Skills — encode your best practices as reusable PM commands
Skills are a Claude feature. Each skill is a set of instructions that teaches Claude how to do a specific PM task — like writing a PRD, building a roadmap, or analyzing a competitor. Personal PM OS comes with a full library of these out of the box, and you can write your own.
When to use this
- You need a structured PM output (PRD, roadmap, competitive profile) and want it grounded in your context
- You want every PM on your team running the same playbook for the same job
- You have a recurring workflow worth turning into a one-line command
Using skills
- In Claude Code, type
/to see the skills available in your PM OS. - Pick one (e.g.
/prd-generator,/roadmap-builder,/competitive-profile-builder). - Follow the skill's prompts — it will ask for the inputs it needs.
- Review the output in Claude Code and iterate if anything is off.
How it works
Each skill is a SKILL.md file with instructions written in markdown — no coding required to write a simple one. Personal PM OS ships with skills like /prd-generator, /roadmap-builder, and /competitive-profile-builder. Browse all skills to see the full list.
Before generating anything, every skill reads your context files — company, product, personas, goals, competitors — so outputs reflect what Claude knows about your business, not generic PM advice.
You can customize the included skills, or write new ones for the workflows your team runs that nobody else does. Skills also compose: chain them together into workflows for multi-step work like discovery-to-PRD or research-to-roadmap.
