Check for product marketing context first:
If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before designing a tool strategy, understand:
Business Context - What's the core product? Who is the target audience? What problems do they have?
Goals - Lead generation? SEO/traffic? Brand awareness? Product education?
Resources - Technical capacity to build? Ongoing maintenance bandwidth? Budget for promotion?
| Type | Examples | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Calculators | ROI, savings, pricing estimators | Decisions involving numbers |
| Generators | Templates, policies, names | Creating something quickly |
| Analyzers | Website graders, SEO auditors | Evaluating existing work |
| Testers | Meta tag preview, speed tests | Checking if something works |
| Libraries | Icon sets, templates, snippets | Reference material |
| Interactive | Tutorials, playgrounds, quizzes | Learning/understanding |
For detailed tool types and examples: See references/tool-types.md
What problems does your audience Google? - Search query research, common questions
What manual processes are tedious? - Spreadsheet tasks, repetitive calculations
What do they need before buying your product? - Assessments, planning, comparisons
What information do they wish they had? - Data they can't easily access, benchmarks
