Stop asking for permission to understand your own product.

For most Product Managers, the codebase is a “black box.” When you need to know how a feature actually works, why a bug is happening, or if a piece of documentation is still accurate, you have to wait: wait for a sync meeting, wait for an engineer to pull a report, or wait for a PRD review.

Claude Code for Product Managers changes the math.

This is not a book about writing code; it’s a book about using agentic AI to navigate, audit, and document it. While the rest of the world is using AI to “chat,” you will learn to use Claude Code, Anthropic’s agentic CLI tool, to perform deep technical investigations in minutes instead of days.

In this playbook, you’ll discover:

• The 20-Minute Rule: How to use agentic AI to perform “Product-First Investigations” that identify root causes without falling into technical rabbit holes.

• Docs-as-Code Automation: Stop letting your PRDs and user guides rot. Learn to build a sync loop where Claude Code audits your documentation against the actual codebase automatically.

• The SKILL.md Framework: How to build reusable “Agentic Skills” that automate your most repetitive tasks—from Jira ticket generation to technical debt audits.

• Strategic Architecture Mapping: How to generate high-level mental models of complex systems so you can lead technical discussions with confidence, not just “take notes.”

• Safety & Cost Control: A pragmatic guide to running an agent in a production environment without blowing your budget or compromising security.

This is the missing manual for the “Technical PM.” Whether you are a seasoned lead or an aspiring head of product, this book provides the specific prompts, workflows, and “Agentic Patterns” required to bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution.

Stop being a passenger in your technical stack. Start driving.
