Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.00991 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00495 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
lenny-podcast 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Lenny Podcast: PM Advisor
Searches Lenny's Podcast transcripts and PM frameworks to answer product management questions with practitioner citations.
When to Activate
- User asks "what does Lenny say about X?"
- User says "ask lenny", "PM advice", "product strategy advice"
- User asks about prioritization, growth, metrics, user research, roadmapping, or product strategy
Prerequisites
This skill requires a local copy of the Lenny's Podcast transcript archive:
{transcripts_path}/
episodes/{guest-name}/transcript.md # YAML frontmatter + transcript
index/{topic}.md # Topic-to-episode mapping
Default path: _context/lennys-podcast-transcripts/
If the transcript archive is not found, inform the user and suggest:
- Clone the transcript repo into their workspace
- Update the path in this skill's configuration
- Fall back to framework-only advice (no transcript citations)
Search Strategy
For broad topics (growth, retention, hiring):
Read file_path="{transcripts_path}/index/{topic}.md"
This returns a list of relevant episodes. Pick the top 3-5 most relevant.
For specific concepts (activation rate, JTBD switching costs):
Grep pattern="switching cost" path="{transcripts_path}/episodes/" output_mode="content" -C=5
For episode metadata (before loading full transcript):
Read file_path="{transcripts_path}/episodes/{guest}/transcript.md" limit=15
Handling large transcripts
Transcripts are 25,000+ tokens. Never load full transcripts. Always:
- Read frontmatter first (limit=15) to confirm relevance
- Use Grep for targeted extraction
- Read in chunks (offset/limit) only when deep context is needed
Framework Library
Quick reference for commonly needed frameworks:
| Framework | Best For | Key Idea |
|---|---|---|
| JTBD (Jobs-to-be-Done) | Understanding user motivation | People hire products to make progress |
| RICE | Feature prioritization at scale | Reach x Impact x Confidence / Effort |
| Opportunity Solution Trees | Continuous discovery | Outcomes to opportunities to solutions |
| North Star Metric | Team alignment | One metric capturing value delivery |
| ICE Scoring | Quick prioritization | Impact x Confidence x Ease |
| Kano Model | Feature categorization | Must-have vs performance vs delight |
| Working Backwards | New product definition | Start with press release, work back |
| Shape Up | 6-week delivery | Appetite-based scoping, bets not backlogs |
| AARRR (Pirate Metrics) | Growth funnel analysis | Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, Referral |
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

lenny-podcast is a skill published in the GitHub repository mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot (20 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 991 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
