Communication: User's language. Docs: English.
Purpose
Day-to-day product operations: prioritization, backlog, analytics, feedback, lifecycle management.
Parent: faion-product-manager
Context Discovery
Auto-Investigation
Detect existing product operations artifacts:
| Signal | How to Check | What It Tells Us |
|--------|--------------|------------------|
| Backlog | Glob("**/.aidocs/backlog/*") or Glob("**/backlog/*") | Feature backlog exists |
| Prioritization | Grep("RICE\\|MoSCoW\\|priority") | Prioritization framework in use |
| Analytics | Grep("analytics\\|metrics\\|KPI") or Glob("**/analytics/*") | Product metrics tracked |
| Feedback | Glob("**/feedback/*") or Grep("user feedback") | Feedback process exists |
| Tech debt | Glob("**/tech-debt/*") or Grep("technical debt") | Tech debt managed |
| Experiments | Grep("A/B test\\|experiment") | Experimentation culture |
| Lifecycle docs | Grep("lifecycle\\|maturity\\|growth") | Lifecycle awareness |
| Stakeholder map | Grep("stakeholder") | Stakeholder management |
Read existing operations artifacts:
- Backlog structure and feature prioritization
- Analytics dashboards or KPI definitions
- Feedback collection process
- Tech debt register
