pm-use-scenarios

pm-use-scenarios is a skill for Claude Code from julianoczkowski/product-manager. It costs 100 tokens per session (984 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-management method for describing a user's problem as a short story, including who has it, when it happens, why it occurs, and what it causes. It separates the problem to define from the solution to design.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating problem cards, user-scenario descriptions, frequency and impact notes, and persona-focused statements that explain real situations without specifying the implementation.
Why use it?
It turns vague feature requests into clearer, evidence-based problem statements. This helps teams understand the user's situation before deciding what to build.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pm-use-scenarios scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use Scenarios (Pragmatic Framework: Planning → Use Scenarios)

Rule: articulate problems from the persona's point of view. A use scenario illustrates a market problem as a "story" that puts it in context (including current results) — it is one component of requirements. See ../pm-copilot/references/framework.md. Personas should exist first (pm-personas).

Anatomy of a Problem Card

Map interrogatives to fields:

Field Interrogative
[Problem Name] What problem
[Persona] Who has it
has [use scenario] Why it occurs
with [frequency] When it occurs

Reframing sentence (great for turning a feature request into a problem):

[Persona] struggles with [problem] when [context] because [why it matters].

What vs. How — stay on the WHAT

WHAT = the problem → PM → DEFINE HOW = the solution → Team → DESIGN/BUILD
Name, Persona, Use Scenario, Frequency, Market evidence, Impact Overview, flow chart, use cases, UI, prototypes, error conditions

A use scenario ≠ a use case. A use scenario tells the problem story; a use case enumerates every interaction in the functional spec (the team's job).

Three considerations when articulating a problem

  1. Avoid ambiguous terms — do not use: flexible, adaptable, user-friendly, TBD, adequate, rapidly/quickly/fast, fault tolerant, scalable, ASAP, maximize/minimize/optimize (any "-ize" word), and/or, etc. Replace each with a concrete, observable statement.
  2. Edge cases ("what if?") — will your persona actually do it? Don't design for situations that won't happen.
  3. Who is significant? — the U-curve: the vocal extremes (novices + experts) are where we listen; the proficient majority is where we should listen. Write for the majority.

Interview the user (batch questions)

  1. Which persona and which market problem is this scenario for?
  2. Walk me through a real situation where this happens — what triggers it, what do they do today, and what's the current (bad) result?
  3. How often does it occur (frequency)?
  4. What evidence shows this is real (counts across inputs) and how bad is it (impact)?
