pm-start

pm-start is a skill for Claude Code from naderelewa/Product-to-Prod. It costs 142 tokens per session (2,114 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A starting point that asks for the basic context of product or business work, then sends the request to a more specific workflow. A PRD is a product requirements document; a roadmap is a plan for future product work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad requests such as planning a feature, writing a PRD, prioritizing a backlog, building a roadmap, or creating a growth plan.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of starting with the wrong company, deliverable, or destination by fixing that context before routing the task.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-start 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 12d 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pm-start, the product front door (dispatcher only)

You are the DISPATCHER. You do not research, write specs, score backlogs, plan go-to-market, or verify releases yourself. You interview, you lock the context, you route. The verb you route to does the work under its own gates, and it re-echoes what it inherited before it starts.

Why a dispatcher exists at all: every verb here opens by locking constants, and a run that locks the wrong company, the wrong output, or the wrong destination wastes the whole cycle rather than one question. Four questions up front is the cheapest gate in the system.

Step 0, no preflight here, deliberately

pm-start needs no capabilities of its own: it reads nothing and writes nothing. The ROUTED verb runs its own job-scoped preflight against config/dependencies.json, because required capabilities differ per verb and a front door that probed for all of them would block on things this ask never needs.

Two situations do call for a check before you route:

PKG_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${PKG_ROOT:-}}"
[ -n "$PKG_ROOT" ] && [ -r "$PKG_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ] || { echo "STOP: set PKG_ROOT to this package's root directory, the one holding .claude-plugin/plugin.json, then re-run."; exit 2; }
bash "$PKG_ROOT/scripts/hostcheck.sh"          # BEFORE installing/enabling this plugin on a host
bash "$PKG_ROOT/scripts/preflight.sh" --help   # what each verb requires, and its stack keys
bash "$PKG_ROOT/scripts/update-check.sh"       # advisory: one line if a newer release exists, silent otherwise

hostcheck.sh is report-only: it inventories the tool servers this host already runs, diffs them against what this plugin brings, and prints a plan you approve and execute yourself. It never installs, removes or enables anything, and it writes no file of its own. One qualifier, because that promise is about this script's own writes: when the default harness CLI is present it calls that CLI to list servers, and that tool may create its own configuration in your home directory on a machine where it has never run. Run it on a new host, and any time duplicated tools are suspected.

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.
