What does the startup-canvas skill do?
Generate a Startup Canvas combining Product Strategy (9 sections) and Business Model (costs + revenue) for a new product. An alternative to BMC and Lean Canvas that separates strategy from business model. Use when launching a new product or evaluating a startup concept.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill startup-canvas --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.
