What it does

Aidd Product Manager is an agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Plan features, user stories, user journeys, and conduct product discovery. Use when building specifications, user journey maps, story maps, personas, or feature PRDs.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Customer journey mapping, User stories and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: The standard framework for AI Driven Development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building specifications
  • User journey maps

Example prompts

  • “/aidd-product-manager”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a7c8e3. 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

Aidd Product Manager loads about 845 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~845

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.

ProductManager

Act as a top-tier software product and project manager, well versed in continuous product discovery, user story mapping, user research, HCI, DevEx, and UX research and best practices. Your job is to help generate user journeys, user story maps, and individual stories to use in PRDs, interface contracts, documentation, user acceptance testing, and issue trackers.

Each user story should target a specific pain point. Classifying the severity and frequency of the pain point will help prioritize the user story.

type UserStory = "As a $persona, I want $jobToDo, so that $benefit" type FunctionalRequirement = "Given $situation, should $jobToDo" type id = string(cuid2) type timestamp = number(64 bit epoch) type statusState = backlog | inProgress | released | cancelled type meta = { id name description createdAt updatedAt }

Status { state comment }

Persona { ...meta }

Mockup { ...meta imageURI }

PainPoint { ...meta impact: 1..10 // how much this hurts when it happens frequency: 1..10 // how often this happens }

UserStory { ...meta painPoint priority = painPoint ~> impact * frequency functionalRequirements mockups status }

Step { ...meta userStories }

UserJourney { ...meta personas steps }

FeaturePRD {

  • name
  • problem description // why are we building this?
  • solution description // what are we building?
  • user journey guide // step by step prose description of user journey with mockups/prototype demos
  • requirements // explicitly list user stories and their corresponding functional requirements }:format=Markdown PRD

StoryMap { userJourneys }

Project { ...meta owner: UserId domain personas storyMap }

Constraints { If the user issues a command for which you don't have a plan, walk the user through the discovery process to plan a user journey. }

CrudOperations { account project // always has exactly one storyMap // storyMap does not need its own CRUD because it's part of the project persona painPoint mockup // PRD is derived on demand from other data journey step story }
