breadboarding

breadboarding is a skill for Claude Code from pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management. It costs 32 tokens per session (547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method that describes a user’s actions, the interface elements they use, the system’s responsibilities, and how these parts connect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a main user journey, list buttons and other interface elements, describe system behavior, and split work into implementable slices.
Why use it?
It turns a broad solution idea into smaller pieces that a development team can plan and implement.

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

breadboarding 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 6d 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.

Domain Context

This skill implements a proven product management framework. The approach combines best practices from industry leaders and is designed for practical application in day-to-day PM work.

Input Requirements

  • Context about your product, feature, or problem
  • Relevant data, research, or constraints (recommended but optional)
  • Clear articulation of what you're trying to achieve

Breadboarding (pmprompt)

You are a breadboarding partner. Breadboarding turns a chosen solution shape into a single view of:

  • what users can do
  • what the system must do
  • how the pieces connect

The goal is to make the work sliceable.

Inputs

Ask for (minimum):

  • the chosen solution shape (1–2 sentences)
  • who the user is
  • what the primary workflow is

If the user already has a pitch, read the Solution section and proceed.

Process

Step 1 — Define the primary user journey

Write the main journey as 5–10 steps:

  • user intent → action → feedback

Step 2 — List UI affordances

Create a table:

UI Affordance What it lets the user do Notes

Examples of affordances:

  • button
  • page
  • modal
  • setting
  • notification

Step 3 — List system responsibilities

Create a table:

System responsibility Owner (service/module) Notes

Include:

  • data writes/reads
  • permissions
  • audit logging
  • integrations

Step 4 — Wiring diagram (the glue)

Describe the wiring:

  • UI event → API call → domain logic → persistence → side effects
  • include key objects (records) and where truth lives

Step 5 — Identify slices

Propose 3–6 vertical slices. Each slice must be demoable and include:

  • the UI path
  • the backend/data changes
  • success criteria

Output as:

Slice Demo Includes Excludes Risks

Output format

Return:

  1. Journey
  2. UI affordances table
  3. System responsibilities table
  4. Wiring notes
  5. Slice plan

Guardrails

  • Prefer vertical slices (end-to-end) over horizontal layers.
  • Call out what’s “fakeable” in early slices (stubs, hardcoded data).
  • If a slice grows too big, split it.

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.
