This skill is a reference guide. When you ask Claude to choose a prioritization method, compare RICE and ICE, or explain how a framework works, it uses the formulas, "best for" notes and key insights in SKILL.md. It recommends Opportunity Score for customer problems, and ICE and RICE for ideas and initiatives.

It has one file, SKILL.md, with no scripts. It does not ask for any tool or key. The skill links four templates (a PDF, Google Slides and two Google Sheets) and three productcompass.pm articles, which are links for you to open, not files it bundles.

Good for

Product managers choosing between RICE, ICE and Opportunity Score
Teams ranking a backlog or a set of customer problems
People learning how each framework works and when to use it
Founders who need a quick, defensible way to rank ideas

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route. The pm-execution plugin installs 16 skills and 11 commands (counted from its folder in the repo tree, which has no hooks or MCP config files). The skills-only routes install just this skill. The README advises installing whole plugins because a workflow usually relies on several skills that ship together.

Questions

What does the prioritization-frameworks skill do?

It gives Claude a reference for 9 prioritization frameworks, with formulas and guidance on when to use each. Claude then helps you choose one and apply it to your backlog or problem list.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The README recommends installing whole plugins; this skill is in the pm-execution plugin. A skills-only command is also listed.

Which framework does it recommend?

Opportunity Score for prioritizing customer problems, and ICE for quick prioritization of ideas. It also marks RICE as the choice for ideas at scale. Kano is described as a way to understand expectations, not to prioritize.

Does it work in Codex or Cursor?

The README documents a Codex plugin route and lists Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Kiro as skills-only copies. Plugin slash commands do not run outside Claude, per the README.

Does it need an API key or scripts?

The skill is one SKILL.md file with no scripts, and it names no keys or tools.

Is it safe?

The skill is one text file with no scripts, so the skill file itself only changes how Claude answers. The plugin route adds 16 skills and 11 commands, so check what you are installing. The templates it links open in your browser from Google Drive and Sheets.

Does it replace the prioritize-features skill?

No. The pm-skills README lists prioritize-features and prioritize-assumptions as separate skills in the product-discovery plugin. This one is a framework reference.
