analytical-pm

analytical-pm is a skill for Claude Code from aroyburman-codes/pm-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to answer product questions with metrics, goals, data-based diagnosis, experiments, and trade-offs. It is tailored to people designing AI products.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose success metrics, define goals, diagnose a metric drop, design A/B tests, identify a main guiding metric, and compare product decisions.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad product ideas into measurable outcomes and investigate why a result changed, instead of relying only on opinions or misleading numbers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

analytical-pm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Analytical PM Skill

Apply a structured framework to PM analytical, metrics, root-cause, and trade-off questions targeting AI product roles.

When to Use

  • User asks "What metrics would you use for X"
  • User asks "How would you measure success for X"
  • User asks "Metric X dropped 20%, diagnose it"
  • User asks about trade-offs between two product decisions
  • User asks "Define a North Star metric for X"
  • User says /analytical-pm followed by a question
  • Any question about metrics, goals, root-cause analysis, A/B tests, or trade-offs

Context

  • Tuned for: AI product roles at frontier AI companies
  • What matters: Translating product intuition into measurable outcomes and debugging complex systems with data
  • Common pitfall: Picking vanity metrics or being too qualitative. Be rigorous and quantitative.

Three Question Types

TYPE A: Metrics / Goal-Setting Questions

"Define success metrics for X" / "What would you measure for X" / "Set goals for X"

Framework: Analytical (6 Steps)

Step 1: Clarify the Product
  • What is the product? Who uses it? What value does it deliver?
  • What stage is it in? (launch, growth, mature, declining)
  • What's the business model? (subscription, API usage, freemium, enterprise)
Step 2: Define the North Star Metric (NSM)

The NSM must capture the core value exchange between product and user.

  • Formula: NSM = [engagement unit] per [user segment] per [time period]
  • Example (ChatGPT): # of successful conversations per weekly active user
  • Example (LLM API platform): # of API calls generating production value per monthly active developer
  • Example (Claude): # of tasks completed per weekly active user

Decompose the NSM into a metric tree:

NSM = Factor A x Factor B x Factor C
Step 3: Supporting Metrics (3-5)

Leading indicators that the NSM will grow. Organized by AARRR:

  • Acquisition: New users/developers, sign-up conversion
  • Activation: First successful use, time-to-value
  • Retention: D7/D30 retention, usage frequency
  • Revenue: ARPU, conversion to paid, API spend
  • Referral: Organic invites, word-of-mouth, virality coefficient

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

analytical-pm is a skill published in the GitHub repository aroyburman-codes/pm-skills (25 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,773 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
