Product Management

6-phase golden path: DiscoverSpecifyPlanBuildMeasureIterate. AI agents build governed, humans ship trusted.

Start Here (3 Commands)

/product:pr-faq your-product    # Step 1: Define north-star (what + why)
/speckit.specify # Step 2: Structured spec with acceptance criteria
/speckit.plan # Step 3: Implementation plan + task breakdown

These three commands take you from idea to actionable sprint plan. The product-owner agent validates business fit at every step.

Spec-Driven Development — Product Examples

CloudOps Runbooks (PyPI Producer)

CloudOps uses speckit to govern the runbooks CLI package — 131 commands across 9 groups.

Discover: Define what the next sprint delivers

/product:pr-faq CloudOps-S2

Specify: Turn the north-star into executable specs

/speckit.specify

Feature: [describe what you're building]
As a [CloudOps engineer / FinOps analyst / SRE lead],
I want [capability] so that [business outcome].

Acceptance Criteria:
- AC1: [measurable, testable]
- AC2: [measurable, testable]

Plan + Tasks: Generate implementation plan and task breakdown

/speckit.plan
/speckit.tasks

Build: Execute tasks with evidence

/speckit.implement

xOps Portal (F2T2EA Orchestrator)

xOps uses speckit to govern the operational cycle across 67 AWS accounts.

Discover: Define the F2T2EA operational cycle

/product:pr-faq xOps

Specify: Multi-account operations with governance gates

/speckit.specify

Feature: F2T2EA Operational Cycle
