How to Install PM Skills Marketplace on Claude Code: A Complete Setup Guide

To install PM Skills Marketplace on Claude Code, register the marketplace using claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills, then install individual plugins with claude plugin install <plugin-name>@pm-skills.

The PM Skills Marketplace is a plugin marketplace hosted in the phuryn/pm-skills repository that ships nine modular plugins for product management workflows. When you add this marketplace to Claude Code, the CLI registers the marketplace metadata and enables you to pull domain-specific skills and slash-commands into your local environment.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Installation occurs in two distinct phases: first registering the marketplace source, then installing the specific plugin packages you need.

Register the Marketplace

Before installing any plugins, you must tell Claude Code where to find the plugin definitions. According to the repository's README.md under the Claude Code (CLI) section, run the following command:

claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills

This command registers the pm-skills marketplace identifier, allowing the CLI to fetch plugin packages from the GitHub repository.

Install Individual Plugins

Once the marketplace is registered, install plugins using the @pm-skills suffix to specify the source marketplace. Each plugin contains a set of skills (domain-specific knowledge files) and commands (slash-commands that chain skills together).

Install the core toolkit and additional plugins as needed:

# Core product management toolkit

claude plugin install pm-toolkit@pm-skills

# Strategy and discovery plugins

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

# Analytics and growth plugins

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

# Execution and AI plugins

claude plugin install pm-execution@pm-skills
claude plugin install pm-ai-shipping@pm-skills

The full list of nine plugins is enumerated in the repository's README.md under Available Plugins. You can install all nine plugins to access the complete skill set, or select only those relevant to your current workflow.

Understanding the Plugin Architecture

The PM Skills Marketplace follows a hierarchical structure defined in the repository's documentation:

• Marketplace (phuryn/pm-skills): The top-level container that Claude Code references when resolving plugin names
• Plugins: Nine modular packages (e.g., pm-toolkit, pm-execution) that group related functionality
• Skills: Individual knowledge files within each plugin that contain domain-specific expertise
• Commands: Slash-commands (e.g., /discover, /strategy) that chain skills together into executable workflows

This architecture is implemented across the repository's plugin directories, with each plugin containing its own README.md describing its specific skills and command signatures.

Available Plugins in the Marketplace

The phuryn/pm-skills repository maintains nine distinct plugins:

1. pm-toolkit: Core product management utilities and frameworks
2. pm-product-strategy: Strategic planning and vision documentation skills
3. pm-product-discovery: User research and problem validation workflows
4. pm-market-research: Competitive analysis and market sizing commands
5. pm-data-analytics: Data interpretation and metric definition skills
6. pm-marketing-growth: Growth strategies and marketing playbooks
7. pm-go-to-market: Launch planning and execution frameworks
8. pm-execution: PRD writing, OKR setting, and roadmap creation
9. pm-ai-shipping: AI-assisted development and shipping workflows

Each plugin follows the structure documented in pm-toolkit/README.md, where skills are organized as discrete knowledge units and commands serve as the interface layer.

Using PM Skills Commands After Installation

After completing the installation, invoke commands using the slash syntax directly in Claude Code. The commands leverage the skills installed from your selected plugins:

# 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

These commands are defined within the individual plugin directories and become available immediately after the corresponding plugin installation completes.

Key Repository Files for Reference

When working with the PM Skills Marketplace, these files contain the authoritative implementation details:

• README.md: Contains the installation instructions under the Claude Code (CLI) heading and the complete plugin enumeration under Available Plugins
• CLAUDE.md: Provides official guidance for Claude agents and version-specific notes for Claude Code integration
• pm-toolkit/README.md: Demonstrates the concrete layout of a core plugin, showing how skill files and command definitions are organized
• pm-product-strategy/README.md: Illustrates how strategy-focused plugins structure their knowledge domains
• pm-execution/README.md: Documents execution-oriented skills including PRD generation, OKR creation, and roadmap planning

Summary

• Register first: Use claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills to enable the marketplace source
• Install selectively: Use claude plugin install <name>@pm-skills to pull specific plugins containing skills and commands
• Nine plugins available: The marketplace includes pm-toolkit, pm-product-strategy, pm-execution, and six others covering the full product lifecycle
• Immediate usage: After installation, invoke slash commands like /discover and /strategy directly in Claude Code
• Reference files: Check README.md and CLAUDE.md in the repository root for authoritative documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install all nine PM Skills plugins?

No, you can install only the plugins relevant to your current needs. Each plugin operates independently, so you might install pm-toolkit and pm-execution for daily operations, then add pm-go-to-market later when preparing for a launch.

Where does Claude Code store the installed PM Skills plugins?

The CLI pulls the skill files and command definitions into your local Claude Code environment after you run the install commands. The marketplace metadata remains registered globally, while plugin contents are loaded per project or globally depending on your Claude Code configuration.

Can I use PM Skills Marketplace commands alongside standard Claude Code features?

Yes, the slash commands from PM Skills (such as /write-prd or /discover) function alongside native Claude Code commands. The skills integrate into the existing CLI interface without replacing or disabling default Claude Code functionality.

What should I do if a plugin installation fails?

Verify that you registered the marketplace correctly using claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/pm-skills, then check that you're using the correct installation syntax with the @pm-skills suffix. For version-specific troubleshooting, consult the CLAUDE.md file in the repository, which contains guidance for Claude agents and known compatibility notes.
