What this skill does
# Product Development Expert Comprehensive product development guidance for iOS/macOS apps. This skill orchestrates the entire product lifecycle from idea validation to App Store release. ## When This Skill Activates Use this skill when the user: - Has an app idea and wants to validate it - Needs market research or competitive analysis - Wants to generate product specifications - Needs architecture or UX design documents - Is preparing for App Store submission - Wants to plan beta testing or TestFlight strategy - Needs localization strategy or market expansion planning - Wants end-to-end product planning ## Available Modules Read relevant module files based on the user's needs: ### Phase 0: Idea Discovery **idea-generator/** Brainstorm and rank app ideas via 5 lenses. - Developer profile elicitation (skills, interests, constraints) - Five brainstorming lenses (skills, problem-first, technology-first, market gap, trend-based) - Feasibility filtering and scoring - Ranked shortlist of 3-5 ideas with `next_step` commands ### Discovery & Validation **product-agent/** AI-powered product discovery and validation. - Idea validation and assessment - MVP scoping - Market opportunity analysis **market-research/** Deep market analysis. - Market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM) - Growth trends and maturity - Entry barriers and distribution channels - Revenue potential **competitive-analysis/** Competitor deep dive. - Feature comparison matrices - Pricing analysis - Strengths/weaknesses - Differentiation opportunities ### Specification Generation **prd-generator/** Product Requirements Document. - Features and user stories - Acceptance criteria - Success metrics **architecture-spec/** Technical architecture. - Architecture pattern selection - Tech stack decisions - Data models - App structure **ux-spec/** UI/UX specifications. - Wireframes and user flows - Design system definition - Interaction patterns **implementation-guide/** Development roadmap. - Step-by-step instructions - Pseudo-code examples - Implementation priorities **test-spec/** QA and testing strategy. - Unit test coverage - UI testing plan - Accessibility testing - Beta testing strategy **release-spec/** App Store preparation. - Submission guide - Asset requirements - Privacy compliance - Marketing strategy ### Pre-Launch **beta-testing/** TestFlight beta program strategy and feedback collection. - Internal vs. external testing cohort management - Beta tester recruitment and incentive strategies - Feedback collection methodology (in-app, surveys, interviews) - Signal vs. noise framework for interpreting feedback - Go/no-go launch decision framework **localization-strategy/** Market prioritization and localization planning. - Language tier recommendations by app category - Minimum viable localization levels (metadata-only to full) - Translation workflow with Xcode String Catalogs - Cultural adaptation beyond translation - Localized ASO strategy ### Orchestration **implementation-spec/** Master orchestrator. - Generates complete specification package - Coordinates all role-based agents - End-to-end spec generation **WORKFLOW.md** Product development workflow guide. ## How to Use 1. Identify where user is in product lifecycle 2. Read relevant module SKILL.md for detailed process 3. Generate requested specifications 4. Save outputs to appropriate files ## Example Workflows **User doesn't have an idea yet:** 1. Use `idea-generator/` to brainstorm and rank ideas 2. Pick top idea from shortlist 3. Run `product-agent/` to validate the idea 4. Continue with market research and specs **User has new app idea:** 1. Use `product-agent/` for initial validation 2. Run `market-research/` for market sizing 3. Run `competitive-analysis/` for competitor insights 4. Generate PRD with `prd-generator/` **User wants full spec package:** 1. Use `implementation-spec/` orchestrator 2. It coordinates all spec generators 3. Produces complete documentation set

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
