**Transform your PM workflow with specialized Claude Skills for common product management tasks.**

|
|
|
|
> 📖 **Background**: These Skills emerged from my widely-read Medium article ["Claude Skills: The AI Feature That's Quietly Changing How Product Managers Work"](your-medium-article-link), where I documented how Skills transformed my daily PM workflow, saving 3-4 hours per week.
|
|
|
|
## What Are These Skills?
|
|
|
|
Claude Skills are reusable, specialized 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Who Is This For?
|
|
|
|
- **Product Managers** looking to automate repetitive documentation tasks
|
|
- **PM Teams** wanting to standardize processes and share best practices
|
|
- **Anyone** tired of reformatting Claude's outputs to match their standards
|
|
|
|
## ⚡ Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
|
|
|
1. **Prerequisites**: You need Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise account
|
|
2. **Enable Code Execution**: Settings → Features → Enable "Code Execution and File Creation"
|
|
3. **Install Your First Skill**:
|
|
- Download the [`prd-template`](skills/prd-template) folder
|
|
- Zip the folder (it should contain SKILL.md and any other files)
|
|
- Rename the .zip to .skill (e.g., `prd-template.skill`)
|
|
- Go to claude.ai → Settings → Skills → Upload Skill
|
|
- Try it: "Help me write a PRD for a mobile app onboarding feature"
|
|
|
|
That's it! Claude now knows your PRD format.
