Why PDM Skills Marketplace?

Generic AI gives you text. PDM Skills Marketplace gives you delivery structure.

Each skill encodes a proven delivery framework — release readiness, dependency mapping, risk registers, DORA metrics — and walks you through it step by step. You get the rigor of industry-standard delivery practices (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, DORA) built into your daily workflow.

The result: predictable delivery, not just faster documents.

How It Works (Skills, Commands, Plugins)

Skills are the building blocks. Each skill gives Claude domain knowledge, analytical frameworks, or a guided workflow for a specific delivery task. Skills load automatically when relevant — no explicit invocation needed.

Commands are user-triggered workflows invoked with /command-name. They chain one or more skills into an end-to-end process. For example, /plan-release chains: scope-definition → dependency-map → risk-register → milestone-plan → launch-checklist.

Plugins group related skills and commands by delivery domain. Installing the marketplace gives you all 8 plugins at once.

Commands suggest relevant next commands after completion — just follow the prompts.
