@openhint/hintbook-product-manager

The official HINT vocabulary for product managers. The assistant drafts inside declared product intent; it never invents personas, baselines, metrics, or trade-off decisions.

Measured performance and retrieval results live in the core benchmark report.

Vocabulary

| Context | product, persona, problem, goal, metric, principle | | Requirements | story, criteria, scope, outofscope, priority, constraint | | Discovery | hypothesis, experiment, insight, competitor | | Delivery | milestone, release, dependency, launch | | Shared core | never, source, term, assumption, risk, decision, openquestion, checklist, style, example, good, bad, read, res, notes |

Natural plurals and long forms are included as keyword synonyms; profession search synonyms are declared in keywords/hintbook.json. Full reference: docs/keywords.md.

Output and framing

| Command | Result | | --- | --- | | hint <path> | Scoped profession knowledge only. | | hint --prompt <path> | Role header, scoped knowledge, verification footer. | | hint --standalone <path> | Prompt plus the complete tag glossary. |

Verifiable surfaces: story, metric. These names are stable artifact identifiers and must appear verbatim.

Deterministic emit

The markdown pack emits reviewable product document structure without a model. Run hint emit <path> and gate CI with hint emit --check. Prose that templates cannot derive remains a marked hole.

Internal positions — hypothesis, insight, competitor — deliberately have no emit template. They constrain the work and never leak into the published artifact.

Example

# product nucleus

Declared context for the product document.

# never Invented details

The assistant drafts inside declared product intent; it never invents personas, baselines, metrics, or trade-off decisions.
