The repository
phuryn/pm-skills ("PM Skills Marketplace") is one of GitHub's trending repositories in October 2026, with about 26,900 stars and an MIT license. It bundles 69 product management skills and 42 chained workflows across 9 plugins, built for Claude Code and Claude Cowork. The skills also work with other AI assistants.
The idea, in the project's words: "Generic AI gives you text. PM Skills Marketplace gives you structure." Each skill encodes a well-known product framework (discovery, assumption mapping, prioritization, strategy) and walks the user through it step by step, drawing on authors like Teresa Torres, Marty Cagan and Alberto Savoia.
How it works
- Skills: knowledge blocks that Claude loads on its own when the topic comes up in conversation.
- Commands: slash-triggered workflows. Examples:
/discover(ideas, assumptions, prioritization and experiments),/strategy,/write-prd(requirements document),/plan-launchand/north-star(main metric). - Plugins: packages by area: discovery, strategy, market research, data analytics, marketing and growth, go-to-market, execution and more.
When a command finishes, it suggests the next step, mimicking a product manager's real workflow. In Cowork you install it through the UI; in Claude Code, with claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills.
Why it's trending
The repository shows a clear 2026 trend: skills and plugins for agents are becoming the new format for sharing professional know-how. Instead of templates and books, methodologies become instructions an agent follows. And it isn't just for programmers: the audience here is product managers, founders and business teams.
Caveats
- Skills are instructions the agent executes: read them before installing, especially if they have access to files or tools.
- A well-applied framework doesn't replace real customer data. AI helps you structure, but the assumptions still need testing.
- Review what the agent produces (PRDs, metrics) before using it for decisions.
For businesses
- Try it on a real case, such as a PRD or backlog prioritization.
- Adapt the skills to your company's vocabulary and processes: the format is text, easy to edit.
- Consider creating internal skills with your own processes.
