product-manager

The Product Manager skill is designed to assist Product Owners in managing and refining tickets, epics, and backlog items efficiently. It addresses the challenges of maintaining ticket quality, clarity, and structure while ensuring that requirements are accurately captured from conversations, transcripts, or other input sources. By providing structured guidance on ticket shaping, dependency analysis, and refinement, it reduces miscommunication, prevents scope gaps, and streamlines the workflow between product management and development teams.

This skill offers several core capabilities including creating tickets from conversation context, proposing amendments to existing tickets or epics, and analyzing tickets for quality and completeness. It integrates closely with the ticket-assistant agent, which handles CRUD operations for various platforms including Linear MCP, Local Markdown files, and GitHub Issues. Key features include structured ticket proposals with acceptance criteria, identifying gaps or assumptions in existing tickets, suggesting improvements with rationale, and generating refinement questions for team discussions. It follows best practices and reference guides for ticket formatting and analysis, ensuring consistency and actionable outputs.

The Product Manager skill is particularly useful for Product Owners, project managers, and team leads responsible for backlog management and ticket refinement. It can be applied in scenarios such as shaping new features, reviewing existing epics for completeness, identifying dependencies, and preparing tickets for refinement sessions. By automating aspects of ticket creation and analysis while still allowing user confirmation and oversight, it streamlines the workflow, improves communication with development teams, and enhances overall project planning and delivery.
