What it does
Build Metric Tree is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Decompose a top-line metric into a quantified metric tree with mathematical relationships, size each node, and identify where the real leverage is. Use when a PM needs to understand what drives a metric, where to focus, or where NOT to focus.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.
When your agent uses it
- A PM needs to understand what drives a metric
- Where NOT to focus
Example prompts
- “/build-metric-tree”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51838c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Build Metric Tree loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 239 words (~1,766 tokens).
“Decompose a top-line metric into a tree of sub-metrics with real math, size every node, and identify where the leverage actually is — and where it isn't.”
- name
- build-metric-tree
- suggest_when
- User wants to break down a metric, build a KPI tree, find growth levers, understand what drives a number, asks "how do we move X", "where should we focus"…

Questions about Build Metric Tree
What does Build Metric Tree do?
Decompose a top-line metric into a quantified metric tree with mathematical relationships, size each node, and identify where the real leverage is. Build Metric Tree is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Decompose a top-line metric into a quantified metric tree with mathematical relationships, size each node, and identify where the real leverage is.
When should I use Build Metric Tree?
Build Metric Tree fits situations like: A PM needs to understand what drives a metric; where NOT to focus.
How do I install Build Metric Tree in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add amplitude/builder-skills --skill build-metric-tree -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (growth-skills/skills/build-metric-tree in amplitude/builder-skills) into .claude/skills/build-metric-tree in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Build Metric Tree in Codex?
Run `npx skills add amplitude/builder-skills --skill build-metric-tree -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (growth-skills/skills/build-metric-tree in amplitude/builder-skills) into .agents/skills/build-metric-tree in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Build Metric Tree in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add amplitude/builder-skills --skill build-metric-tree -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/build-metric-tree, .gemini/skills/build-metric-tree, .github/skills/build-metric-tree and .opencode/skills/build-metric-tree in your project.
What does Build Metric Tree need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Build Metric Tree is instructions for the agent only.
Does Build Metric Tree access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Build Metric Tree safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Build Metric Tree use?
No licence was found for Build Metric Tree or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Build Metric Tree use?
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Build Metric Tree?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Build Metric Tree: Metric Tree Builder (mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, 1.4k stars), North Star Metric (phuryn/pm-skills, 27k stars), Investigate Metric (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars) and Product Metrics Dashboard Design (phuryn/pm-skills, 27k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
