---
## What Are These Skills?
## 🚀 Quick Install (2 minutes)
Claude Skills are reusable, specialised procedures that teach Claude your exact workflows. Instead of re-explaining your PRD format or meeting notes structure every time, you create a Skill once and Claude automatically applies it whenever relevant.
In Claude Code, run:
Think of Skills as "onboarding guides" for Claude — they package your best practices, templates, and processes so Claude consistently delivers outputs the way you want them.
```bash
/plugin marketplace add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills
```
Or clone and symlink for auto-updates:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills.git ~/pm-claude-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
ln -s ~/pm-claude-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
```
That's it. All 53 skills are now available in every Claude Code session.

### 🎯 Go-to-Market & Launch
## 📖 How Skills Work
| Skill | Purpose | Tool | Folder |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Launch Readiness** | Pre-launch go/no-go assessment | Notion, Jira, Slack | [View](skills/launch-readiness) |
Skills are markdown files in `~/.claude/skills/` that Claude reads dynamically. When you describe a task, Claude scans available skill descriptions (~100 tokens) and loads the full skill only when it's relevant. This means:
- Skills are efficient — they only use tokens when triggered
- Multiple skills can coexist without slowing Claude down
- Personal skills (`~/.claude/skills/`) work across all your projects
