## What it does

The skill structures product backlog ranking through the standard RICE framework. It walks through four variables for each candidate item: monthly user reach, an impact factor from 0.25 to 3, team confidence percentage, and engineering effort in person-months.

The tool computes scores via `(Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort`. It returns a sorted backlog with explicit trade-offs. It flags weak assumptions early. Effort estimates must factor in design, development, and testing together, or the resulting score will understate delivery costs.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --skill feature-prioritization-assistant -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --skill feature-prioritization-assistant -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --skill feature-prioritization-assistant -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management feature-prioritization-assistant
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --skill feature-prioritization-assistant -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --path skills/feature-prioritization-assistant
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/feature-prioritization-assistant/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management --skill feature-prioritization-assistant -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- Calculate RICE scores across backlog features
- Rank roadmap initiatives using data instead of intuition
- Justify prioritization trade-offs to product leadership
- Identify speculative ideas that need user discovery first

## Example prompts
- Help me prioritize dark mode, push notifications, and API access using RICE
- Run RICE evaluation on our mobile app and analytics dashboard with our current user metrics

## Domain Context

This skill implements a proven product management framework. The approach combines best practices from industry leaders and is designed for practical application in day-to-day PM work.

## Input Requirements

- Context about your product, feature, or problem
- Relevant data, research, or constraints (recommended but optional)
- Clear articulation of what you're trying to achieve


# Feature Prioritization Assistant

## When to Use
- Building your product roadmap
- Need to choose between multiple feature ideas
- Stakeholders are debating which features to build first
- Want to make data-driven prioritization decisions
- Need to justify prioritization decisions to leadership

## What This Skill Does
Helps you systematically evaluate and prioritize features using the RICE framework (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), providing scores and recommendations.

## Instructions
Help me prioritize these features using the RICE framework. For each feature, help me estimate:

1. **Reach**: How many users will this impact per month?
2. **Impact**: How much will this impact each user? (Scale: 0.25=minimal, 0.5=low, 1=medium, 2=high, 3=massive)
3. **Confidence**: How confident are we in our estimates? (Scale: 0-100%)
4. **Effort**: How many person-months will this take to build?

Then calculate the RICE score: (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort

Features to evaluate:
[List your features with any context you have]

## Best Practices
- Gather data on current user behavior before estimating Reach
- Base Impact on user research and pain point severity
- Be honest about Confidence levels - lower confidence for assumptions
- Include design, development, and testing time in Effort estimates
- Revisit estimates after initial discovery work
- Consider dependencies between features

## Example
**Input:** 5 features (notifications, dark mode, API access, mobile app, analytics dashboard)
**Output:** RICE scores calculated for each, ranked list with reasoning, recommendations on which to prioritize, and suggestions for validating assumptions on low-c...
