Skills for product managers, distributed via the Agent Skills standard.
These are reusable practices from the Mind the Product community, packaged so you can drop them into any AI agent — Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cline, Windsurf, Roo, and others — and have a sharper thinking partner on tap.
Install all skills in this repo with one command:
npx skills add mindtheproduct/skillsOr install a single skill:
npx skills add mindtheproduct/skills/make-the-callThe skills CLI (skills.sh) is open source and works with most major AI coding agents.
A 3-stage practice for clarifying a hard product decision. Translate stakeholder asks into the actual problems underneath, stress-test those problems, then pick what matters. Ends with a structured snapshot.
Use when: you have a real product call to make and need a sharp thinking partner — not a search engine, not a summariser, not a cheerleader.
Trigger phrases: /make-the-call, "make the call", "I have a decision to make", "help me think through this decision".
More skills coming. We're working on practices for prioritisation, stakeholder management, OKR-setting, post-mortems, and more. Suggest one.
Product management is mostly judgement under ambiguity. The hard parts aren't framework recall — they're knowing which question to ask next, which lens to apply, when to push back on yourself. AI agents are surprisingly good at that when you give them the right structure. Skills are the structure.
We're packaging the practices that experienced product leaders use and making them install-anywhere. Free, open source, no signup, no lock-in.
We welcome PRs that add new skills or sharpen existing ones. A skill is just a folder with a SKILL.md and (optionally) a references/ directory. See the Agent Skills spec and the make-the-call skill as a reference.
Quality bar:
- A single, well-defined practice — not a kitchen sink.
- A clear
when_to_useso the agent invokes it at the right moment. - Progressive disclosure: a short main
SKILL.md, with detail loaded fromreferences/only when needed. - No filler. If the skill could be 200 lines instead of 800, make it 200.
