AI Skills · Set 1
Put the method into your AI.
A skill is a short set of written instructions your AI loads on its own when a conversation turns to that kind of work. These «six» skills carry John Coleman's methods for product strategy, outcome hypotheses and flow metrics, each grounded in named sources. Install once. Every conversation after that starts already knowing the method.
Works in «Claude, Claude Code and Cursor». Plain text files in a folder. Nothing to install beyond that.
See both ways to buy Details & policiesFree for non-commercial use. A licence covers use at work. Skills are instructions for an AI, not a guarantee of the result; a person still reads the output.

How it works
Buy once or subscribe
Buy once and keep the version that is live today. Or subscribe and get every update while it runs. The download link «and your licence key» arrive by email. One licence per person.
Install the folder
Unzip. Put each skill folder where your AI tool looks for skills. Step-by-step instructions for «Claude, Claude Code and Cursor» are in the read-me. A few minutes. No code.
Work as normal
Nothing to remember. When a conversation turns to work items, strategy or flow, the matching skill loads by itself and holds the method: the sources to read, the guardrails to keep, the shape the output must take.
Plain truths before you buy. A skill makes an AI more likely to follow the method. It does not make the AI right. Read what it produces. Skills are text files: once the download starts there is nothing to return, so that part of the order cannot be refunded.
Buy once or subscribe. Buying once gets you the set as it stands today, yours to keep, with no updates. A subscription gets you every update while it runs. Cancel any time; you keep the last version you received.
Free to read, licensed for work. The same skills are free for personal study and non-commercial use. What you buy is the right to use them at work, for clients, or in anything you are paid for, plus updates if you subscribe.
The sources are named. Each skill states which references it works from, among them Gilb, Vacanti, Wheeler, Reinertsen, the Kanban Guide and the Scrum Guide Expansion Pack. You can check the method against the source, not against the AI's memory.
What's in the set
Each skill does one job. They pair: strategy produces the hypotheses the work items ladder up to; the flow skills read whether the system delivering them is healthy.
- Product strategyReverse-engineers a strategy from real work items, then runs it as a falsifiable hypothesis with kill criteria on the Continuous Adaptive Strategy canvas.
- Outcome-hypothesis work itemsWrites work items as short, falsifiable outcome hypotheses in job-story shape. A named solution must come with alternatives and an impact estimation table.
- Flow metrics interpretationReads cycle time, throughput, work item age and cumulative flow, from chart images or a CSV, and writes a diagnosis with actions.
- Process behaviour chartsTells routine variation from a real signal, using Wheeler's rules, so nobody reacts to noise.
- Actionable agile flow metricsThe full chart family and Monte Carlo forecasting, which it refuses to run when Little's Law's assumptions do not hold.
- Flow review reportTurns a flow diagnosis into a print-ready PDF a team can share.
What you'll receive
Not mock-ups. The folder below is the one you download, and the report is real output from the flow review skill.
SKILL.md and reference files, and a read-me with install steps for each tool.

Everything below applies to every purchase. By buying, you confirm you have read this page and accept its terms, including the licence.
What a skill is
A skill is a folder. Inside is a file called SKILL.md that tells the AI when the skill applies, which method to follow, which sources to read first, and the shape the output must take. Some skills carry reference files alongside it.
The AI reads the folder when a conversation matches its description. You do not have to ask for it or remember it exists.
Skills are plain Markdown. They contain no code that runs on your machine and collect no data.
What is delivered at purchase
After payment, the buyer receives:
- An order confirmation email
- An email with the download link «and one licence key per licence bought»
- Install instructions for each supported tool, inside the download
- «Access to a private order page showing each licence»
- Subscribers only: every new version, sent to the email on the order while the subscription runs
The files are the deliverable. They are yours to keep, whether you bought once or later cancel a subscription.
Compatibility
We test every release on «Claude (via Projects), Claude Code and Cursor». The read-me gives the folder location for each.
Any AI tool that reads a skills folder in Markdown can load them. Others may work. We do not promise that they will.
Skills rely on the AI model behind the tool. A weaker model follows a method less reliably. We write and test on the most capable models available at release.

Updates
The sources change. When the Kanban Guide or the Scrum Guide Expansion Pack is revised, or a skill is corrected, we issue a new version of the set.
Bought once: you have the version that was live on the day you bought. It does not update. You keep it for good. For a later version, buy again or subscribe.
Subscribed: every new version is sent to you while your subscription runs. If you cancel, you keep the last version you received.
Every release is dated. The read-me lists what changed.
Purchase terms
Email requirement. Use an email address you can reliably access. If a temporary or incorrect address, a corporate firewall, or a spam filter prevents delivery, that is not a delivery failure and is not grounds for a remedy.
Digital content and cancellation. The files are the deliverable. Once the download link has been used, that licence has been supplied in full and its portion of the order is non-refundable. Requests concerning licences whose link has not been used can be sent within 14 days of purchase to info@orderlydisruption.com with your order details; where a remedy is applied, «those licence keys are revoked immediately».
Subscriptions. A subscription renews automatically each «year» at the price shown at checkout, unless you cancel. We email you before each renewal with the date and the amount. You can cancel at any time «from your order page» or by emailing info@orderlydisruption.com. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep the updates until the end of the period you paid for, and you keep the last version you received.

Download by email after checkout. One licence per person. Pick whichever checkout you prefer.
