**The PM Skills Marketplace organizes product management capabilities into domain-specific modules, with the execution domain providing 16 markdown-based skills and 11 CLI-style commands for generating deliverables like user stories, PRDs, and sprint plans.**

The **phuryn/pm-skills** repository implements a structured marketplace for product management capabilities. Within this system, **execution-related skills and commands** form the operational backbone, transforming abstract product strategy into concrete deliverables through standardized markdown schemas and chat-oriented interfaces.

## What Are Execution Skills in the PM Skills Marketplace?

The execution domain in `phuryn/pm-skills` contains **skills**—declarative markdown files that encode step-by-step processes for creating specific artifacts. Each skill resides in its own subdirectory under `pm-execution/skills/` and follows a strict YAML frontmatter schema:

```yaml
---
name: Skill Name
description: Concise explanation of the deliverable
---

```

These files define templates, acceptance criteria, and reasoning frameworks that ensure consistent output quality across different product management contexts.

## Execution Commands and Invocation Syntax

**Commands** in the PM Skills Marketplace serve as typed interfaces that instantiate skills with specific parameters. Located in `pm-execution/commands/`, these markdown files define the parsing logic, argument validation, and output formatting that bridge user input and skill execution.

Each command supports slash-style invocation typical of chat-oriented interfaces like Slack bots.

## Practical Implementation Examples

The following snippets demonstrate how automation scripts or chatbots invoke these execution commands against the PM Skills Marketplace engine.

### Generating User Stories with Format Selection

```markdown
/write-stories user Allow users to export reports as PDF and CSV

```

This invocation routes to the `user-stories` skill in [`pm-execution/skills/user-stories/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/user-stories/SKILL.md), returning structured stories with titles, descriptions, and acceptance criteria formatted according to the 3 C's framework.

### Building a Sprint Plan with Parameters

```markdown
/sprint team:5 velocity:30 backlog:backlog.md

```

The `sprint-plan` skill parses the team size and velocity constraints, selects appropriate stories from the referenced backlog file, maps interdependencies, and outputs a markdown sprint plan ready for team review.

### Creating a Product Requirements Document

```markdown
/write-prd MyApp "Add a dark-mode toggle to the settings page"

```

This triggers the 8-section PRD template from [`pm-execution/skills/create-prd/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/create-prd/SKILL.md), pre-populating sections for market analysis, objectives, value proposition, and functional requirements.

## Summary

- **11 CLI-style commands** that expose skills through chat-oriented interfaces with structured argument parsing
- **Standardized markdown schemas** ensuring consistent artifact generation across all execution workflows
- **Direct source file mapping** with skills residing in `pm-execution/skills/` and commands in `pm-execution/commands/`

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between a skill and a command in the PM Skills Marketplace?

A **skill** is a declarative markdown file containing process logic, templates, and acceptance criteria for creating a specific artifact. A **command** is an executable interface that parses user input, handles missing parameters through prompting, and routes requests to the appropriate skill. Skills define *how* to create something; commands define *how users invoke* that creation.

### How do I invoke execution skills without using the predefined commands?

While the repository provides standardized commands in `pm-execution/commands/`, you can directly reference any skill file by parsing its YAML frontmatter and markdown content. Each skill follows the schema defined in [`pm-execution/README.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/README.md), allowing custom implementations to instantiate the templates directly without the command wrapper's argument parsing logic.

### Which execution skill should I use for sprint retrospectives?

Use the **retro** skill located at [`pm-execution/skills/retro/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/retro/SKILL.md). This skill provides structured prompts for gathering feedback, identifying process improvements, and capturing action items. While there is no dedicated `/retro` command in the current inventory, the skill can be invoked directly or wrapped in a custom command using the same patterns found in [`pm-execution/commands/meeting-notes.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/commands/meeting-notes.md).

### Can I customize the PRD template generated by the create-prd skill?

Yes. The `create-prd` skill in [`pm-execution/skills/create-prd/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/create-prd/SKILL.md) uses an 8-section markdown template. You can modify the source file directly to adjust sections, add organizational-specific headers, or change the prompt logic. The `/write-prd` command will automatically use the updated template the next time it invokes the skill.
