What it does
Hire is an agent skill from menkesu/awesome-pm-skills. Builds a role scorecard, interview loop, sourcing plan, reference-check guide and close plan for a hire, and grades an existing job description or loop. Use when you say 'I need to hire a PM', 'write a job description', 'interview questions', 'how do I run references', 'first sales hire', 'first marketer', 'head of product search', 'scorecard' or 'how do I close a candidate'. Draws on 210 Lenny's Podcast guests including Adam Ward, Keith Rabois and Lauren Ipsen.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/frameworks.md` and `references/quotes.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR, Podcasting and Interview preparation. The repository describes itself as: Product management workflows grounded in Lenny's Podcast, for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
When your agent uses it
- You say I need to hire a PM
- Write a job description
- Interview questions
- How do I run references
Example prompts
- “I need to hire a PM”
- “write a job description”
- “interview questions”
- “/hire”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Diagnose (ask before answering)
- Pick the play
- Run it
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c1b6e2d. 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
Hire loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,056 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,056 words (~5,422 tokens).
“Turn a fuzzy 'we need someone' into a role scorecard, a loop where every interview has a job, a reference guide and a close plan. Built from 586 insights from 210 Lenny's Podcast guests. Lead team: Adam Ward (Cursor, ex-Pinterest/Facebook…”
