What it does

Prioritize is an agent skill from menkesu/awesome-pm-skills. Turns a pile of ideas, requests and goals into a confidence-scored roadmap plus a goals/OKR set the team can actually follow. Use when someone says 'prioritize', 'what should we build next', 'roadmap', 'now next later', 'ICE or RICE', 'write our OKRs', 'quarterly planning', 'too many priorities' or 'sales keeps changing the plan'. Draws on 133 Lenny's Podcast guests including Itamar Gilad, Christina Wodtke and Janna Bastow.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k 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 OKRs and executive reporting, Product roadmapping and Podcasting. The repository describes itself as: Product management workflows grounded in Lenny's Podcast, for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says prioritize
  • What should we build next
  • Quarterly planning
  • Too many priorities

Example prompts

  • “prioritize”
  • “what should we build next”
  • “roadmap”
  • “/prioritize”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Diagnose (ask before answering)
  2. Pick the play
  3. 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

Prioritize loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,612 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.9k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,612 words (~4,625 tokens).

“Rank what to build by evidence instead of opinion, shape it into a roadmap that survives contact with reality, and set goals the whole team can recite. Built from 324 insights from 133 Lenny's Podcast guests. Lead team: Itamar Gilad…”
