Product Development Expert
Comprehensive product development guidance for iOS/macOS apps. This skill orchestrates the entire product lifecycle from idea validation to App Store release.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Has an app idea and wants to validate it
- Needs market research or competitive analysis
- Wants to generate product specifications
- Needs architecture or UX design documents
- Is preparing for App Store submission
- Wants to plan beta testing or TestFlight strategy
- Needs localization strategy or market expansion planning
- Wants end-to-end product planning
Available Modules

- Feasibility filtering and scoring
- Ranked shortlist of 3-5 ideas with
next_stepcommands
app-namer/ Turn a chosen idea into validated, App-Store-ready name candidates.
- Branded vs. descriptive vs. hybrid archetypes, paired with a subtitle
- App Store display rules (30-char limit, Home-Screen truncation, name/subtitle interplay)

How to Use
- Identify where user is in product lifecycle
- Read relevant module SKILL.md for detailed process
- Generate requested specifications
- Save outputs to appropriate files
Example Workflows
User doesn't have an idea yet:
- Use
idea-generator/to brainstorm and rank ideas - Pick top idea from shortlist
- Run
product-agent/to validate the idea - Run
app-namer/to name it and reserve the App Store name - Continue with market research and specs
User has new app idea:
- Use
product-agent/for initial validation - Run
market-research/for market sizing - Run
competitive-analysis/for competitor insights - Generate PRD with
prd-generator/
User wants full spec package:
- Use
implementation-spec/orchestrator - It coordinates all spec generators
- Produces complete documentation set
