Skills
PM Skills ships 68 production-ready skills organized by the Triple Diamond framework plus foundation, utility, and tool classifications.
| Phase | Skills | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | 5 | Research, competitive analysis, stakeholder mapping |
| Define | 5 | Problem framing, hypotheses, opportunity trees, JTBD |
| Develop | 4 | Solution briefs, ADRs, design rationale, spikes |
| Deliver | 6 | PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, launch, release notes |
| Measure | 6 | Experiments, instrumentation, dashboards, results, OKR grading |
| Iterate | 4 | Retrospectives, lessons, refinement, pivot decisions |
| Foundation | 10 | Cross-cutting skills (persona, OKR writer, lean canvas, meeting lifecycle, stakeholder update, stakeholder briefings, prioritized action plan) |
| Utility | 12 | Skill lifecycle tools (builder, validator, iterator, mermaid diagrams, slideshow creator, updater), workflow builder + orchestrator, and sub-agent dispatch skills (pm-critic, pm-skill-auditor, pm-changelog-curator, pm-release-conductor) |
| Tool | 15 | Canonical sprint methodologies: Foundation Sprint family (7) + Design Sprint family (7) + tool-note-and-vote (standalone) |
The tool classification (added in v2.15.0) covers named external methodologies composed of multiple skills working as a system. The Foundation Sprint and Design Sprint families implement the Knapp / Zeratsky / Kowitz canonical workshop methodologies; their family contracts live at docs/reference/skill-families/foundation-sprint-skills-contract.md and docs/reference/skill-families/design-sprint-skills-contract.md. The tool-note-and-vote standalone implements the canonical group-decision mechanic shared across both families.
Skill pages are generated from the source SKILL.md, TEMPLATE.md, and EXAMPLE.md files in each skill directory.
