utility-pm-skill-iterate
Applies targeted improvements to an existing pm-skills skill based on feedback, validation reports, or convention changes. Reads current files, previews proposed changes, writes on confirmation, and suggests a version bump. Use when improving a skill after validation or feedback.
npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill utility-pm-skill-iterate --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 Skill Iterate This skill improves an existing pm-skills skill by applying targeted changes based on input you provide. It reads the current skill files, proposes changes as before/after previews grouped by file, and writes them on your confirmation. After applying changes, it suggests a version bump class and offers to update HISTORY.md. The iterator accepts any of these as input: - A validation report from `utility-pm-skill-validate` - Direct feedback ("the template is missing section X") - A convention change ("all skills now need a Limitations section") - A general improvement request ("make the example more realistic") ## When to Use - After running `utility-pm-skill-validate` and getting a report with findings - When you have specific feedback on a skill and want to apply it - When a repo convention changes and a skill needs to conform - When a skill's example, template, or instructions need improvement - When iterating on a skill before a release ## When NOT to Use - To create a new skill from scratch -> use `utility-pm-skill-builder` - To audit a skill before making changes -> use `utility-pm-skill-validate` first - To make bulk convention changes across many skills ->

What does the utility-pm-skill-iterate skill do?
Applies targeted improvements to an existing pm-skills skill based on feedback, validation reports, or convention changes. Reads current files, previews proposed changes, writes on confirmation, and suggests a version bump. Use when improving a skill after validation or feedback.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill utility-pm-skill-iterate --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.
