Generates an evidence-calibrated product or marketing persona using the canonical v2.5 output contract. Use when shaping artifact perspective, stress-testing decisions, or framing product and GTM strategy.
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
<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Persona Builder This skill produces decision-usable personas from one canonical template pack. ## Supported Modes - `product` - `marketing` - `buyer` as input alias for `marketing` (output remains labeled `Marketing`) Generated `agent` mode is out of scope for `v2.5.0`. If the user asks for `agent`, ask them to choose `product` or `marketing`. ## When to Use - Before drafting PM or GTM artifacts that need a clear persona viewpoint - When teams disagree on priorities and need behavior-grounded tradeoff framing - When assumptions and confidence levels must be explicit for decision review - When tailoring downstream work (PRD, stories, launch, messaging, enablement) to a specific user or buyer profile ## When NOT to Use - You need the job context rather than the person -> use `define-jtbd-canvas`; the canvas captures what customers hire products to do, the persona captures who they are - You are mapping internal stakeholders, not customers -> use `discover-stakeholder-summary` …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/foundation-persona@sha256:e11bba6aa2fa9690The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.6.1, 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.
