utility-pm-skill-builder
Guides contributors from a PM skill idea to a complete Skill Implementation Packet aligned with pm-skills conventions. Runs gap analysis, validates through a Why Gate, classifies by type and phase, generates draft files, and writes to a staging area for review before promotion.
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill utility-pm-skill-builder --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.
<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # PM Skill Builder This skill creates new PM skills for the pm-skills library. It produces a Skill Implementation Packet - a complete design document with draft files in a staging area for review before promotion to canonical locations. ## When to Use - When you have an idea for a new PM skill - When you want to add a domain skill (phase-specific), foundation skill (cross-cutting), or utility skill (meta/tooling) to the pm-skills library - When a contributor needs guided skill creation that follows repo conventions ## When NOT to Use - To modify or improve an existing skill → use `utility-pm-skill-iterate` - To audit an existing skill against conventions → use `utility-pm-skill-validate` - To create a skill for a non-pm-skills context → use a general agent skill builder - To create a workflow → workflows are authored directly, not via this builder ## Instructions When asked to create a new PM skill, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Idea Accept the idea in either form: - **Problem-first**: "What PM problem does this skill solve?

What does the utility-pm-skill-builder skill do?
Guides contributors from a PM skill idea to a complete Skill Implementation Packet aligned with pm-skills conventions. Runs gap analysis, validates through a Why Gate, classifies by type and phase, generates draft files, and writes to a staging area for review before promotion.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill utility-pm-skill-builder --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 product-on-purpose/pm-skills, a repository with 518 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.
