A 22K‑Star GitHub Project That Turns Product Management Into Plug‑in Skills
The article reviews the PM Skills Marketplace, a GitHub project with over 22,000 stars that packages the entire product‑development workflow into Claude‑driven plug‑ins, detailing its nine skill groups, command usage, real‑world examples, benefits, limitations, and how to install it.
PM Skills Marketplace Overview
PM Skills Marketplace is a plugin marketplace for Claude Code and Claude Cowork that encodes the full product‑management process into more than 100 executable skill blocks. Each block implements a concrete framework as a structured workflow triggered by a slash command.
Skill Packages
Product Discovery : brainstorming, hypothesis testing, user interviews, opportunity‑solution tree.
Product Strategy : business model canvas, pricing, SWOT, PESTLE, Porter’s Five Forces.
Execution : PRD, OKR, roadmap, sprint planning, retrospectives, stakeholder management.
Market Research : personas, segmentation, customer journey, TAM/SAM/SOM estimation.
Data Analysis : SQL generation, cohort retention analysis, A/B‑test significance.
Go‑to‑Market : beachhead segmentation, ideal customer profile, growth flywheel, competitive battle cards.
Marketing Growth : positioning, value proposition, north‑star metric definition.
Toolbox : resume review, NDA drafting, privacy policy generation, grammar checking.
AI Delivery : architecture diagram extraction, user‑flow mapping, permission matrix, variable inventory, documentation gap analysis.
Each skill is grounded in an established framework: opportunity‑solution trees (Teresa Torres), hypothesis testing (Alberto Savoia), and Jobs‑to‑Be‑Done interview guides.
Key Commands and Workflow
/discoverruns a four‑step discovery workflow: idea expansion → hypothesis listing → priority ranking → experiment design. The output for each step is predefined in the skill definition. /interview has two modes: prep generates a JTBD‑focused interview script; summarize processes transcript text into JTBD insights, satisfaction signals, and action items. /strategy produces a nine‑section product‑strategy canvas with guided questions, yielding a ready‑to‑present document. /write-prd follows an eight‑section PRD template (background, goals, user scenarios, feature description, acceptance criteria, release plan, metrics, risks) by prompting the user for each field. /red-team-prd critiques a PRD, surfacing weak assumptions and suggesting the cheapest validation methods. /market-size estimates TAM, SAM, and SOM with explicit assumptions and source citations. /sql generates annotated SQL queries; /cohort performs retention analysis with chart suggestions; /ab-test calculates statistical significance and required sample size. /gtm creates a go‑to‑market plan from beachhead segmentation to competitive battle cards; /north-star defines and decomposes a north‑star metric. /ship-check reverse‑engineers a codebase to produce architecture diagrams, user flows, permission matrices, and variable inventories, then compares them with existing documentation.
Toolbox commands include /resume, /nda, /privacy, and /grammar for quick document tasks.
Installation
For Claude Cowork (GUI), add the marketplace from GitHub with identifier phuryn/pm-skills. For Claude Code (CLI), run: claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills Then install the nine plugins, for example:
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-skillsReal‑World Walk‑Through
Using /discover, the author validated a concept for a GitHub‑Star management tool called StarManager . The command returned a structured output containing a preliminary conclusion, target users, risky assumptions, opportunity points, suggested experiments, an MVP outline, and decision criteria.
Feeding the discovery results into /write-prd produced a complete PRD with a beta‑stage feature roadmap.
Running /market-size on the same idea generated a detailed market‑size report; the highlighted conclusion was that the market is too narrow to pursue.
Observations and Limitations
The most valuable commands for experienced product managers are /red-team-prd (identifies logical gaps in a PRD) and /ship-check (fills documentation and audit gaps for vibe‑coded projects). These tasks previously required senior colleagues or manual effort.
Limitations include heavy reliance on Claude’s context window: long PRDs or extensive discovery sessions may cause earlier steps to be omitted, requiring manual context management. The skill definitions are written in English; non‑English teams may need to polish the output language.
