A fat, AI-ready playbook for running product discovery end-to-end. Based on the pm-skills methodology (Teresa Torres' Continuous Discovery Habits, The Mom Test, Lean Startup pretotyping). Use this as an operating guide — not a summary. Each block tells you what to do, what inputs to gather, how to reason, how to judge quality, and what artifact to produce. Work through blocks in order for a full discovery cycle, or jump to a specific block when you need a targeted sub-skill.
