New skill proposal: socratic-questioning #11

Hi Pawel,

I've been following your newsletter and exploring the marketplace. I noticed one gap: there's no skill for asking better questions before jumping to solutions.

Most PM tools, including the ones here, help you move faster: brainstorm more ideas, map assumptions, write PRDs. That's valuable. But the failure mode I keep seeing is PMs (and AI assistants) solving the wrong problem confidently.

Socratic questioning is a structured way to slow down at the right moment. It surfaces hidden assumptions, challenges problem framing, and helps someone arrive at clarity they actually own. It's particularly useful in early discovery, before /discover kicks in.

Proposed skill: socratic-questioning

Suggested plugin: pm-product-discovery, fits naturally before identify-assumptions and interview-script

I built a working SKILL.md using Claude's skill-creator skill. Fair disclosure: the current version is fairly generic and not PM-specific. I'd love your input on how to adapt it to fit the marketplace's style and scope before submitting a PR.
