What's new in 2.0

• Organized as a product operating model — skills are grouped into the process areas a product org actually runs: strategy, planning, discovery, building, launch, growth, team, and operating cadence, plus vertical playbooks and a career track.
• Newsletter content included — 1.0 was podcast-only; 2.0 adds frameworks and templates from 349 newsletter posts, including the 'How X builds product' series.
• Templates & frameworks per skill — each skill ships with the named frameworks, checklists, and templates guests actually use, in references/artifacts.md.
• Verified quotes — every quote is checked verbatim against the source transcript or post. No paraphrase drift.

What are Skills?

Skills are markdown files that give AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows. Add them to your project and Claude Code (or any agent that reads SKILL.md files) applies the right frameworks when you work on a matching task.
