Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Purpose Help product managers identify which organic growth path to pursue by diagnosing where the constraint actually lives. This is not a comprehensive strategy tool. It is a fast triage that puts you in the right lane before you start building hypotheses or running experiments. The four growth paths covered here are drawn from the McKinsey Growth Pyramid (Levels 2 through 5). Levels 1, 6, and 7 are out of scope: Level 1 (existing products to existing customers) is a retention and optimization problem, not a growth motion. Levels 6 and 7 (new industry structure, new arenas) require capital and executive mandate beyond typical product team scope. This skill does three things and nothing more: 1. Diagnoses where your growth constraint lives using two questions 2. Places your situation on the Growth Path Matrix (customer/market context vs. degree of product change) 3. Recommends one growth path with rationale, a diagnostic question, and a first experiment ### Anti-Patterns (What This Is NOT) - **Not a rigorous diagnostic instrument:** A fast triage tool, not a scoring model - **Not a maturity model or rubric:** No stages, no grades, no weighted criteria - **Not a substitute for c

What does the organic-growth-advisor skill do?
Identify which organic growth path to pursue — new segments, geographies, channels, or products. Use when diagnosing where a growth constraint lives and which McKinsey growth level to act on next.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill organic-growth-advisor --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 deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills, a repository with 6,255 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.
