pm-release-plan

pm-release-plan is a skill for Claude Code from julianoczkowski/product-manager. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,250 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-management skill for turning prioritized customer problems into a committed release plan. A release plan states what a team will deliver, while an MVP is the smallest real product that can test important customer needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to group requirements into themes, define MVP scope, assess size, difficulty, and confidence, and create a release charter.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose a coherent scope, estimate work with an appropriate level of detail, and make delivery commitments without spreading effort across too many incomplete features.

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

pm-release-plan 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Plan / Charter (Pragmatic Framework: Roadmap → Release)

The roadmap drives the release plan. A roadmap is a plan, not a commitment; a release charter is a signed agreement of what will be delivered. See ../pm-copilot/references/framework.md.

MVP, done right: "the version of a new product that allows a team to collect the maximum validated learning with the least effort." An MVP is not the smallest collection of features — it must be a real product that viably solves the customer's top problems from day one. Calling a finished "V1.0" an MVP is a waterfall relapse.

Core methods

Group requirements into Themes. A theme groups prioritized problems that share a persona, a product goal, a technical decision, a strategy, roadmap alignment, or a target metric. Themes make a release remarkable and coherent.

Rule: Deliver 100% of something, not 70% of everything.

Shape the release by three dimensions per theme/requirement: Size · Difficulty · Confidence. Reduce big items by splitting problems.

Estimation ladder (confidence grows with detail): Release → T-shirt sizes (S/M/L) → Iteration → story points → Day → daily updates. Product management is available to answer questions at every step. The dev team makes the final estimate.

Market Window & schedule direction: On a date-driven release, development works TO a date (iterating toward the window); Marketing, Sales and Operations work backward FROM it. On a content-driven release there is no committed date — define the exit criteria that trigger launch instead, and the go-to-market clock starts when they're met.

Change levers (iron triangle): Scope · Schedule · Resources. Decide up front which one drives the plan and how you'll absorb change.

Interview the user (batch questions)

  1. Product, version, project name.
  2. Release theme(s) — the unifying message (persona goals / major capability / set of problems).
  3. Which prioritized requirements are in scope? (pull from an existing MRD/PRD if present)
  4. Date-driven or content-driven? Is this release driven by a target date / market window, or by content (it ships when the themes are done)? Both are equally valid. Only if date-driven: what is the target date or market window? "There is no date" is a legitimate answer — that's a content-driven release, not a missing input.
  5. Major milestones — code complete, beta, final QA, release to production, GA.
  6. Change lever — will Scope, Schedule, or Resources flex when reality hits?
