# Growth Loops ## Overview Identify and design growth loops (flywheels) that create sustainable traction. This skill evaluates five proven growth loop mechanisms to reduce reliance on paid acquisition and build product-led growth. ## When to Use - Designing growth mechanisms for a product - Building sustainable viral or referral traction - Reducing reliance on paid acquisition - Analyzing competitor growth strategies - Optimizing product for product-led growth ## The 5 Growth Loop Types ### 1. Viral Loop Product content created by users gets shared on external platforms, bringing new users back to the product. - **Mechanism**: Users create content in-product → Share on social/external platforms → New users discover and signup - **Example**: Figma designs shared as links, Loom videos shared in emails - **Strength**: Exponential user acquisition if content is inherently shareable - **Challenge**: Requires highly shareable output and strong incentive to share ### 2. Usage Loop Users create content or value within the product, then share it, which invites new users or drives re-engagement. - **Mechanism**: User creates → Shares creation → Others consume → Become engaged users - **Examp

What does the growth-loops skill do?
Identify growth loops (flywheels) for sustainable traction. Evaluates 5 loop types: Viral, Usage, Collaboration, User-Generated, and Referral. Use when designing growth mechanisms, building product-led traction, or understanding how growth loops work.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill growth-loops --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 phuryn/pm-skills, a repository with 24,843 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.
