What it does
Ship Faster is an agent skill from menkesu/awesome-pm-skills. Diagnoses why your product team ships slowly and produces a velocity plan with a baseline, a bottleneck map, the top 3 interventions and a stop-doing list. Use it when you say 'we're too slow', 'how do we ship faster', 'projects keep slipping', 'too many meetings', 'approvals take forever', 'our releases are scary', 'velocity', 'cycle time', 'we hired more people and nothing got faster' or 'AI made coding fast but we still ship slowly'. Draws on 226 Lenny's Podcast guests including Farhan Thawar, Nicole Forsgren…
Its SKILL.md is about 5.5k 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 Media & Creative, covering 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
- You say were too slow
- How do we ship faster
- Projects keep slipping
- Too many meetings
Example prompts
- “re too slow”
- “how do we ship faster”
- “projects keep slipping”
- “/ship-faster”
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
Ship Faster loads about 5.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,173 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 3,173 words (~5,539 tokens).
“Find the one bottleneck that actually slows your team, then fix it with the smallest intervention that moves a measured number. Built from 760 insights from 226 Lenny's Podcast guests. Lead team: Farhan Thawar (Shopify engineering), Nicole Forsgren (DORA, SPACE…”

Can I use Ship Faster in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add menkesu/awesome-pm-skills --skill ship-faster -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ship-faster, .gemini/skills/ship-faster, .github/skills/ship-faster and .opencode/skills/ship-faster in your project.
What does Ship Faster need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Ship Faster is instructions for the agent only.
Does Ship Faster 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 Ship Faster safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Ship Faster use?

How many tokens does Ship Faster use?
About 5.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 22k 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 7.6k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
