Product Analysis

Multi-path parallel product analysis with cross-model test-time compute — spawn parallel agents to explore your product from multiple angles, then synthesize an actionable optimization plan.

#product#audit#ux#analysis#optimization

A single-pass review misses the issues that only show up from another angle. This playbook explores UX, architecture, and information design in parallel, then merges the findings.

Who it's for: product managers, founders, designers, engineers

Example

"Audit our product before launch" → Parallel analyses of UX, IA, and architecture synthesized into a prioritized optimization plan

# Product Analysis

Multi-path parallel product analysis that combines **Claude Code agent teams** and **Codex CLI** for cross-model test-time compute scaling.

**Core principle**: Same analysis task, multiple AI perspectives, deep synthesis.

What This Does

Multi-path parallel product analysis with cross-model test-time compute — spawn parallel agents to explore your product from multiple angles, then synthesize an actionable optimization plan.

What's Inside

The template covers:

  • How It Works
  • Step 0: Auto-Detect Available Tools
  • Scope Modes
  • Phase 1: Parallel Exploration
  • Phase 2: Competitive Benchmarking (compare scope only)
  • Phase 3: Synthesis

Quick Start

Step 1: Create a Project Folder

Make a dedicated folder for this workflow and open it in Claude Code.

Step 2: Download the Template

Click Download above to save the template, then drop it into your project as CLAUDE.md (or paste it into your existing one).

Step 3: Start Working

Tell Claude what you need in plain language — it will follow the template's workflow automatically. For example:

Audit our product before launch

Claude reads the template and runs the steps for you.
