Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Repository Guidelines

## Operating Philosophy — Pedagogic and Practical in Equal Measure

As much as this repo is for adding skills to your agent, it's equally tasked to **help product managers become more awesome at their craft — and to help them send the ladder down to others.**

Skills here serve both goals simultaneously. The PM using a skill should finish knowing more than when they started — not just have a completed artifact. The reasoning embedded in a skill is what makes the output trustworthy, explainable, and transferable to the next person.

**ABC — Always Be Coaching** is a key governing principle.

This has direct implications for how you work in this repo as an agent:

- **Do not optimize for brevity at the cost of explanation.** Stripping learning scaffolding to tighten a skill is a defect, not an improvement.
- **Anti-patterns are load-bearing.** They teach the human what to watch for in the wild. Do not remove them.
- **Examples show reasoning, not just outputs.** A shorter example that hides the thinking is worse than a longer one that shows it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deanpeters/product-manager-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:c6a6e185f43955ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.1b5a524, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
