Choose pm-skills if…
- Tags unique to pm-skills: codex-platform, plugins, product-management.
- When you need comprehensive support across multiple phases of product management on the Codex platform
When NOT to use pm-skills
- Avoid if you require specific Claudia Code slash commands, as they do not function identically in Codex
- Not suitable for users who prefer to cherry-pick individual skills rather than installing whole plugins
Choose agents if…
- Tags unique to agents: agent-skills, agentic-ai, automation, prompt-engineering.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- You are working specifically within the ecosystems of Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, or Gemini CLI, as it provides tailored plugins for these environments
When NOT to use agents
- You are working solely within a niche environment that isn't one of the supported platforms (like Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc.) because it may not offer compatible plugins or extensive support
- Your project requirements do not include interoperability between multiple AI agents and you only need to leverage functionalities from a single AI agent with a robust in-built plugin ecosystem
