167 Markdown recipes to stop Claude from freelancing
A community library of structured prompt templates that trades AI creativity for professional consistency across 18 job functions.

What it does
PM Claude Skills is a collection of 167 SKILL.md files—structured prompt templates you install into Claude Code. Each one constrains Claude to a specific professional output format: sprint plans, contract reviews, PR descriptions, investor updates, Substack scrapers, email triage. You pick a profession bundle (engineering, legal, sales, writers, etc.) or install the whole library via the Claude plugin marketplace.
The interesting bit
The project treats prompt engineering as infrastructure, not art. Every skill is a rigid contract: input format, output sections, tone constraints. The newer “agent templates” (four so far) chain these skills with connectors and subagents into multi-step workflows—think “pull Jira backlog, calculate capacity, draft sprint plan, score risks, post to Slack.” It’s the open-source counterpoint to Anthropic’s closed finance-agent templates.
Key highlights
- 167 skills across 18 professions, installable as 15 plugin bundles or a full marketplace add
- Four working agent templates with orchestration scripts, subagents, and smoke tests (Sprint, Discovery, Stakeholder Comms, Launch)
- v14.0.0 adds a Writers & Content Creators profession—Instagram downloader, AEO optimizer, thumbnail generator, “notes humanizer”
- Symlink install path for auto-updates from the git repo
- MIT licensed, actively versioned (currently 14.0.0)
Caveats
- Several skills depend on external APIs (Gemini for thumbnails, Chrome extension for NotebookLM) without clear fallback behavior
- The “8-10 hours saved per week” claim is stated but unsourced—no user study or methodology shown
- Agent templates require connector setup (Linear, Jira, Salesforce, etc.) that isn’t always one-click
Verdict
Worth a look if your team burns cycles on repetitive structured outputs and you want to standardize them. Skip it if you need open-ended research or creative generation—the whole point here is constraining Claude, not unleashing it.
