How to Install PM Skills Marketplace for Claude Code CLI: Complete Setup Guide

You can install the PM Skills Marketplace for Claude Code CLI by registering the marketplace with claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills, then installing individual plugins like pm-toolkit or pm-product-strategy using the claude plugin install <plugin>@pm-skills command.

The PM Skills Marketplace is a modular plugin ecosystem hosted in the phuryn/pm-skills repository that ships nine domain-specific plugins containing reusable skills and slash commands. When you install PM Skills Marketplace for Claude Code CLI, you add product management capabilities through a two-step process that registers marketplace metadata and pulls skill files into your local environment. Once complete, you can invoke commands like /discover, /strategy, and /write-prd that chain together domain-specific knowledge.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Step 1: Register the Marketplace

First, tell Claude Code where to find the plugin definitions by adding the marketplace source:

claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills

This command registers the pm-skills marketplace in your Claude Code configuration, enabling the CLI to fetch plugin packages from the repository. According to the README.md under the Claude Code (CLI) heading, this step is required before any individual plugins can be installed.

Step 2: Install Individual Plugins

Each plugin contains a set of skills (domain-specific knowledge files) and commands (slash-command definitions that chain skills together). Install only the plugins you need using the @pm-skills suffix:

# Install the core toolkit (recommended first)

claude plugin install pm-toolkit@pm-skills

# Install strategy and discovery plugins

claude plugin install pm-product-strategy@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-product-discovery@pm-skills

The installation pulls both the skill definitions and command definitions from the repository into your local Claude Code environment.

Step 3: Install Remaining Plugins (Optional)

To access the complete feature set, install all nine available plugins:

claude plugin install pm-market-research@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-data-analytics@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-marketing-growth@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-go-to-market@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-execution@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-ai-shipping@pm-skills

Available Plugins Overview

The marketplace ships nine modular plugins, each documented in its respective README.md file:

• pm-toolkit – Core utilities and base skills (reference: pm-toolkit/README.md)
• pm-product-strategy – Strategy canvas and competitive analysis tools
• pm-product-discovery – User research and discovery workflows
• pm-market-research – Market sizing and trend analysis
• pm-data-analytics – Analytics and metrics skills
• pm-marketing-growth – Growth hacking and marketing commands
• pm-go-to-market – Launch planning and GTM strategy
• pm-execution – PRD writing, OKRs, and roadmap generation (reference: pm-execution/README.md)
• pm-ai-shipping – AI-assisted shipping and delivery workflows

Using PM Skills Commands After Installation

Once installed, plugins register slash commands that you can invoke directly in Claude Code:

# Run a full product discovery workflow

/discover AI-powered meeting summarizer for remote teams

# Create a product strategy canvas

/strategy B2B project-management tool for agencies

# Generate a PRD from a feature idea

/write-prd Smart notification system that reduces alert fatigue

Commands chain together the underlying skills (domain knowledge files) installed with each plugin.

• README.md – Central hub with installation instructions and the Available Plugins section listing all nine plugins
• CLAUDE.md – Official guidance for Claude agents and Claude Code-specific version notes

• Install selectively: Use claude plugin install <plugin-name>@pm-skills to download specific plugins containing skills and commands
• Nine plugins available: From pm-toolkit to pm-ai-shipping, each adds domain-specific capabilities documented in individual README.md files
• Immediate access: After installation, invoke slash commands like /discover, /strategy, and /write-prd directly in Claude Code

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install all nine plugins to use PM Skills Marketplace?

No, you can install only the plugins relevant to your workflow. The pm-toolkit plugin serves as the recommended foundation, but you can selectively install pm-product-strategy, pm-execution, or others based on your specific product management needs.

What is the difference between skills and commands in PM Skills?

Skills are domain-specific knowledge files containing frameworks, templates, and methodologies. Commands are slash-command definitions (like /discover or /write-prd) that chain these skills together into executable workflows. When you install a plugin, you receive both components.

Where are the plugin files stored after installation?

Claude Code CLI stores plugin files in your local environment after running the claude plugin install command. The exact location depends on your Claude Code configuration, but the skills and command definitions are pulled from the phuryn/pm-skills repository and cached locally for offline use.

How do I update plugins after the initial installation?

To update installed plugins, re-run the install command for each plugin you want to update. Claude Code will fetch the latest version from the pm-skills marketplace. The CLAUDE.md file in the repository contains version-specific guidance for managing updates.
