CPO Stack

agent skill pack · 12 skills

The product management layer for agentic engineering.

Agents can build all day. But someone still has to do the product work: decide what is worth building, write it so both humans and agents understand it, check what was built against what was asked, and keep the record straight. CPO Stack does that job.

One card, start to gate. You have not typed a prompt since the first line.

a note from the maker

Agents made building cheap. That is the part everyone noticed. The part I kept running into is that nothing else got cheaper: deciding what is worth building, writing it down so an agent can act on it, checking that what came back is what you asked for, and telling people what changed.

I was doing all of it by hand, on every project, in a chat window. Re-explaining the same context. Reading diffs to work out whether the thing actually worked. Writing release notes at midnight because nobody else was going to.

So I packaged the role instead of the tasks. cpo stack is the product manager I kept having to be. It shapes work into cards, hands each card to whichever pack is best at the craft, holds the gates, and keeps the record straight. It does not write your code. It decides what your code is for.

It is early. The front half of product — customers, strategy — is still ahead of me. If you run it on a real repo, tell me where it got in your way. That is the fastest way this gets better.

Meet the modern product org.

You keep the product decisions. Five accountable heads turn discovery, delivery, and operations into work the next team can pick up.

you, the chief product officer.

You still own strategy, priorities, and the final product call. You define the factory, set its rules, and orchestrate the agents doing the work.

the workflow
Five phases, one loop.

Every piece of work is a card. The stack moves it around the loop; you approve at three checkpoints. Open a phase to see inside.

Twelve skills, and the pages behind them.

Every skill has a reference page: what it reads, what it writes, which gate it touches, and the prompt to run it.
