pm-prioritization

pm-prioritization is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 159 tokens per session (2,946 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for deciding what product work should happen first by connecting priorities to strategy, trade-offs, available resources, and the order work needs to happen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rank and sequence features, compare opportunities, choose a prioritization framework, and explain why some work should be delayed or declined.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from treating every backlog item as equally important or using made-up scores that hide uncertainty.

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-prioritization 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 9d 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.

Prioritization Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a generative skill, and prioritization is where good intentions turn into a feature factory. Claude's defaults are the failure modes: reach for RICE for everything (the wrong tool for a brand-new product, where reach scores near zero), produce scores that look objective but rest on guesses, rank without tracing to strategy (so the loudest stakeholder wins), treat the backlog as a dump, and pretend you can optimize time, scope, and quality at once. Strong prioritization is the opposite: criteria derived from strategy, the right framework for the situation, scoring used to surface trade-offs rather than fake precision, sequencing that protects flow, and a defensible "no." So this skill gates:

  1. Establish the strategy, the stage/constraints, and the decision's reversibility — these determine the criteria, the framework, and how much rigor is warranted.
  2. Apply the always-true core — derive criteria from strategy, treat the backlog as a funnel, score to expose trade-offs, balance value × business × feasibility, make trade-offs explicit, sequence don't just rank, say no with context.
  3. Surface the context-dependent decisions (which framework, scoring rigor, roadmap horizon, appetite vs. estimate, bets vs. tactical) with trade-offs.

Then it hands off to pm-prioritization-rigor-audit (its primary pairing), plus pm-okr-metric-validity-audit, pm-assumption-rigor-audit, and — for high-stakes irreversible calls — pm-decision-quality-audit.

Scope: this skill owns the prioritization decision and its sequencing. It defers the roadmap artifact and its communication to pm-roadmap, the strategy itself to pm-vision-strategy, finding/validating the problems to pm-discovery and pm-problem-statement, and the spec to pm-product-spec.


Step 0 — Establish context before prioritizing

pm-prioritization is a skill published in the GitHub repository Uxcel-Lab/product-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 2,946 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-31.
