pm-kotler

pm-kotler is a skill for Claude Code from ljucask/pureinn-product-development. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,394 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-definition framework that describes a product at five levels, from its basic customer benefit to possible future features. It also groups each level by the Kano model, which classifies features by how they affect customer satisfaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare product positioning, feed a product requirements document, and preview which features belong in a first release or later work.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish what a product is from what it does or might become, so product scope and future planning are clearer.

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-kotler 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 11d 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.

PM - Kotler's Five Levels of Product

Agent mode (--agent)

Supports --agent: runs autonomously in a subagent, drafts the artifact from existing inputs, and returns a short summary + coverage note.

  • No flag → interactive (default); if inputs are heavy, offer agent mode.
  • --agent → obey. First check inputs are complete. Anything missing: do NOT invent it - mark [ASSUMED - what/why] in the output and summary. Never hallucinate to fill a gap.

What this skill does

Structures the product definition across five levels of value, from core benefit to future potential. Forces explicit separation of what the product IS from what it DOES and what it COULD become.

Output is used in two ways:

  1. Product positioning - what we sell and why it matters (feeds PRD)
  2. Feature planning preview - each level maps to a KANO category, giving early signal on what goes into MVP vs. post-MVP (feeds Phase 5)

No invented product facts. Claude structures the framework; user provides the product knowledge.


Dependencies

Recommended before running:

  • pm-hypotheses (Results mode) - Go/No-Go verdict must be GO before running this skill
  • design-thinking - UVP and core job-to-be-done are input to Level 1 and Level 3
  • pm-personas - customer segments inform Level 3 (expected attributes per segment)
  • pm-market-analysis - competitor benchmarks inform Level 3 (expected) and Level 4 (augmented)

Produces artifacts used by:

  • pm-prd - Five Levels summary is a PRD section (product definition)
  • pm-mvp-scope - Level 2 and 3 map to Must-be features, Level 4 maps to Performance/Delighter

Step 0: Current state check

Check for existing artifact:

  • pureinn-workspace/[slug]/artifacts/phase-3-define/kotler-five-levels.md

Also check: did Go/No-Go verdict produce a GO? If the hypothesis register shows PIVOT or STOP, flag it before proceeding.

Check for Design Thinking synthesis and Personas - these are the primary inputs. If missing, output quality will be lower.

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.
