What it does

Build Plg Strategy is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Design a product-led growth strategy for your product — classify your PLG motion, define activation and monetization architecture, choose distribution channels, plan the PLG-to-sales bridge, and build defensibility. Incorporates AI-era shifts in distribution, pricing, and user expectations. Use when building or overhauling a growth strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

  • Overhauling a growth strategy
  • Tasks that involve Go-to-market strategy

  2. Design the Activation Architecture
  3. Design the Monetization Architecture
  4. Design the Distribution Architecture
  5. Design the PLG-to-Sales Bridge
  6. Design for Defensibility
  7. Build the Action Plan

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • amplitude.com

    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 Plg Strategy loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k

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 2,123 words (~3,903 tokens).

“Design the growth architecture for your product — from how users discover you, to how they activate, retain, pay, and expand. Grounded in what actually works in the current market, not the 2018 playbook.”
