The Toolkit
From copy-paste to full agent workflow
Start wherever makes sense for where you are today. Everything here is designed to grow with you.
Level 1
Prompt cards - no setup required
Each card below is a complete prompt designed to be copied in full and pasted into any AI chat tool. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini - it does not matter. Paste the card, follow the conversation, get something useful.
Every card gathers context by asking you questions first, then produces a specific output. You do not need to prepare anything before using one.
Problem Shaping
Problem statement
What this does
This helps you turn a messy problem into a clear, structured problem statement. By the end, you'll have a copyable draft you can use as a brief for next steps.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat. The AI will ask follow-up questions one at a time before drafting anything. Review the draft, say what's off, and let it iterate until it feels accurate.
Research
User research synthesis
What this does
This helps you turn messy research inputs into clear findings you can act on. By the end, you'll have a structured synthesis with patterns, quotes, surprises, and implied user jobs.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat, then paste your raw research when asked. The AI will process the material and return a structured synthesis you can review and refine. If anything feels off, ask it to revise specific sections.
Documentation
PRD draft
What this does
This helps you create a lightweight first-draft PRD from a problem you're working on. By the end, you'll have a structured document you can refine and share.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat. The AI will ask you questions before drafting so it can tailor the PRD to your context. Review the draft, answer open questions, and iterate.
Decision Making
Prioritisation pressure test
What this does
This helps you stress-test a prioritization decision and reach a clear recommendation. By the end, you'll have a reasoned call with the assumptions made explicit.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat and describe the decision you're facing. The AI will ask targeted questions before recommending anything. Review the reasoning and push back where needed to refine the recommendation.
Communication
Stakeholder prep
What this does
This helps you prepare for a high-stakes stakeholder conversation. By the end, you'll have a clear opener, likely objections with responses, and one question that can move the conversation forward.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat. The AI will ask a few questions one by one to understand your situation before drafting preparation notes. Review and adjust the language so it sounds like you.
Decision Making
Ship or kill
What this does
This helps you make a clear decision on whether to ship, iterate, or kill a piece of work. By the end, you'll have a recommendation and a reusable decision log entry.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat and describe what has been built or proposed. The AI will ask targeted follow-up questions before giving a verdict. Review the recommendation and adjust assumptions if needed.
Research
Competitor analysis
What this does
This helps you analyze a competitor in a way that is directly useful for product decisions. By the end, you'll have a structured view of strengths, weaknesses, and the gap that matters for your context.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat and answer the opening question. The AI may ask one clarifying question, then it will produce a structured analysis and a practical implication for your product. Review it and ask for deeper detail where needed.
Reflection
Weekly reflection
What this does
This helps you run a quick end-of-week reflection that creates clarity and a useful written record. By the end, you'll have a short summary you can save and use to start next week well.
How to use it
Paste the full prompt below into a new chat at the end of your week. The AI will guide you through a short conversation and then produce a concise summary. Review it, edit if needed, and save it.
These cards are maintained in the open source repository. New cards are added as the toolkit grows.
Level 2
Set up your AI workspace once, use it forever
A Claude Project is a persistent workspace where you set your instructions and context once. Every conversation that follows starts with Claude already knowing your product, your users, and how you like to work.
Without this, every AI session starts from scratch. With it, the quality of your output compounds over time as the context gets richer.
The setup guide takes about 20 minutes and requires nothing beyond a Claude account and the ability to copy and paste.
Persistent behaviour
Claude asks good questions and evaluates output properly, every session
Loaded context
Your product and user context is always available without re-explaining it
Better output immediately
The first session after setup will be noticeably better than before
Works with ChatGPT too
The same approach is documented for ChatGPT custom instructions
Level 3
Your first session in an AI editor
An AI-native editor lets you describe a problem and watch a working solution take shape - without writing any code yourself. You describe what you want, the editor builds it, and you evaluate and iterate.
If that sounds intimidating, the first session guide is written for exactly that feeling. It covers installation, opening your first project, running your first session, and evaluating the output. Every step is written for someone who has never opened a code editor before.
You are not becoming a developer. You are using a developer's tool to build things you could not build before.
Install Cursor
Download and install in under five minutes. No account needed to start.
Open the starter project
Download the pre-configured starter project. Your IDE settings and context template are already in place.
Run your first session
Follow the guide to run a complete workflow: describe, build, evaluate, iterate.

The full toolkit
The complete ai-pm-toolkit includes everything above plus the full prompt library, skills, workflows, templates, slash commands, MCP server, and npx CLI. It is open source, MIT licensed, and designed to work across any AI tool.
The most underrated skill in AI-native PM work isn't prompting, it's context. These templates help you capture who you're building for, what's been tried, what good looks like, and what constraints actually matter. So your agent starts from signal, not scratch.
Reusable prompts organised by workflow stage: shaping ambiguous problems, running first-pass prototypes, synthesising user research, evaluating output, making ship-or-kill calls. Every prompt is designed for a specific moment, not general use.
Instruction sets that change how your agent thinks across an entire session. Load the problem-shaping skill and your agent stops accepting vague briefs. Load the evaluation skill and it starts asking whether output actually solves the problem, not just whether it runs.
End-to-end playbooks for the situations PMs hit repeatedly: going from idea to working prototype in an afternoon, converting research into a spec an agent can act on, making a prioritisation call with limited data. Each one references the right prompts and skills at each step.
The prompts and skills above, wired up as slash commands for Claude Code and Cursor. Type /clarify-ambiguity and your agent opens a guided problem-shaping conversation. Type /build-session and it assembles your skill, context, and task into a ready-to-use session brief. No copy-pasting required.
A Python MCP server that exposes the entire toolkit as callable tools inside Claude Code. The build_session tool is the headline: one call assembles your skill, context docs, and prompt into a complete session opener. The infrastructure version of what the slash commands do manually.
Don't want to clone the repo? Run npx ai-pm-toolkit list prompts to browse what's available, npx ai-pm-toolkit search "clarify" to find what you need, and npx ai-pm-toolkit copy prompts/problem-shaping/clarify-ambiguity to put it straight on your clipboard. The full toolkit, accessible in under 60 seconds.
