Product-Led Growth (PLG) Drive adoption through the product experience itself with minimal sales friction. - **Tools**: Hotjar, Amplitude, Sentry, PostHog, Intercom, Appcues - **Tactics**: Free trials, freemium models, in-app onboarding, self-serve demos, product analytics - **Best For**: Self-service products, SMB market, low ACV, viral potential - **Strength**: Low CAC; aligns product and growth; strong PMF signals; scalable - **Challenge**: Requires excellent product experience; lower price points; longer ROI ## How It Works ### Step 1: Understand Your Product Define product characteristics: - Price point and ACV (contract value) - Sales cycle length - Buyer type and decision-making process - Product complexity and learning curve - Target market size and concentration ### Step 2: Evaluate Market Conditions Assess your market dynamics: - Competitive intensity of your keywords/channels - Target audience location and accessibility - Budget availability for paid channels - Your team size and capabilities - Timeline to revenue generation ### Step 3: Score Each Motion Rate fit for your product (1-10 scale): - Inbound: Content creation capability, brand building timeline - Outbound: Prospect list availability, sales team capacity - Paid: Budget flexibility, target audience clarity, conversion potential - Community: Existing communities, product network effects - Partners: Complementary products, channel availability - ABM: Deal size and account concentration - PLG: Product trial-ability, pricing flexibility ### Step 4: Design Motion Stack Select and prioritize 2-4 motions to execute: - Primary motion (highest potential for your business) - Secondary motions (complementary acquisition channels) - Motion sequencing (which to start first) - Resource allocation across channels ### Step 5: Build Execution Plan Create 90-day implementation roadmap: - Quick wins and early validation - Team and tool requirements - Success metrics for each motion - Optimization and scaling strategy - Budget and resource allocation ## Input Format Use $ARGUMENTS to pass: - Product description and positioning - Target customer profile and market - Price point and sales cycle - Team size and capabilities - Budget and timeline constraints - Existing channels or data ## Output A comprehensive GTM motions analysis including: - Scoring of all 7 motions for your product - Recommended motion stack (primary and secondary) - Tool recommendations for each motion - 90-day execution plan with milestones - Re
The method for finding the gap between what a system is supposed to do and what the code actually does — the class of bug generic scanners miss because they have no model of intent. Defines what counts as documented intent, what counts as implementation evidence, which mismatches matter, and how to avoid hand-wavy findings. Use when auditing AI-built code, reviewing access control against documented permissions, or checking whether a codebase matches its own documentation.
The durable documentation set that makes an AI-built (vibe-coded) app reviewable before shipping. A small core every app needs — architecture, user/permission flows, permissions, variables/secrets, and a test-coverage map — plus conditional docs added only when they apply: emails, scheduled work, SEO, and embedded agents/automation. Defines what each doc must capture and how a reviewer or auditor uses it. Use when documenting a codebase for handoff, mapping user journeys and trust-boundary crossings, planning test coverage, or preparing for a security or performance audit.
Analyze A/B test results with statistical significance, sample size validation, confidence intervals, and ship/extend/stop recommendations. Use when evaluating experiment results, checking if a test reached significance, interpreting split test data, or deciding whether to ship a variant.
Perform cohort analysis on user engagement data — retention curves, feature adoption trends, and segment-level insights. Use when analyzing user retention by cohort, studying feature adoption over time, investigating churn patterns, or identifying engagement trends.
Generate SQL queries from natural language descriptions. Supports BigQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other dialects. Reads database schemas from uploaded diagrams or documentation. Use when writing SQL, building data reports, exploring databases, or translating business questions into queries.
Brainstorm team-level OKRs aligned with company objectives — qualitative objectives with measurable key results. Use when setting quarterly OKRs, aligning team goals with company strategy, drafting objectives, or learning how to write effective OKRs.
Create a Product Requirements Document using a comprehensive 8-section template covering problem, objectives, segments, value propositions, solution, and release planning. Use when writing a PRD, documenting product requirements, preparing a feature spec, or reviewing an existing PRD.
Generate realistic dummy datasets for testing with customizable columns, constraints, and output formats (CSV, JSON, SQL, Python script). Use when creating test data, building mock datasets, or generating sample data for development and demos.
