## Purpose Assess whether your product work is **"AI-first"** (using AI to automate existing tasks faster) or **"AI-shaped"** (fundamentally redesigning how product teams operate around AI capabilities). Use this to evaluate your readiness across **5 essential PM competencies for 2026**, identify gaps, and get concrete recommendations on which capability to build first. **Key Distinction:** AI-first is cute (using Copilot to write PRDs faster). AI-shaped is survival (building a durable "reality layer" that both humans and AI trust, orchestrating AI workflows, compressing learning cycles). This is not about AI tools—it's about **organizational redesign around AI as co-intelligence**. The interactive skill guides you through a maturity assessment, then recommends your next move. ## Key Concepts ### AI-First vs. AI-Shaped | Dimension | AI-First (Cute) | AI-Shaped (Survival) | |-----------|-----------------|----------------------| | **Mindset** | Automate existing tasks | Redesign how work gets done | | **Goal** | Speed up artifact creation | Compress learning cycles | | **AI Role** | Task assistant | Strategic co-intelligence | | **Advantage** | Temporary efficiency gains | Defensible competitive moat | | **Example** | "Copilot writes PRDs 2x faster" | "AI agent validates hypotheses in 48 hours instead of 3 weeks" | **Critical Insight:** If a competitor can replicate your AI usage by throwing bodies at it, it's not differentiation—it's just efficiency (which becomes table...
