**The pm-product-strategy plugin provides 12 AI-driven skills and 5 slash commands for strategic product management, covering frameworks from Business Model Canvas to PESTLE analysis.**

The phuryn/pm-skills repository maintains the pm-product-strategy plugin, a collection of structured prompt templates designed for Claude AI that help product managers generate strategic frameworks and competitive analyses. Each skill resides in its own [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/SKILL.md) file under `pm-product-strategy/skills/`, while executable commands are defined as Markdown files in `pm-product-strategy/commands/`.

## Usage Examples

Invoke commands using the slash syntax in Claude AI. The plugin processes the command and returns structured strategic outputs.

### Running a Market Scan

```markdown
/pm-product-strategy:market-scan

```

This command executes four concurrent analyses:

- SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
- PESTLE analysis (political-economic-social-tech-legal-environmental)

- Ansoff Matrix mapping growth options

### Creating a Product Strategy

```markdown
/pm-product-strategy:strategy

```

Returns a nine-section Product Strategy Canvas covering vision, target segments, cost structure, value proposition, trade-offs, metrics, growth levers, capabilities, and defensibility.

```markdown
/pm-product-strategy:pricing

```

Outputs include:

- Recommended pricing model (subscription, tiered, usage-based)
- Competitive pricing benchmark table
- Estimated willingness-to-pay range
- Suggested pricing experiments (A/B test plan)

### Drafting a Value Proposition

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I install the pm-product-strategy plugin?

The plugin installs via the Claude AI plugin system. Place the repository in your Claude plugins directory or load it through the Claude interface, which reads the [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) manifest to register the available commands and skills.

### Can I use individual skills without the slash commands?

Yes. Each skill is independently accessible through its [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/SKILL.md) file in `pm-product-strategy/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`. You can reference these prompt templates directly in Claude conversations or integrate them into custom workflows outside the slash command structure.

### What is the difference between the Business Model Canvas and Lean Canvas skills?

The **business-model** skill generates a comprehensive nine-block Business Model Canvas suitable for established businesses, while the **lean-canvas** skill produces a problem-focused Lean Canvas optimized for startups and early-stage ventures, emphasizing metrics, unfair advantage, and customer segments.

### Which command should I use for competitive analysis?

Use `/pm-product-strategy:market-scan` for comprehensive competitive and environmental analysis. This command bundles Porter's Five Forces (industry competition), SWOT (internal/external factors), PESTLE (macro-environment), and Ansoff Matrix (growth strategies) into a single execution.
