Quick Start
After installing, you'll have all 68 skills available (invoke any by name, like /pm-skills:deliver-prd, /pm-skills:define-hypothesis, /pm-skills:deliver-user-stories) plus 10 /workflow-* orchestrator commands and the /chain ad-hoc runner, templates, sub-agents, and 200+ sample outputs.
Claude Code (recommended):
/plugin marketplace add product-on-purpose/agent-plugins
/plugin install pm-skills@product-on-purpose
Already installed via the old
pm-skills-marketplace? It keeps working - no action needed. To move to the new home, see the v2.21.0 release notes.
Cross-agent (Cursor, Copilot, Cline, and others via the open skills CLI):
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills
Clone or download:
git clone https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills.git

Optional: let the skills remember your project
By default every skill starts cold, so you re-supply your phase, your current initiative, and anything a previous skill already produced. You can record that once instead.
Add .claude/pm-skills.local.md to your .gitignore, then create it:
---
schema: 1
phase: discover
active_initiative: "Self-serve onboarding"
---
Eight skills now read it. The moment worth seeing: run discover-interview-synthesis on your research, confirm the entry it offers to record, then run deliver-prd. It uses the personas you already produced rather than asking you to paste them again.
Nothing happens until you create the file, and writes are proposed for your confirmation rather than applied. Full schema, the list of participating skills, and the limits it does not yet cover: Hooks and project memory.
Recent Updates
The companion pm-skills-mcp server is in the v2.9.x maintenance line (latest v2.9.3) and remains available on npm for clients that need MCP transport. The catalog is frozen at the v2.9.2 build; subsequent v2.9.x patches do not change the catalog. Active development on the MCP server is paused; security patches and critical bug fixes will continue.
Recommendation: For new users, we recommend using the plugin. See Installation and Setup for other options.

The Big Idea
Stop prompt-fumbling. Start shipping. Every time you ask an AI to help with product management, you start from zero. Generic responses. Inconsistent formats. Missing critical sections. Hours lost to repetitive prompt crafting.
PM-Skills gives your AI instant access to professional frameworks refined across hundreds of product launches, production-ready templates that capture
