PM Skills for Claude Code

A collection of Claude Code skills for product managers — turning Claude into a thinking partner, not just an execution assistant.

These skills come from my daily PM workflow. They cover three core scenarios:

Skill	What it does
/new-topic	Dialog-driven convergence from vague idea to clear proposal
/exec-review	Learn a leader's review style, then simulate their feedback
Multi-perspective Review	4 agents (Exec, Designer, Engineer, Data Scientist) review your PRD

Quick Start

Option 1: Project-level (recommended)

Copy the skills you want into your project's .claude/ directory:

# Copy a skill
cp -r skills/exec-review/ your-project/.claude/skills/exec-review/

# Copy agents
cp skills/multi-perspective-review/*.md your-project/.claude/agents/

Option 2: User-level (global)

Copy to ~/.claude/commands/ for access across all projects:

cp skills/new-topic/skill.md ~/.claude/commands/new-topic.md

Skills Overview

/new-topic — Idea Convergence Workflow

A 6-phase structured dialog that takes you from "I have a vague idea" to a concrete proposal with background doc:

Phase 0: Opening → What problem did you observe?
Phase 1: Problem Definition → First Principles decomposition
Phase 2: Job Analysis → JTBD framework (Job Statement + 4 Forces)
Phase 3: Direction Convergence → 2-3 options, forced trade-offs
Phase 4: Proposal Generation → Auto-generate background.md + proposal.md
Phase 5: Refinement → Iterate until ready for team alignment
Phase 6: PRD Initiation → Transition to detailed requirements

Key design choice: Claude drives the conversation, not you. It decides when to advance phases, challenges vague answers, and flags logical contradictions.

/exec-review — Leader Review Simulator

Two modes:

1. Build mode — Feed Claude meeting transcripts, review comments, or Q&A notes from a leader. Claude extracts their review patterns, recurring questions, communication style, and generates a reusable "leader skill" file.

2. Review mode — Load a leader skill and paste your document. Claude reviews it in that leader's voice, with their characteristic phrases and priorities.

Use case: Prepare your PRD/strategy doc before the actual leadership review. Catch the pushback before it happens.

Multi-perspective Review Agents

Four specialized agents that review your product work from different angles:

Agent	Perspective	Key Questions
Executive	Business value, ROI, strategic fit	"What's the ROI? Is this the best use of our time?"
Designer	UX, accessibility, edge cases	"Is this easy to use? What about error states?"
Engineer	Feasibility, architecture, risks	"Can we build this? What's the MVP vs full vision?"
Data Scientist	Metrics, experiment design, ML feasibility	"Are we measuring the right thing? Is this test valid?"

Run all four against the same PRD to get a 360-degree review before your real cross-functional meeting.

Philosophy

These skills are built on a few beliefs:

• Claude should challenge you, not just execute. A "yes-man" AI is useless for product thinking.
• Structure enables creativity. Frameworks like JTBD and First Principles aren't constraints — they prevent you from skipping the hard questions.
• Prepare, don't wing it. Simulating a leader's review or getting multi-perspective feedback before the real meeting saves everyone's time.

Customization

These skills are meant to be forked and adapted:

• Agents: Replace the example reviews with your company's domain. Change the tech stack, business metrics, and competitive landscape.
• exec-review: Build leader skills for your own stakeholders.
• new-topic: Adjust the convergence criteria and output templates to match your team's process.
