Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management at 3114dbe33f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The shape-up skill is a specialized plugin for AI agents designed to assist with product management tasks. It leverages the Shape Up methodology to help teams plan, scope, and execute work in fixed-time cycles without constant context switching. This tool streamlines the transition from idea generation to structured project delivery by enforcing disciplined planning phases.

When to use it

  • Initiating a new product feature or initiative that requires clear boundaries and a defined timeline.
  • Breaking down complex requirements into manageable, time-boxed batches for your development team.
  • Aligning stakeholders on scope before work begins to prevent mid-cycle changes and interruptions.
  • Generating structured plans that adhere to the "Shape Up" philosophy of 6-week cycles and batch planning.

Key capabilities

  • Generates comprehensive project plans based on Shape Up principles.
  • Facilitates the batching of work into fixed-duration cycles.
  • Helps define clear scope boundaries to minimize change requests during execution.
  • Assists in organizing product management workflows for teams adopting this specific methodology.

Example prompts

  • "Help me shape up a new dashboard feature using the Shape Up methodology, including batch planning and scope definition."
  • "Create a 6-week cycle plan for our upcoming release, ensuring all tasks are batched and scoped correctly."
  • "Draft a proposal for a product initiative that follows the 'shape-up' approach to avoid mid-cycle interruptions."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is specifically tailored for teams already familiar with or willing to adopt the Shape Up methodology; it may not be suitable for traditional agile sprints. Ensure your team understands the strict time-boxing rules before relying on the generated plans, as the tool enforces these constraints to maintain effectiveness.
