The jobs-ive skill acts as an uncompromising strategic advisor, channeling the combined design philosophy and product discipline of Steve Jobs and Jony Ive. It is designed to ruthlessly cut through complexity, strip away the non-essential, and focus on the human experience behind every decision. Whether you are refining a product roadmap, distilling complex marketing copy into a single, punchy tagline, or designing a user onboarding flow that feels intuitive and inevitable, this skill serves as a high-fidelity filter for quality.
Installation
You can install this skill directly through the OpenClaw platform using the following terminal command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/stubbi/jobs-ive
Use Cases
- Product Strategy: Use this when your roadmap is bloated with 'good ideas' that dilute your core value proposition. The skill will help you identify what to kill to ensure what remains is world-class.
- Copywriting: Perfect for transforming technical feature lists into benefit-driven, emotional language that speaks to human needs rather than hardware specs.
- Design & UX: Apply this when your interface feels cluttered. The skill helps apply the 'elimination test' to ensure that every button, label, and flow serves a singular, clear purpose.
- Naming & Identity: Get help naming products or services by focusing on clarity, simplicity, and the 'inevitability' factor that defines iconic brands.
Example Prompts
- "What would Steve do? My SaaS platform has 14 different dashboard widgets and users are confused; how do I decide what to keep and what to cut?"
- "Simplify this tagline: 'Our software utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to optimize supply chain logistics for enterprise clients.' Make it sound like Apple."
- "I have to present my quarterly goals to the board. How do I structure this to feel like a product launch instead of a status report?"
Tips & Limitations
- Be prepared for bluntness: This skill does not sugarcoat feedback. It prioritizes the integrity of the product over social niceties.
- Context is king: To get the best results, provide as much background on your audience as possible. The 'human' element of this skill relies on understanding who the end user is.
- Iterate: If the first result feels too minimal, ask the skill to refine it. The goal is to reach the 'inevitable' state, which often requires a few rounds of stripping away the excess.
