Build and prioritise a growth experiment backlog. An agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills.

  • Asked to plan growth experiments
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Format, Quality Checks and Anti-Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Prioritise growth ideas

What it does

Growth Experiment Backlog is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build and prioritise a growth experiment backlog. Use when asked to plan growth experiments, prioritise growth ideas, set up a test backlog, or run a growth process/sprint. Produces a prioritised backlog — each experiment as a hypothesis with the metric it moves, an ICE/PXL score, the minimum test design, and a definition of done; plus the cadence to run it.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan growth experiments
  • Prioritise growth ideas
  • Set up a test backlog
  • Run a growth process/sprint

Example prompts

  • “/growth-experiment-backlog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Growth Experiment Backlog loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~873

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.

description
Build and prioritise a growth experiment backlog. Use when asked to plan growth experiments, prioritise growth ideas, set up a test backlog, or run a growth process/sprint. Produces a prioritised backlog — each experiment as a hypothesis with the metric it moves, an ICE/PXL score, the minimum test design, and a definition of done; plus the cadence to run it.

Growth Experiment Backlog Skill

Growth is a rate of learning, not a list of ideas. This skill turns a pile of "we should try…" into a prioritised backlog of falsifiable experiments — each tied to a metric, scored for impact and effort, and shaped as the smallest test that could prove it — so the team ships learning every week, not opinions.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The metric to move — the one growth metric this cycle (activation, conversion, retention, referral).
  • The funnel stage / leak — where the opportunity is (pair with marketing-funnel-plan).
  • Raw ideas — any experiment ideas already on the table.
  • Constraints — eng/design bandwidth and traffic volume (which caps how many tests can reach significance).

Output Format

Growth Backlog: [metric this cycle]

1. Focus — the one metric and the funnel stage, with the current baseline. A backlog without a focus metric is just a wish list.

2. Backlog table — every idea as a hypothesis, scored and sortable:

#Hypothesis ("If we ___, then [metric] will ___ because ___")StageImpactConfidenceEaseICEStatus

(Use ICE (1–10 each) or PXL for less gameable scoring. Sort by score; the top few are this cycle's tests.)

3. Test designs (top 3) — for each top experiment: the exact change, the primary metric + guardrail metrics, the variant(s), the sample size/duration to detect the expected effect, and the definition of done (ship / iterate / kill).

4. Cadence — the weekly rhythm: pick → build → run → read → decide → document the learning back into the backlog (winners and losers both teach).

Quality Checks

  • Every item is a falsifiable hypothesis with the metric it moves and a "because" — not a vague idea
  • Scoring (ICE/PXL) is applied consistently so the backlog is sortable, not cherry-picked
  • Top experiments specify sample size/duration to actually detect the expected effect
  • Each test has guardrail metrics so a "win" can't quietly harm something else
  • There's a cadence that captures the learning from losers, not just winners

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not run experiments without a hypothesis and a target metric — that's just shipping changes and hoping
  • Do not call a test before it reaches the planned sample size — peeking and stopping early manufactures fake wins
  • Do not chase many tiny tests when traffic is low — you'll never reach significance; pick fewer, bigger bets
  • Do not ignore guardrail metrics — a conversion win that tanks refunds or retention is a loss
  • Do not discard losing experiments silently — the learning is the asset; record why it failed

Based On

Growth-process practice — ICE/PXL prioritisation, hypothesis-driven experiments, and the build–measure–learn cadence.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Plan growth experiments."
  • "Prioritise growth ideas."
  • "Set up a test backlog."
  • "Run a growth process/sprint."
