At a glance

Interactive maturity assessment of whether a product team works AI-first or AI-shaped, scoring five PM competencies and recommending which capability to build first.

  • Works in 5 steps: Context Design → Agent Orchestration → Outcome Acceleration → …
  • Assessing how mature your product team's use of AI is
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill separates AI-first, which uses AI to automate existing tasks faster, from AI-shaped, which redesigns how a product team operates around AI by building a trusted shared reality layer, orchestrating AI workflows and compressing learning cycles. It frames the difference as organizational redesign around AI as co-intelligence rather than a tool choice, with one test: if a competitor could copy your AI use just by adding people, it is efficiency and not differentiation.

You describe how your team uses AI today, even if barely, and optionally add team size, product domain and the competency you suspect is weakest. The advisor then walks through a maturity assessment across five PM competencies for 2026, starting with context design, finds the gaps and gives concrete recommendations on which capability to build first. Text passed with the invocation counts as already answered, and arriving with nothing is fine because it asks how AI shows up in your daily product work.

When your agent uses it

  • Assessing how mature your product team's use of AI is
  • Choosing the next AI capability a product team should build
  • Preparing a discussion on moving from AI-assisted tasks to redesigned workflows

Example prompts

  • “Assess my team: 6 PMs, we use ChatGPT for PRD drafts and meeting summaries but nothing in discovery or delivery has changed.”
  • “Are we AI-first or AI-shaped? We barely use AI in product work.”
  • “Tell me which of the five PM competencies we should strengthen first.”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Context Design
  2. Agent Orchestration
  3. Outcome Acceleration
  4. Team-AI Facilitation
  5. Strategic Differentiation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • deanpeters.substack.com

    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

AI-Shaped Readiness Advisor loads about 11k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,348 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~11k

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
