What prioritize-features does

The skill reviews a feature backlog and selects five priorities. It first clarifies the product objective and success metrics, then scores each idea for impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment. The result includes a ranked list, a short rationale, trade-offs, and reasons for deferring the remaining ideas.

It can read and analyze spreadsheets, backlogs, and opportunity assessments when those files are provided. For customer problems, it points to Opportunity Score; for initiatives, it uses ICE, while RICE adds Reach as a separate factor. Prepare the product objective, desired outcomes, and feature ideas first. Otherwise, the scoring has no working context.

The skill can be installed for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. In Claude Code, the installed file is ~/.claude/skills/prioritize-features/SKILL.md.

What it helps with

  • rank a backlog of feature ideas
  • choose five initiatives to pursue
  • compare impact with development effort
  • surface uncertainty and strategic fit
  • explain why ideas were deferred

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use the `prioritize-features` skill: the product objective is to increase activation, and the success metric is the activated-user rate. Review this backlog and choose five priorities.
  • Read `backlog.xlsx`, score each idea for impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment, then produce a ranked list.
  • Compare these features with ICE, show the trade-offs, and explain why the remaining ideas were deferred.

description: "Prioritize a backlog of feature ideas based on impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment with top 5 recommendations. Use when prioritizing a feature backlog, making scope decisions, or ranking product ideas."

## Prioritize Feature Backlog

Evaluate and rank a backlog of feature ideas to identify the top 5 to pursue.

### Context

You are helping prioritize features for **$ARGUMENTS**.

If the user provides files (spreadsheets, backlogs, opportunity assessments), read and analyze them directly.

### Domain Context

For framework selection guidance, see the `prioritization-frameworks` skill. Key recommendations:

**Opportunity Score** (Dan Olsen, *The Lean Product Playbook*) is recommended for evaluating customer problems: Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1. High Importance + low Satisfaction = best opportunities. Prioritize **problems (opportunities)**, not solutions.

**ICE** is recommended for quick scoring of initiatives: Impact (Opportunity Score × # Customers) × Confidence × Ease. **RICE** adds Reach as a separate factor for larger teams.

### Instructions

The user will describe their product objective, desired outcomes, and provide feature ideas. Work through these steps:

1. **Understand priorities**: Confirm the product objective and success metrics.

2. **Evaluate each feature** against:
   - **Impact**: How much does it move the needle on desired outcomes? Consider Opportunity Score if customer data is available.
   - **Effort**: How much development, design, and coordination is required?
   - **Risk**: How much uncertainty exists? What assumptions need testing?
   - **Strategic alignment**: How well does it fit the product vision and current goals?

3. **Recommend the top 5 features** with:
   - Clear ranking (1-5)
   - Brief rationale for each selection
   - Key trade-offs considered
   - What was deprioritized and why

4. **Present as a prioritization table** if helpful.

Think step by step. Save as markdown if the output is substantial.
