Simply tell your AI assistant what you're working on, and it will activate the relevant skills:
"I'm starting a new AI feature"
→ zero-to-launch, continuous-discovery, ai-product-patterns, strategic-build
"I need to present to executives"
→ exec-comms, strategic-storytelling, confident-speaking
"I'm prioritizing our roadmap"
→ prioritization-craft, decision-frameworks, strategy-frameworks
"I'm measuring product-market fit"
→ user-feedback-system, continuous-discovery, metrics-frameworks, exp-driven-dev
"I'm dealing with difficult stakeholders"
→ stakeholder-craft, influence-craft, workplace-navigation
"I'm launching a new product"
→ launch-execution, positioning-craft, growth-embedded
"I need to grow my PM career"
→ career-growth, strategic-pm, influence-craft
"Help me build a dashboard for customer feedback"
→ Claude activates:
• zero-to-launch (MVP scoping)
• design-first-dev (craft standards)
• ai-product-patterns (AI features)
• metrics-frameworks (what to track)
Building → strategic-build (is this Leverage work?)
