Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Purpose Help PM candidates and interview coaches structure product-sense answers that sound strong out loud, not just on paper. Use this when practicing prompts like "How would you improve X?", "Design a product for Y", or "What would you build next for Z?" This is not a memorize-and-recite script. It is a reasoning scaffold that prevents solution-jumping, forces real prioritization, and leaves the interviewer with a clean story they can follow. ## Input **Works best with:** The interview prompt you're practicing (e.g., 'How would you improve X?', 'Design a product for Y'). **Also useful:** The company/role you're interviewing for and how much time the answer gets. Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended `ARGUMENTS:` line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask. **Arriving empty-handed? That works too.** The skill asks for the prompt, then walks the reasoning scaffold with you out loud. **Example invocation:** `Practice this: 'How would you improve Google Maps for commuters?' — 25-minute answer, L5 PM loop.` ## Key Concepts ### What Product Sense Interviews Actuall

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill product-sense-interview-answer --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.
