmapped work. Atlas trend = team strain — worth a look, not a verdict.
