PM Skills Marketplace: The AI Operating System for Better Product Decisions

68 PM skills and 42 chained workflows across 9 plugins. Claude Code, Cowork, and more. From discovery to strategy, execution, launch, growth, and shipping AI-built code.

PM Skills marketplace: skills, commands, and all 9 plugins at a glance

Designed for Claude Code and Cowork. Skills compatible with other AI assistants.

Why PM Skills Marketplace?

Generic AI gives you text. PM Skills Marketplace gives you structure.

Each skill encodes a proven PM framework — discovery, assumption mapping, prioritization, strategy — and walks you through it step by step. You get the rigor of Teresa Torres, Marty Cagan, and Alberto Savoia built into your daily workflow, not sitting on a bookshelf.

The result: better product decisions, not just faster documents.

How It Works (Skills, Commands, Plugins)

Example prompts: a skill and two commands (/write-prd, /ship-check) in action

Skills are the building blocks of the marketplace. Each skill gives Claude domain knowledge, analytical frameworks, or a guided workflow for a specific PM task. Some skills also work as reusable foundations that multiple commands share.

Skills are loaded automatically when relevant to the conversation — no explicit invocation needed. If needed (e.g., prioritizing skills over general knowledge), you can force loading skills with /plugin-name:skill-name or /skill-name (Claude will add the prefix).

Commands are user-triggered workflows invoked with /command-name. They chain one or more skills into an end-to-end process. For example, /discover chains four skills together: brainstorm-ideas → identify-assumptions → prioritize-assumptions → brainstorm-experiments.

Plugins group related skills and commands into installable packages. Each plugin covers a PM domain — discovery, strategy, execution, and so on. Installing the marketplace gives you all 9 plugins at once.

Commands use skills. Some skills serve multiple commands. Some skills (like prioritization-frameworks or opportunity-solution-tree) are standalone references that Claude draws on whenever relevant — no command needed.

Commands are designed to flow into each other, matching the PM workflow. After any command completes, it suggests relevant next commands — just follow the prompts.

Installation

  1. Open Customize (bottom-left)
  2. Go to Browse plugins → Personal → +
  3. Select Add marketplace from GitHub
  4. Enter: phuryn/pm-skills

All 9 plugins install automatically. You get both commands (/discover, /strategy, etc.) and skills.

Installing PM Skills in Claude Cowork

Claude Code (CLI)

# Step 1: Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills

# Step 2: Install individual plugins
claude plugin install pm-toolkit@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-product-strategy@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-product-discovery@pm-skills 
claude plugin install pm-market-research@pm-skills 
claude plugin install pm-data-analytics@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-marketing-growth@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-go-to-market@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-execution@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-ai-shipping@pm-skills

Codex CLI (OpenAI)

Codex reads the same plugin marketplace file as Claude Code, so you can install PM Skills natively — no conversion or file-copying needed:

# Step 1: Add the marketplace
codex plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills

# Step 2: Install the plugins you want
codex plugin add pm-toolkit@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-product-strategy@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-product-discovery@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-market-research@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-data-analytics@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-marketing-growth@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-go-to-market@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-execution@pm-skills
codex plugin add pm-ai-shipping@pm-skills

What you get: every skill (the PM frameworks), available to Codex and invocable by name. Install whole plugins rather than cherry-picking individual skills — a workflow usually relies on several skills that ship together.

What's different from Claude Code: the /slash commands (/discover, /write-prd, …) install but don't run as Codex slash commands — Codex plugins don't expose commands. To run a workflow, just describe the steps in plain language, for example:

Run product discovery on [your idea]: brainstorm options, map assumptions, prioritize the risky ones, then design experiments — pause between each step.

Optional — let Codex turn the workflows into skills. Because the command files ship inside each installed plugin, you can ask Codex to convert the ones you use most:

Read the command files in the pm-execution plugin and create equivalent Codex skills for the workflows I use most often.

This is a best-effort, model-driven conversion (some Claude-specific command syntax won't translate), but it's a quick way to get the guided workflows on Codex without leaving the CLI.

Other AI assistants (skills only)

The skills/*/SKILL.md files follow the universal skill format and work with any tool that reads it. Commands (/slash-commands) are Claude-specific.

What is this?A marketplace of product-management skills for AI assistants: 68 PM skills and 42 chained workflows across 9 plugins, covering discovery, strategy, execution, launch, and growth. You install it into Claude Code or Cowork and run guided PM workflows on demand.
Is this a standalone app, or something I install into an AI assistant?Not a standalone app — it's a set of markdown skill files, slash commands, and plugins that install into AI assistants. Skills load automatically when relevant; commands are triggered with a slash, like /discover or /write-prd.
Do I have to use Claude, or does it work with other AI assistants?It's built for Claude Code and Cowork, and Codex CLI installs the same marketplace natively. Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, and Kiro get skills only — you copy the skill folders into their skills directory.
What changes if I run it through Codex CLI instead of Claude Code?Codex gets every skill, but the /slash commands don't run as commands there — you describe the workflow in plain language instead. You can also ask Codex to convert the command files you use most into Codex skills, though that conversion is best-effort.
Do I need to be a developer to use it?No — it targets product managers, and the Cowork install is explicitly recommended for non-developers: a few clicks in a GUI, no terminal needed. Developers can go through the Claude Code or Codex CLI instead.
What's the difference between a skill, a command, and a plugin?A skill gives the agent a framework or guided workflow for one PM task; a command chains several skills into an end-to-end process you trigger with a slash (like /discover); a plugin packages related skills and commands — installing the marketplace gets you all 9.
Which PM areas do the plugins cover?The README details discovery (ideation, assumption testing, Opportunity Solution Trees, interviews), strategy (vision, business models, pricing, SWOT, PESTLE, Porter's Five Forces), and execution (PRDs, OKRs, roadmaps, sprints, retros, stakeholder maps), with further plugins for market research, launch, and growth.
Whose product methods are baked in?Named frameworks include Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solution Tree, Alberto Savoia's pretotypes for new-product experiments, JTBD interviewing and value propositions, plus nine prioritization frameworks such as RICE, ICE, MoSCoW, and Kano.
What does /discover actually do?It chains four skills — brainstorm ideas, identify risky assumptions, prioritize them by impact and risk, then design experiments to test them. After any command finishes, it suggests the next command so the workflow keeps moving.
