Idea to Plan: AI Skill for Product Management

Idea to Plan is an AI skill that walks a raw idea to a build-ready plan: problem, discovery, users, riskiest-assumption test, priorities, then spec. Evidence comes before the PRD, always.

What this skill does

Stops the rush to a plausible-looking PRD and sequences the work an idea needs before anyone builds.

Establishes the context once: idea, stakes, stage, market maturity, and evidence in hand.
Frames the problem as an evidence-backed gap before anything else runs.
Runs discovery before the spec, scaled to the stakes of the build decision.
Grounds personas and jobs-to-be-done in the discovery evidence, not guesses.
Foregrounds the riskiest-assumption test as an explicit build gate.
Prioritizes the first slice against validated risk, not a wish list.
Writes the spec last and keeps it proportionate to the evidence beneath it.
Hands the finished plan to product-review for one prioritized report.

When to use it

Use it when you need an AI assistant to:

go from a raw idea to a build-ready plan;
start a new product without rushing to a PRD;
sequence discovery, validation, and spec work in order;
name and test the riskiest assumption before building;
plan a product bet in a crowded market;
hand a finished plan to a full review.

Skills this workflow composes

Skill	Role
Problem statement	Frames the problem as a gap with evidence, first
Discovery	Establishes who adopts, whether they'd switch, and whether they'd pay
Personas & JTBD	Grounds the target users in the discovery evidence
Assumption testing	Designs the cheapest test of the make-or-break belief, as a build gate
Prioritization	Picks the first slice against validated risk, trade-offs exposed
Product spec	Writes the PRD last, proportionate to the evidence beneath it
OKRs & KPIs	Offered when the plan needs first-class outcome metrics
