Claude Code as PM Workflow Infrastructure System

Most PMs hear “Claude Code” and think “that’s for engineers.” That’s the wrong frame. What 41 skills and 7 sub-agents actually give you is a team of specialists that execute PM workflows on command. Need competitive analysis? One prompt. PRD review? Delegated to a sub-agent that returns a summary without eating your main context window. The https://code.claude.com/docs file is the real unlock. It functions as an operating constitution that tells Claude how your specific workflows run, what your standards are, and when to invoke which skill. Every conversation starts pre-loaded with your accumulated decision-making framework. Here’s what took me 6 months to learn: the compounding isn’t in any single skill. It’s in the interactions between them. A sub-agent that researches feeds into a skill that writes, which triggers another that formats for the specific output channel. You build it once, and every future task runs through infrastructure you’ve already laid. Most “PM productivity tools” give you templates. This gives you execution capacity.
