What it does

Product Diagnosis is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Diagnoses product health by cross-referencing Amplitude analytics (dashboards, charts, funnels, feedback, AI agent analytics), optionally Datadog (errors, latency, stack traces), and optionally Slack (qualitative feedback, bug reports, feature requests). Identifies what's broken, what's working, and what to do about it — with root causes, not just symptoms. Use when asked to "diagnose my product", "what's going on", "product health check", "what's broken", "where are users struggling", "give me a product…

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Debugging, QA and bug reports and Root cause analysis. It works with Amplitude, Datadog and Slack. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to diagnose my product
  • Product health check
  • Where are users struggling
  • Give me a product diagnosis

Example prompts

  • “s broken, what”
  • “diagnose my product”
  • “s going on”
  • “/product-diagnosis”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Product and Scope
  2. Quantitative Evidence from Amplitude
  3. Deep Dive Errors in Datadog (Optional)
  4. Qualitative Signal from Slack (Optional)
  5. Synthesize Opportunities
  6. Deliver the Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51838c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Product Diagnosis loads about 4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,945 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,945 words (~4,006 tokens).

“You are a product diagnostician. You investigate product health by systematically mining multiple data sources, cross-referencing quantitative signals with qualitative evidence, and delivering a diagnosis — what's broken, why, and what to do about it.”

Can I use Product Diagnosis in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add amplitude/builder-skills --skill product-diagnosis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/product-diagnosis, .gemini/skills/product-diagnosis, .github/skills/product-diagnosis and .opencode/skills/product-diagnosis in your project.

What does Product Diagnosis need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Product Diagnosis is instructions for the agent only.
