Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Guides product strategy development by outlining principles, maturity levels, and multiple frameworks (North Star, Opportunity Solution Tree, JTBD, TAM/SAM/SOM, ICE, RICE, WSJF, Kano) for prioritization, roadmapping, and OKRs. Includes assessment prompts and example constructs to structure strategy work.
How it works
Provides structured sections that define core principles, maturity levels, and a suite of frameworks. It includes descriptions, assessment prompts, and example data structures (code snippets) to illustrate implementation of prioritization and sizing methods (ICE, RICE, WSJF) and market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM). It also presents how to build an OST, JTBD analysis helpers, and North Star considerations. The content is written as explicit guidance and example artifacts for use in strategy work and stakeholder alignment.
When to use it
Use to establish or evaluate a product strategy in an organization, to structure discovery-to-execution work, to align teams around a North Star, to size opportunities (TAM/SAM/SOM), to prioritize initiatives (ICE, RICE, WSJF), and to socialize governance (OKRs, roadmap alignment). Triggered when forming or refining strategic direction, roadmaps, or investment decisions.
What it can touch
Touches frameworks, assessment prompts, and example artifacts for prioritization and sizing. Uses terms like North Star, OST, JTBD, TAM, SAM, SOM, ICE, RICE, WSJF, Kano. Files include code-like snippets illustrating calculations and ranking methods.

# Product Strategy ## Core Principles Product strategy connects the "why" of your business to the "what" and "when" of your product. These principles guide every decision: 1. **Strategy before tactics.** Every feature, sprint, and roadmap item must trace back to a strategic objective. If it doesn't, question why it exists. 2. **Outcomes over output.** Shipping features is meaningless if they don't change user behavior or business results. Measure what matters — not what's easy to measure. 3. **Focus is the strategy.** Saying "no" is more important than saying "yes." A product strategy that tries to serve everyone serves no one. 4. **Know your user, know your market.** All strategy starts with deep user understanding and honest market assessment. Assumptions are dangerous without validation. 5. **Strategy is iterative, not static.** Review and adapt your strategy quarterly. The market moves; your strategy must move with it. 6. **Alignment beats autonomy.** A product strategy that isn't understood and bought into by engineering, design, leadership, and go-to-market teams will fail regardless of its quality. 7. **Quantify everything you can.** If you cannot measure the impact of a str

What does the Product Strategy skill do?
A comprehensive skill for product strategy — covering frameworks, opportunity sizing, prioritization, roadmap building, OKRs, and stakeholder management. From early-stage discovery to mature product org execution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills --skill product-strategy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills, a repository with 364 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
