pm-thinking

pm-thinking is a skill for OpenCode from rianvdm/product-ai-public. It costs 42 tokens per session (899 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-management guide for writing product requirements, goals, strategies, roadmaps, and feature decisions. It focuses on starting with the user problem and measuring outcomes rather than simply listing work to deliver.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape PRDs, OKRs, product strategies, prioritization decisions, roadmaps, and feature evaluations.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid building outputs without confirming which user or business problem they solve.

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-thinking 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.

PM Thinking Skill

Apply the product management philosophy to all product-related tasks.

When to Invoke

  • User is working on PRDs, OKRs, strategy documents, or product decisions
  • User asks for product advice or feedback
  • User is evaluating features, priorities, or trade-offs

Core Philosophy

Read 01-context/product-philosophy.md for full context. Apply these principles:

1. Problem-First Thinking

ALWAYS start with the problem, not the solution.

  • Bad: "We should build a developer portal"
  • Good: "Engineers waste 2-3 hours per week searching for documentation across fragmented systems"

Before discussing any solution, ensure you can answer:

  • What pain or friction exists today?
  • Who is experiencing it, and how often?
  • What happens if we do nothing?

2. Outcomes Over Outputs

Focus on the change we want to see, not activities or deliverables.

  • Bad: "Launch X" or "Ship Y"
  • Good: "Reduce incident response time by 40%"

Ask: "What happens after we ship? Did behavior change? Did the pain go away?"

3. Empowered Teams

Give teams problems to solve, not features to build. Provide:

  • Strategic context (where the company is going and why)
  • Clear goals (what outcomes we're trying to achieve)
  • Guardrails (constraints and things that are off the table)

Then trust them to figure out the how.

4. Collaboration Over Consensus

Seek diverse input, but don't require everyone to agree. Use frameworks like DACI for clear decision rights. The call should be made by people closest to the problem and data.

5. Roadmaps Are Road Signs Into the Fog

Treat planning as "a road sign into the fog." Use Now/Next/Later roadmaps:

  • Now: What we're actively working on (1-2 things per team)
  • Next: Coming in the next few weeks, fully spec'd
  • Later: What we believe is important, but may shift

The further out, the more likely things change. That's honest, not a bug.

6. Iteration Over Big Bang

Ship early, ship often, learn and adjust. Each release should deliver standalone value. Breaking big initiatives into smaller chunks reduces risk and accelerates learning.

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.
