Getting Started
Three ways to install PM Pilot, from zero to full Claude Code power.
Zero install (copy-paste)
The simplest path. No setup, no terminal, no account beyond whatever AI tool you already use.
- Open claude.ai, ChatGPT, or Gemini
- Find the skill file you want on GitHub
- Open it, copy the contents, paste it into your chat as context before your request
That's it. You can use any PM Pilot skill this way. It works today.
The limitation: you paste context every time. The skill doesn't persist between sessions. For occasional use, this is fine. For daily use, move to Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop (5 minutes)
Skills persist between sessions. No terminal needed.
- Download the Claude Desktop app
- Open Settings and go to Projects
- Create a project called "PM Pilot"
- Paste the skill file content into the project instructions
Now the skill is available every time you open that project. You don't re-paste anything. This is the right setup if you want the skills available daily without touching a terminal.
Claude Code CLI (full power)
This is what PM Pilot was built for. Live Jira, Slack threads, calendar, meeting transcripts. The skills don't just write text, they pull real data from your connected systems.
git clone https://github.com/mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot.git
cd pm-pilot
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills ~/.claude/rules ~/.claude/agents ~/.claude/commands ~/.claude/memory
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r rules/* ~/.claude/rules/
cp -r agents/* ~/.claude/agents/
cp -r commands/* ~/.claude/commands/
cp memory/MEMORY-TEMPLATE.md ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.mdThen run /configure-pm-pilot inside Claude Code and you're set.
What you unlock with Claude Code: /meeting-prep reads your actual calendar. /weekly-status pulls your real Jira sprint. /people-sync writes to your stakeholder files. The copy-paste version generates plausible text; the Claude Code version uses your actual data.
What to do next
Start with meeting-prep. It's the skill that shows results immediately.
