start-here

phuryn/product-engineering Product & project management

start-here is a skill in phuryn/product-engineering, last changed 8 Nov 2026. It can touch credentials, run shell commands and reach the network — read the findings before installing.

From the author

Where to start, and what comes next, along the product lifecycle: from a new idea, new evidence, an agreed change, a bug or a release to the next step and the skill that does it. Started by name only: /product:start-here in Claude Code, $product:start-here in Codex.

How much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

That isn't proof the skill is harmless.

QAI Index

58/QI

We rate every listed skill the same way, from 0 to 100.

A guide to compare by, not a verdict on the skill.

How it's scored

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit bdb2389, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. phuryn/product-engineering/product/skills/start-here (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Or install the product plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make start-here.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/phuryn/product-engineering.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin bdb2389c7636f6615c37fd66dd8518986284ec01 &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- product/skills/start-here &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q bdb2389c7636f6615c37fd66dd8518986284ec01 &&out="$(mktemp -d)" &&cp -R "$tmp"/product/skills/start-here "$out"/start-here &&(cd "$out" && zip -qr - start-here) > start-here.zip &&rm -rf "$tmp" "$out"

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose start-here.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

Gemini CLI docs

Pinned to commit bdb2389, the one we checked.

OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie, Amp and Antigravity read .agents/skills in a project.

From your project's root folder:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/phuryn/product-engineering.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin bdb2389c7636f6615c37fd66dd8518986284ec01 &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- product/skills/start-here &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q bdb2389c7636f6615c37fd66dd8518986284ec01 &&mkdir -p .agents/skills &&mkdir .agents/skills/start-here &&cp -R "$tmp"/product/skills/start-here/. .agents/skills/start-here/ &&rm -rf "$tmp"

Or use the skills CLI from skills.sh. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. The skills CLI reports installs to skills.sh unless you set DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1.

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit bdb2389. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Touches credentials
It reads, asks for or contains keys, tokens, passwords or similar secrets.
SKILL.md:117 (opens in a new tab)
Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.
Reaches the network
It sends or fetches data over the internet, for example with curl, an HTTP library or a package install.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit bdb2389 · 11 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit bdb2389 on 11 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

How the check works Report an incorrect finding

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Warning
  Fields outside the spec: argument-hint (read by Claude Code and VS Code) and disable-model-invocation (read by Claude Code and VS Code). Uploads to the Claude apps and API, and the spec's validator, reject the file; most agents ignore these fields. O1
  Fix: Delete them for a portable skill, or keep them if you only target the agents that read them.
- Note
  The description doesn't say when to use the skill. D6
  Fix: Add a sentence such as "Use when …" naming the requests or files that should trigger it.
- Note
  There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
  Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadFails
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Error
  Upload and packaging fail on fields outside the spec: argument-hint and disable-model-invocation. O1
  Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.
- Note
  The description is 266 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
  Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Warning
  Fields outside the spec: argument-hint and disable-model-invocation. Codex ignores them; OpenAI doesn't say whether its upload accepts them. O1
  Fix: Delete them, or move your own data under metadata as text values.

discernment-nudgeAfter you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts, probe the reasoning or assumptions, and notice missing context. Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format. anthropics/skills 84/QI Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 17 Aug 2026	84/QI	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	17 Aug 2026
