growth-experiment-backlog
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.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill growth-experiment-backlog --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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`](../marketing-funnel-plan/SKILL.md)). - **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 ___") | Stage | Impact | Confidence | Ease | ICE |

What does the growth-experiment-backlog skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill growth-experiment-backlog --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
