What it does

Product Strategy is an agent skill from magnus919/hermes-profiles. CPO methodology — product vision and strategy (North Star, product principles), competitive analysis and positioning, roadmap prioritization (RICE, Kano, OST), product-market fit frameworks (Sean Ellis test, retention curves), market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), platform strategy, product lifecycle management.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/competitive-positioning.md`, `references/market-analysis.md` and `references/product-strategy.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Product strategy, Prioritization frameworks and Market sizing. The repository describes itself as: Curated Hermes Agent profiles for specialist swarms — opinionated, Hermes-optimized, artifact-pyramid native. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Product strategy
  • Tasks that involve Prioritization frameworks
  • Tasks that involve Market sizing

Example prompts

  • “/product-strategy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 867a555. 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

Product Strategy loads about 757 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~757
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.6k

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.

The profile using this skill produces artifact pyramids. The response to any caller is the absolute path to 00-index.md. See artifact-pyramids skill for the specification.

  • artifact-pyramids — output contract
  • product-methodology — tactical product management (RICE, MoSCoW, customer interviews)
  • go-to-market — CMO methodology (positioning, acquisition, brand, growth modeling)
  • implementation-planning — work breakdown and dependency ordering

What does Product Strategy need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Product Strategy is instructions for the agent only.

Does Product Strategy 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 Product Strategy safe to install?

What licence does Product Strategy use?

Product Strategy is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Product Strategy use?

About 757 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
