What is PM Skills?
PM Skills is an open-source library of 1117 Agent Skills — plain-markdown SKILL.md files that teach an AI assistant to do one professional task to a senior professional's standard, from writing a PRD to decoding a lease or running a blameless postmortem. Each skill bundles the framework, an output template, quality checks, and anti-patterns. It is MIT-licensed and works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Codex.
Decode a lease before you sign it. Write a PRD your team can execute. Simulate the promotion committee before the real one meets. Check the weather with zero API keys. Generic AI gives you filler; these give you the structure a senior professional actually uses.
Works natively in Claude Code and Hermes Agent, with ready-to-paste exports for ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex and 8 more tools. (PM stands for Professional, not just Product Management.)
🐣 New here? Pick a door — each takes about 30 seconds
- Just looking → open the ▶ Playground and run a skill in your browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
- You use Claude Code → type
/plugin, search pm-skills, install. Done — ask "decode this lease" and watch. - You use anything else →
npx pm-claude-skills addand pick your tool from the menu (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Gemini…). - Want the guided tour → browse the searchable catalogue site and subscribe to get an email whenever new skills launch.
Nothing here can scare your setup. A skill is a markdown file your AI reads — no runtime, no telemetry, no accounts. Installing copies text files; uninstalling is deleting them. Skeptical? Good instinct: read one first — it's designed to be read by humans too.
Don't know what to look for? Describe your task in plain words at 🔎 find — "my landlord kept my deposit", "board meeting on Thursday" — and it names the skill.
Never miss a new skill. New ones drop regularly — subscribe to the newsletter and get a short email with a real example whenever they launch. No spam, unsubscribe anytime. Prefer no email? Follow via RSS or browse the newsletter archive.
🧠 Not just what to do — how to think
Most skills here answer "do this task." A new family answers "think differently about my life."
LLMs have one big weakness: they're too correct. On open-ended questions they give the safe, average, textbook answer — technically right and completely forgettable. Two new bundles fight that head-on (inspired by parallel-divergent-ideation research):
💭 pm-thinking — think better
Escape the generic answer and stress-test your own decisions:
- the-third-answer — skip the obvious, find the idea worth having
- five-minds — one question, five clashing minds, then converge
- decision-panel — your call, judged by five advisors
- red-team-my-plan — attack it before reality does
- devils-advocate-on-demand — fights the "that's great!" bias
- poke-holes-in-this — only the weaknesses, no praise
🎯 pm-focus — get unstuck
ADHD-friendly executive function (useful for everyone):
- where-do-i-start — chaos → one next action
- task-to-first-step — beat activation-energy paralysis
- overwhelm-triage — everything urgent → a calm short list
- the-one-thing — the single highest-leverage move
- build-my-memory-file — a MEMORY.md so AI gets you
- should-i-send-this — catch the message you'd regret
✨ See it in action
It's not just a folder of files — the whole library is explorable, runnable, and a little bit magic. All of this runs in your browser, free, nothing to install:

💬 What can I ask it to do?
Anything below is a real ask that activates a real skill — say it in your own words, the description does the routing:
| 🏠 "decode this lease before I sign" → lease-decoder | 📋 "write the PRD for our referral feature" → prd-template | 🚨 "blameless postmortem for Friday's outage" → incident-postmortem |
| 💰 "practice my salary negotiation" → salary-negotiation | 📉 "why is churn up this quarter?" → churn-analysis | ⚖️ "rank the backlog with RICE" → rice-prioritisation |
| 🛂 "prep me for the visa interview" → the-visa-interview | 🔨 "is this contractor quote fair?" → home-contractor-quote-decoder | 🏡 "should we rent or buy?" → rent-vs-buy |
| 📝 "draft my self-review honestly" → performance-review | 🚀 "are we ready to launch?" → product-launch-checklist | 📬 "my inbox is 4,000 deep" → email-triage-system |
…all 1117 asks live in the catalog.

📚 The skills
