Claude Plugin Tools (35)

get_pm_playbook

How to operate as a product manager on AIOProductOS. No arguments and no side effects — returns the same operating guide as plain text every call (deterministic): how to ground in the product brain, keep work welded to the spine (insight→feature→task→outcome), prioritise on evidence (affected accounts + MRR + reach), and what 'done' means. Call it FIRST, before planning or prioritising, to load the house rules the other tools assume.

whoami

Show the connected AIOProductOS identity (org, member) AND the org's products (id, name, is_primary). Read-only; returns the identity plus the product list. For a multi-product org, call this first to get the product ids, then pass one as `product_id` to any product-scoped tool; omit product_id to use the primary.

pm_meta

List the org's PM lists, statuses, members, and features as id+name pairs. Read-only; returns arrays for resolution only (list_features carries the richer catalogue). Call it to turn a name into an id before create_task / update_task — never guess an id.
