Installation Guide

Complete guide to installing and using PM Claude Skills.

Prerequisites

Required

• Claude Account: Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan
• Code Execution: Must be enabled (see below)
• Access: claude.ai, Claude Code, or API access

Check Your Account Type

1. Go to claude.ai
2. Click your profile in bottom-left
3. See "Claude Pro" / "Claude Team" / "Claude Enterprise"

If you have Free plan: Skills are not available. Upgrade here

Step 1: Enable Code Execution

Skills require Code Execution to be enabled.

1. Go to claude.ai
2. Click profile icon (bottom-left)
3. Click Settings
4. Click Features
5. Toggle on "Code Execution and File Creation"
6. Click Save

Step 2: Download Skills

Option A: Download Individual Skills (Recommended)

1. Navigate to the skill you want (e.g., skills/prd-template)
2. Click the skill folder
3. Download the SKILL.md file
4. If there are other files in the folder, download those too

Option B: Clone the Entire Repository

git clone https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills.git
cd pm-claude-skills

Option C: Download Pre-packaged Skills (When Available)

Check the Releases page for .skill files ready to upload.

Step 3: Package the Skill

Skills must be packaged as .skill files (which are just renamed .zip files).

On Mac/Linux:

# Navigate to the skill folder
cd pm-claude-skills/skills/prd-template

# Create a zip of the folder contents
zip -r prd-template.skill .

# Move it somewhere convenient
mv prd-template.skill ~/Downloads/

On Windows:

1. Navigate to the skill folder (e.g., skills/prd-template)
2. Select all files inside the folder
3. Right-click → "Send to" → "Compressed (zipped) folder"
4. Rename from .zip to .skill

Important Notes:

• ⚠️ The .skill file should contain the files directly, NOT a parent folder
• ✅ Correct: prd-template.skill contains SKILL.md at root
• ❌ Wrong: prd-template.skill contains prd-template/SKILL.md

Step 4: Upload to Claude

1. Go to claude.ai
2. Click your profile icon (bottom-left)
3. Click Settings
4. Click Skills in the left sidebar
5. Click Upload Skill button
6. Select your .skill file
7. Wait for "Skill uploaded successfully"

That's it! The Skill is now available.

Step 5: Test the Skill

Start a new conversation and test:

For PRD Template:

"Help me write a PRD for a mobile app onboarding feature"

For Meeting Notes:

"Create meeting notes from this discussion: [paste transcript]"

For Stakeholder Update:

"Create a stakeholder update for our Q1 progress"

Claude should automatically recognize when to use the Skill and apply it.
