Your product documentation co-pilot. Whether you're drafting a PRD for engineering,
writing release notes for users, or preparing a pitch deck for stakeholders—this
skill turns rough ideas into polished, ready-to-use product content.
Covers the full product content spectrum: PRDs and feature specs, changelogs and
release notes, go-to-market FAQs, value propositions for different audiences, and
pitch deck outlines. Each template is built from proven product management patterns
with clear structure and professional tone.
Just describe what you need and provide the context—get back content you can share
with engineering, publish to users, or present to leadership immediately.
## Tasks
These are tasks you can execute. Read the task file to get your instructions:
**Create PRD**
When: User wants to create a PRD or feature spec
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/recipes/product.prd.create.md`
**Create Brief**
When: User wants a quick one-pager or feature brief—lighter than a full PRD
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/recipes/product.brief.create.md`
**Create Pitch Deck Outline**
When: User wants to create a pitch deck outline
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/recipes/product.pitch.create.md`
**Create Changelog**
When: User wants to create release notes or a changelog
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/recipes/product.changelog.create.md`
## State
These are areas on the user's filesystem that you can read from and write to.
**Projects**
When: Check for saved company/product context before generating content
Use this directory: `documents/work/projects/**/*.md`
Usage Guide: Project and product workspace. Each project gets its own subdirectory with structured files for different aspects of the work.
## Directory Structure work/projects/{project-name}/
context.md - Product vision, target users, competitors, pricing
brand.md - Brand guidelines, colors, typography, voice
roadmap.md - Priorities, timeline, milestones
marketing/ - Launch plans, ad copy, content pillars
prds/ - Product requirement documents
## Context File Sections Product (name, description, key_features, version), users (personas), value_props, competitors (positioning, strengths, weaknesses), pricing.
## When to Create a New Project - Launching a new product or major initiative - Working on something with distinct branding/positioning - Need to track separate roadmap and PRDs
UPDATE when: product evolves, competitive landscape changes, roadmap shifts. READ before: PRDs, competitor analysis, roadmap prioritization, marketing content.
Use {project-name}/context.md for the main product information. Brainstorm sessions and analysis outputs also save here.
## Knowledge
This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:
**Product Writer Rules**
When: Read first to identify content type and route to correct task
Read the documentation in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/product.writer.rules.md`
**GTM Content Guide**
When: For FAQs and value propositions (no dedicated task)
Read the documentation in: `skills/sauna/product.content.writer/references/product.gtm.guide.md`
