At a glance

Picks the right prioritization framework for your stage and context instead of defaulting to RICE or ICE out of habit.

  • Works in 4 steps: Define Scoring Criteria → Score Each Feature → Calculate RICE Score → …
  • Deciding between RICE, ICE, and other scoring approaches
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Scoring frameworks such as RICE, ICE, value-versus-effort, and weighted scoring sit alongside strategic ones like Kano, opportunity scoring, buy-a-feature, and MoSCoW, and contextual ones such as cost of delay, impact mapping, and story mapping; the advisor asks about product stage, team size, data availability, and which frameworks have already failed before recommending one with concrete implementation steps. The goal is avoiding what it calls framework whiplash, switching methods constantly, or mismatching a data-hungry framework like RICE to a team with no usage data yet.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding between RICE, ICE, and other scoring approaches
  • Resolving a stakeholder disagreement about how to prioritize
  • Picking a framework that fits a team with little usage data

Example prompts

  • “Help me pick a framework: seed-stage B2B startup, 40-item backlog, zero usage data.”
  • “RICE isn't working for us, what should we use instead?”
  • “Our stakeholders keep arguing about priorities, suggest a framework that fits.”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Scoring Criteria
  2. Score Each Feature
  3. Calculate RICE Score
  4. Review and Adjust

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Prioritization Framework Advisor loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,683 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
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 1,683 words (~4,241 tokens).

“Guide product managers in choosing the right prioritization framework by asking adaptive questions about product stage, team context, decision-making needs, and stakeholder dynamics. Use this to avoid "framework whiplash" (switching frameworks constantly) or applying the wrong framework (e.g., using RICE…”
