PM Skills vs writing your own prompts

Your own prompts know your context; the library knows the failure modes. The answer is both — and we built the import path.

Criterion	PM Skills	The alternative
Startup cost	Zero: 526 skills now	Hours per prompt, compounding maintenance
Failure modes	2,500+ anti-patterns baked in from practice	You discover them one bad deliverable at a time
Your context	Bring it: CONTEXT.md, the Brain, Skill Remix, `import cursor\|cline` converts your existing rules	Fully yours by definition
Team consistency	Same skill = same structure for everyone; org server for private libraries	Every teammate's prompts drift apart

Where the alternative wins: Where DIY wins: workflows unique to your team that no public library should contain — which is why `skillify`, `import`, and the private-skills overlay exist. Steal our structure, keep your secrets.
