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.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Prioritization Matrix skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from aroyburman-codes/pm-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Prioritization Matrix work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. 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.
- What is the Prioritization Matrix SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- 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.
