Prerequisites for Cloning

Before you clone the phuryn/pm-skills repository, ensure you have Git installed on your system. If you prefer SSH authentication, configure your GitHub SSH keys beforehand.

Cloning the phuryn/pm-skills Repository

The standard method uses HTTPS to create a local copy of the entire skills marketplace.

Using HTTPS

Run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills.git

This creates a directory named pm-skills in your current working folder and checks out the default main branch as documented in the repository.

If you have SSH keys configured with GitHub, use the SSH URL for secure authentication:

git clone git@github.com:phuryn/pm-skills.git

Verifying the Clone

After cloning, navigate into the directory and inspect the structure:

cd pm-skills
tree -L 2

You should see the top-level organization including README.md, LICENSE, validate_plugins.py, and plugin directories such as pm-toolkit/ and pm-product-discovery/.

Repository Structure Overview

The phuryn/pm-skills repository is organized as a typical GitHub project with a top-level README.md that describes the purpose and installation options. According to the source code, each plugin contains a skills/ folder of markdown-based skill definitions and a commands/ folder of markdown-based CLI-style commands.

Key files you will encounter include:

• README.md — Contains installation instructions and the plugin catalog
• LICENSE — MIT license governing reuse
• validate_plugins.py — CI helper script that validates plugin manifests
• pm-toolkit/skills/review-resume/SKILL.md — Example skill for PM resume review
• pm-execution/commands/write-prd.md — Example command for creating PRDs

Using the Cloned Repository

Once you clone the phuryn/pm-skills repository, you can install the skills into various AI assistants or use them directly.

Install into Claude Code

Add the marketplace and install specific plugins using the Claude CLI:

claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-toolkit@pm-skills

These commands are documented in the README.md at lines 63-78.

Copy Skills for Other AI Assistants

For assistants like OpenCode or Gemini, copy the skill files to the appropriate local directories:

cd pm-skills
for plugin in pm-*/; do
  mkdir -p .opencode/skills/
  cp -r "$plugin/skills/"* .opencode/skills/ 2>/dev/null
done

The same pattern applies to Gemini (~/.gemini/skills/) or Cursor (~/.cursor/skills/) as described in the repository documentation.
