Real A/B run: unguided prioritization was a 3-sentence gut call, while the skill produced a scored RICE table, then explicitly caught and overrode RICE's own reach-bias flaw (raw scoring ranked cosmetic dark mode above a deal-blocking SSO feature) exactly as its own Step 4 instructs -- a concrete, defensible improvement, not just more words.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Prioritization Matrix does

Scores and ranks features or initiatives using RICE, ICE, weighted scoring, or a value-vs-effort 2x2, then produces a tiered backlog (Must/Should/Could/Won't) with rationale and flagged assumptions. Triggers on sprint planning, roadmap trade-off, and 'what should we build first' requests; fully self-contained (pure reasoning, no external API), so it runs to completion with no signup or account needed.

How to install Prioritization Matrix

git clone https://github.com/aroyburman-codes/pm-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r pm-skills/skills/prioritization-matrix ~/.claude/skills/prioritization-matrix

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Prioritization Matrix

  • /prioritization-matrix Turns a raw feature list into a scored, tiered, stakeholder-ready backlog using RICE/ICE/weighted scoring

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Help me score these three roadmap features using RICE
  • Rank our backlog items by value versus effort for sprint planning
  • Which of these initiatives should we build first this quarter?

How do I install Prioritization Matrix?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Prioritization Matrix with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
