What it does
Utility Pm Critic is an agent skill from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. Run adversarial review on a PM artifact via the pm-critic sub-agent. Returns findings graded P0/P1/P2/P3 with a concrete fix suggestion per finding and a machine-readable status block. Use after producing a PRD, meeting recap, OKR set, persona, or any PM artifact you want stress-tested before it ships.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `HISTORY.md`, `evals/trigger-fixtures.json` and `references/EXAMPLE.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Subagents, OKRs and executive reporting and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: 68 plug-and-play, best-practice product management skills for AI agents: 30 Triple Diamond phase + 11 foundation + 12 utility + 15 tool (Foundation Sprint + Design Sprint). Plus… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the canonical sub-agent definition at agents/pm-critic.md
- Execute the system prompt body in that file as your operating instructions for this turn
- Read the target PM artifact specified by the user (path from $ARGUMENTS, or most recently produced artifact in session)
- Read the canonical standards docs referenced by the pm-critic system prompt for the artifact type (e.g…
- Produce findings graded P0/P1/P2/P3 with concrete fix suggestions, formatted per the output structure documented in…
- End the output with the layered structure per master plan D26
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cef1a9. 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
Utility Pm Critic loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 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.

<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 -->PM Critic (Dispatch Skill)
This skill is a cross-client dispatch wrapper for the pm-critic sub-agent. It exists so that users on non-Claude clients can run adversarial review with the same intent as Claude Code users, without depending on native plugin sub-agent infrastructure.
Per master plan D11 (amended) + D30, sub-agents are a Claude Code plugin feature. Non-Claude clients (Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI) cannot natively load agents/pm-critic.md. This skill bridges the gap.
When to Use
- You want adversarial review of a PM artifact (PRD, OKR set, persona, lean canvas, meeting recap, interview synthesis, problem statement, hypothesis, edge case catalog, retrospective, etc.)
- You are running on a non-Claude AI client and the
pm-criticsub-agent is not natively available - You are running on Claude Code and prefer skill-invocation semantics over sub-agent semantics (e.g., for consistency across a multi-step workflow that mixes skills and sub-agent intents)
When NOT to Use
- You want a structural lint / repo-level audit -> use
utility-pm-skill-auditor(audits skills + repo state) instead - You want to author an artifact (this skill only reviews) -> use the appropriate phase skill (deliver-prd, foundation-okr-writer, etc.)
- You want code review -> use a code-review-specific tool (this skill is for PM artifacts)
- You want to enforce style rules like em-dash sweep -> that is
pm-release-conductor's G0 gate, not this skill
Instructions
Runtime detection step. Determine which AI client is invoking this skill.
If you are running in Claude Code with the pm-skills plugin installed
Invoke @agent-pm-skills:pm-critic on the target artifact. Pass the artifact path as argument (or the most recent artifact in session context if no argument is provided). Return the sub-agent's findings to the user. No further action needed from this skill - the sub-agent handles the review natively in its own context window.
If you are running in any other AI client
Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, or any other client without native pm-skills plugin sub-agent support:
- Read the canonical sub-agent definition at
agents/pm-critic.md - Execute the system prompt body in that file as your operating instructions for this turn
- Read the target PM artifact specified by the user (path from
$ARGUMENTS, or most recently produced artifact in session) - Read the canonical standards docs referenced by the pm-critic system prompt for the artifact type (e.g.,
skills/foundation-okr-writer/SKILL.mdfor OKR sets,skills/deliver-prd/SKILL.mdfor PRDs) - Produce findings graded P0/P1/P2/P3 with concrete fix suggestions, formatted per the output structure documented in
docs/guides/adversarial-review.md - End the output with the layered structure per master plan D26:
- Section (1): full human-readable findings (the P0/P1/P2/P3 report)
- Section (2):
## Status Summaryin prose, summarizing what was found and what the user should do next - Section (3):
## StatusYAML block with machine-readable fields
Show full SKILL.md (251 more words)Show less
Output Format
See references/TEMPLATE.md for the canonical output structure (with the layered Status envelope per D26). See references/EXAMPLE.md for a worked example showing a real cross-client dispatch run against a PRD.
Composition
- Skills: This dispatch skill composes with all PM-artifact-producing skills (deliver-prd, foundation-okr-writer, foundation-meeting-recap, foundation-persona, foundation-lean-canvas, discover-interview-synthesis, etc.). Run any of those, then run this skill on the produced artifact.
- Sub-agents: On Claude Code, this skill dispatches to
pm-criticsub-agent. On non-Claude, this skill IS the inline execution; no further dispatch. - Workflows:
pm-workflow-orchestrator(shipped v2.24.0) can invoke this skill at quality-gate steps for cross-client compatibility.
Cross-Client Notes
See Sub-Agent Compatibility Matrix for the canonical cross-client status of all 4 sub-agents + dispatch skills. Summary for this skill as of v2.16.0: PRODUCTION on Claude Code + Codex CLI; EXPERIMENTAL on Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot CLI / Gemini CLI. Maintainers wanting cross-client confidence on a non-Claude client can re-run the maintainer-gate-testing-codex.md harness on that client.
The "read and execute inline" pattern depends on the AI being able to:
- Read a file path provided as a reference (most AI clients support this)
- Treat that file's content as operating instructions for the current turn (most AI clients support this for SKILL.md-style instructions)
- Read additional referenced standards docs at invocation time (all major AI clients support this)
If any of these are unreliable on a given client, that client cannot use this dispatch skill effectively.
