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 95+ 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

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.
What's New
What changed. A documentation patch with no skill behavior change (catalog stays 68 skills / 6 sub-agents). The docs-site generator built each skill page from a fixed list of section names and silently dropped the rest, so about 27 of 68 pages shipped hollow (missing their method) - most visibly foundation-build-risk-review. The generator now renders every SKILL.md section verbatim, and a new output-based check-skill-page-sections CI gate fails the build if any section is dropped, so it cannot recur. PATCH.
Get started. v2.29.1 release notes
What changed. Two additions grow the catalog from 67 to 68 (foundation 10 to 11) and the sub-agents from 5 to 6. foundation-build-risk-review is a fast pre-build / feature-scope risk gate: given an idea, a feature request, or a scope change, it names the single assumption most likely to make the work fail and returns a verdict (build small, validate first, pivot first, or don't build yet) with a no-code validation step, then routes to the next skill. pm-skill-router is a key-free router sub-agent that makes the new-skill collision gate and the trigger router-eval runnable on the subscription with no API key. Additive MINOR; no change to existing skills' behavior.
Get started. v2.29.0 release notes
What changed. One new foundation skill, foundation-stakeholder-briefings, grows the catalog from 66 to 67 (foundation 9 to 10). It turns any source artifact (a spec, discovery synthesis, research, GTM plan, experiment results, or a retro) into one canonical master document plus a set of audience-tailored briefings - one per stakeholder lens (executive, board, engineering, UX, PMM, sales, CS, legal, data, or a custom audience). Every briefing is a traceable projection of the master (it cites the master claim IDs it draws on and carries exactly one ask), so the versions never quietly disagree. Additive MINOR; no change to existing skills.
