product-manager-prompts
A curated collection of 96 copy-paste AI prompts for product managers, organized by workflow (execution, workshops, market research, storytelling). Designed to work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI assistants without requiring code or custom setup.

What product-manager-prompts is
MIT-licensed prompt repository written in Python, containing templated prompts for product management tasks including PRD generation, user story writing, competitive analysis, and market sizing. Includes Jinja2-templated prompts for loop-based and agent-based execution patterns.

Best use cases
Implementation considerations
- Every prompt includes hidden HTML comments (instructor's notes). Click 'Raw' in GitHub to see them; the AI will ignore them, but they explain design rationale.
- Prompts in `/loops/` use Jinja2 notation for control flow; these are designed for agent/automation frameworks, not direct chat use.
- Market intelligence prompts require an AI with web search or retrieval capabilities; standard ChatGPT (free tier) cannot execute them without manual research.
- Facilitation prompts are designed for one-pass interaction; expect to run them iteratively in real product work, not as single-shot solutions.
- No database or state management is provided. Checkpoint outputs (e.g., PRD sections, research findings) must be managed outside the prompt system.
When to avoid it — and what to weigh
- You need a production SaaS tool — This is a prompt repository, not software. You copy prompts; you do not deploy this as an application. Expect to maintain custom integrations if building agents.
- Your team cannot read and adapt templates — Every prompt requires human interpretation, customization, and context injection. This is not a black-box solution; it is a starting library.
- You need version control or audit trails — Prompts are static text; using them in chat leaves no built-in audit trail or version history unless you manage it separately.
- Your AI model choice is restricted or non-standard — Prompts are optimized for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Niche or older models may not handle the template structures as intended.
License & commercial use
MIT License. Permits commercial use, modification, and distribution with attribution. No warranty; no liability constraint. Clear permissive OSI license; commercial use is permitted.
MIT License explicitly permits commercial use. You may use these prompts in a paid product or service without restriction, provided you retain the MIT notice. No licensing fee or proprietary claim. Recommended: review your AI vendor's terms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to ensure their ToS permits your downstream use.

Prompts do not access systems, databases, or credentials directly. Primary considerations: (1) Prompts instruct AI to search the web and cite sources—validate search results for accuracy before acting on them. (2) Market intelligence and competitive analysis prompts may encourage collection of competitor data; ensure compliance with terms of service and data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.). (3) No built-in controls for PII or sensitive data in your prompt inputs; users are responsible for redacting before pasting into public AI assistants. (4) Agent-based deployments should implement access controls and audit logging external to this repo.
Alternatives to consider
Prompt Engineering frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel)
If you need state management, retrieval chains, and agent orchestration, these frameworks provide the runtime layer that this prompt repository does not.
Commercial prompt marketplaces (PromptBase, Hugging Face, OpenAI Marketplace)
For pre-built, versioned, supported prompts with licensing and monetization support. Trade-off: less control, higher cost, curated quality.
Product management tools with AI features (Productboard, Aha, Miro with AI plugins)
Integrated suites that embed AI prompting into a full PM workflow (roadmaps, feedback loops, analytics). Trade-off: less flexibility, vendor lock-in, higher cost.
