Planning & Project Management for Claude Code

Head of Product — product strategy, requirements, and engineering handoff via the Helm↔Apex interface

Scope arbitration — resolve disagreements between product and engineering on what is in or out of scope, with a decision log and escalation path. Use when asked to "resolve this scope disagreement", "arbitrate between product and eng", "scope is creeping", "we can't agree on what's in scope", or "help us decide what to cut".

|

Product landscape reconnaissance — survey existing briefs, research, strategy, and team output before writing new briefs or dispatching specialists. Use when asked to "understand the product state", "what briefs exist", "what has the team produced", "orient me on this product", or before starting a new product initiative.

Operations engineer — process design, vendor management, legal ops, compliance (SOC2/GDPR), OKR execution, and cross-functional coordination

Customer success engineer — onboarding optimization, health scoring, expansion revenue, and churn prevention

Produce a complete metrics definition doc — metric name, formula, data source, segmentation, SQL or event tracking spec, and what good/bad looks like. Given a product area, outputs the full metrics spec. Use when asked to "define KPIs", "metrics framework", "what should we measure", "north star metric", or "instrument this feature".

Product analyst — metrics frameworks, funnel analysis, OKRs, A/B test design, and retention analysis

A/B test design — produce an experiment spec with hypothesis, primary metric, MDE, sample size, run time, and decision rule. Also determines when NOT to A/B test and what to do instead. Use when asked to "design an A/B test", "should we test this", "experiment design", "how do we know if this works", "what's the sample size", or "set up an experiment".

Metrics architecture — produce a complete metrics plan given a product description. North Star, input metrics tree, instrumentation spec, action triggers, and counter-metrics. Use when asked to "design a metrics framework", "what should we measure", "build a metrics system", "define our KPIs", "what are our success metrics", "metrics strategy", or "what do we track".

Finance engineer — P&L, runway, unit economics, fundraising, board reporting, and cap table management

Audit developer experience — measure onboarding time, build speed, deployment friction, and developer satisfaction. Use when asked to "DX audit", "developer experience review", "why is development slow", "onboarding assessment", or "DORA metrics".

Build a service catalog — schema, starter entries, and governance model. Produces what information to capture per service, how it's maintained, and where it lives. Use when asked to "service catalog", "what services do we have", "catalog our services", "service inventory", or "who owns what".

Define a golden path — the opinionated, supported way to do a common developer task (create a new service, set up an environment, deploy a feature). Produces concrete steps, templates, and tooling. Use when asked to "golden path", "create project template", "scaffold a new service", "how should we create services", or "standardize our setup".

Platform reconnaissance — inventory all developer tooling, environments, build systems, and developer workflows for project takeover. Use when asked to "understand the dev setup", "developer tooling assessment", "platform assessment", or "how do developers work here".

Produce an actual launch plan with announcement copy, channel sequence, and day-1 checklist. Use when asked to "plan a launch", "GTM strategy", "how do we announce this", "launch plan for [feature]", "go-to-market", "write our Product Hunt post", or "how do we get people to notice this".

Produce a test strategy for a project or feature — risk map, test type decisions, coverage targets, CI config. Use when asked to "create test strategy", "what should we test", "testing plan", or "improve test coverage".

Produce a system design doc — components, data flow, decisions made, tradeoffs, failure modes. Not a list of options. An actual design with calls made. Use when asked for "system design for", "architect this", "how should we build", or "design the backend".

Growth engineer — acquisition channels, activation funnels, retention playbooks, and PLG strategy

Growth experiment design — structure a growth hypothesis, define metric, baseline, expected lift, and kill condition for a single experiment. Use when asked to "design a growth experiment", "test this growth idea", "experiment framework", "how do we test if this works", or "growth hypothesis".

PLG motion design — free tier definition, activation sequence, expansion trigger points, viral mechanic assessment. Given a product, output the PLG architecture and make the calls. Use when asked to "PLG strategy", "freemium model", "product-led growth plan", "self-serve motion", "how do we add a free tier", "upgrade triggers", or "viral loop design".

Growth state reconnaissance — scan existing onboarding flows, acquisition channels, conversion funnels, and growth experiment logs to understand current growth state. Use when asked to "what's our growth state", "audit the funnel", "what growth experiments have we run", "acquisition channel inventory", or before designing new growth experiments.

Engineering + Product team — 23 agents, 2 teams. All agents and skills in one install.

Produce a complete mobile app architecture design — platform choice, navigation structure, state management, data layer, key screens. Use when asked to "build a mobile app", "new app", "create iOS/Android app", "app architecture", or "cross-platform app".

Produce a mobile feature spec — user story, technical approach, component breakdown, platform-specific considerations, edge cases. Use when asked to "add a screen", "spec this feature", "mobile feature", "new tab", "push notifications", or "deep link".

Produce a complete firmware architecture spec for a described device — layer diagram, module responsibilities, HAL interface definitions, key state machines, RTOS decision. Use when asked to "design firmware architecture", "plan embedded firmware", "architect an IoT device", "how should I structure this firmware", or given a device description and asked what the firmware should look like.

Produce a complete OTA update system design — partition layout, update flow, rollback conditions, validation checks, fleet management approach, failure modes and recovery. Use when asked about "OTA updates", "firmware updates over the air", "how do I update devices in the field", "OTA strategy", or "remote firmware update design".

Produce a threat model — assets, ranked threats, mitigations, accepted risks. Use when asked to "threat model this", "what could go wrong security-wise", "map our attack surface", or before designing any security-sensitive feature.

Senior power-engineer mitigation playbooks: voltage violations, thermal overloads, contingency (N-1/N-2) findings, dynamic-stability problems, operations/planning infeasibilities, convergence failures, short-circuit duty, frequency response, interconnection impacts, and DER hosting capacity. Issue-driven, software-agnostic, and triggered from the escalation tables in the powerskills-tool skills.
