Design a new PM skill through guided conversation. An agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills.

  • Works in 7 steps: Purpose — What it does + when to use it… → Input — What the user can bring… → Key Concepts — Frameworks, definitions,… → …

What it does

Pm Skill Creator is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Design a new PM skill through guided conversation. Use when you have raw content or an idea and want to shape it into a compliant skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.

When your agent uses it

  • You have raw content
  • An idea and want to shape it into a compliant skill

Example prompts

  • “/pm-skill-creator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Purpose — What it does + when to use it (outcome-focused)
  2. Input — What the user can bring (subject, optional context), an example invocation, and the rule that inline input counts as answers…
  3. Key Concepts — Frameworks, definitions, mental models
  4. Application — Step-by-step instructions an agent can follow
  5. Examples — At least one concrete, specific example
  6. Common Pitfalls — Named failure modes with consequences and fixes
  7. References — Related skills, external frameworks, source material

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Pm Skill Creator loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,131 words (~4,201 tokens).

“Walk through the full skill design process interactively — from raw idea or content to a structured, repo-compliant SKILL.md draft. Asks adaptive questions to determine skill type, scope, structure, and content, then generates a ready-to-validate draft.”
