🧠 PM Skills — 1170 Professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex & Hermes

Your landlord kept your deposit. Your mom got a medical bill that makes no sense. You got laid off on a Tuesday. Someone you love died, and no one handed you the checklist.

Generic AI is a very confident intern. PM Skills is the senior colleague's notes — 1170 of them, one markdown file each, for the moments at work and in life where "it depends" is not an answer. (PM stands for Professional, not just Product Management. Yes, we get asked.)

PM Skills is an open-source library of 1170 Agent Skills — plain-markdown SKILL.md files that teach an AI assistant to do one professional task to a senior professional's standard, from writing a PRD to decoding a lease or running a blameless postmortem. Each skill bundles the framework, an output template, quality checks, and anti-patterns. It is MIT-licensed and works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Codex.

🚪 Pick a door — 30 seconds each

Nothing here can scare your setup. A skill is a markdown file your AI reads. No runtime, no telemetry, no accounts. Installing copies text files; uninstalling is deleting them. Skeptical? Good instinct — read one first, it's written for humans too.

🥊 Without a skill vs. with one

🌌 Galaxy 3D — all 1170 skills as a constellation. The ones you've run burn brighter. Zero productivity value, 100% recommended.

🎁 Wrapped — your practice as a shareable story. 100% local; nobody learns you ran saying-no-kindly eleven times.

♻️ New: promote what you keep asking for

You have five prompts you type every week with small changes. Each one is a skill that hasn't been written down yet. The pm-skill-promoter bundle closes the loop: scan your own transcripts, pick a pattern, draft the skill, test its triggers, publish it. One command: /promote ~/.claude/projects/my-project.

Here is the loop on the fixture in examples/promoter/, a made-up three-week transcript with a few secrets planted in it:

$ python3 skills/promoter-scan/scripts/promoter_scan.py examples/promoter

| # | Pattern                            | Times | Score |
|---|------------------------------------|------:|------:|
| 1 | write release notes log            |    14 |    82 |   ← you asked for this FOURTEEN times
| 2 | draft update notes stakeholder     |     6 |    71 |
| 3 | summarise thread decisions owners  |     5 |    60 |

  "my api key is [api-key] please use it"      ← the planted secrets come out redacted
  "email the report to [email] and cc [phone]"

Pattern 1 becomes release-notes-from-git-log: a trigger built from the phrases you actually typed, three worked examples with your product name removed, and the corrections you kept making ("shorter", "group by feature", "user-facing tone") turned into quality checks. Then the test:

$ python3 skills/promoter-test/scripts/promoter_test.py drafted-skill/SKILL.md drafted-skill/evals.json
precision 1.0  recall 1.0        ← fires on "changelog entry from these commits", stays quiet on "write a haiku about deploys"

Then promoter-publish prints the entire release package and asks once before pushing. The whole story, with every file: docs/PROMOTE-LOOP.md. Nothing leaves your machine during the scan; the redaction runs before anything is written.

🎯 New: the decision layer

Some questions deserve a number, not a paragraph: which of 1170 skills? · is this input safe? · escalate or hold? · does this output clear the bar? The library now answers those with typed questions — defined options in, one answer with a probability per option out — served by TypeSafe Jev where you have access, and by a labelled Claude-backed adapter where you don't. Every piece falls back honestly; nothing breaks without a key. The full map, all 20 pieces →

npm run route -- "my landlord kept my deposit"
# security-deposit-recovery · pack pm-renters · tier high-stakes · confidence 0.83 · also: lease-decoder

No skill depends on a vendor. The SKILL.md files describe contracts any model can serve; the adapters live in integrations/jev/, and a CI gate keeps it that way.

💬 What can I ask it to do?

Say it in your own words. The description does the routing:

📚 The skills

Every skill follows the same discipline: what it produces, the inputs it needs, a real framework (severity scales, decision rules, not vibes), a concrete output template, quality checks, and anti-patterns. All 1170 pass the SkillSpec L3 gate and a security audit in CI.

Meta

Before installing anyone's skills (including these): skill-vetting — a security read for SKILL.md files. The library's own standard lives in SKILLSPEC.md; every skill's level is enforced in CI.

🔍 What does a skill look like?

A skill is a single markdown file with a name, a description that tells the assistant when to activate it, and a body containing the working framework: required inputs, decision rules or severity scales, a concrete output template, quality checks, and anti-patterns. The assistant reads it and gains the judgment; humans can read, audit, and edit the same file. No runtime, no lock-in.

---
name: lease-decoder
description: "Decode a residential lease into plain English and rank the
  clauses that can hurt you. Use when someone asks 'what am I signing'…"
---
## Framework: Severity Scale
- 🔴 Can cost you real money — auto-renewal into a full new term, break
  penalties beyond re-rental costs, deposit conditions written to fail…

That's the whole trick. It's markdown. Your agent reads it and gains the judgment; you can audit it, edit it, or write your own.
