skene-growth

A CLI toolkit for analyzing codebases through the lens of Product-Led Growth (PLG) — detecting growth features, revenue leakage, and generating actionable growth plans.

What skene-growth does

  • Analyzes your codebase to detect tech stack, growth features, and revenue leakage patterns
  • Generates a growth manifest — structured JSON output documenting your product's growth surface area
  • Creates growth plans — a Council of Growth Engineers produces 3-5 high-impact growth loops
  • Builds implementation prompts that you can send directly to Cursor, Claude, or display in your terminal
  • Provides an MCP server exposing 12 tools for AI assistants
  • Supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, LM Studio, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Core workflow

# 1. Create a config file
uvx skene-growth config --init

# 2. Set up your LLM provider and API key interactively
uvx skene-growth config

# 3. Analyze your codebase
uvx skene-growth analyze .

# 4. Generate a growth plan
uvx skene-growth plan

# 5. Build an implementation prompt
uvx skene-growth build

Key concepts

Growth manifest (growth-manifest.json) — The primary output of the analyze command. A structured JSON file containing your project's tech stack, existing growth features, growth opportunities, and revenue leakage issues.

Growth template (growth-template.json) — A custom PLG template generated alongside the manifest, with lifecycle stages and metrics tailored to your business type.

Growth plan (growth-plan.md) — A markdown document produced by the plan command. Contains 3-5 selected high-impact growth loops with implementation roadmaps, metrics, and week-by-week timelines.

Growth loops — Individual loop definitions (JSON) generated by the build command. Each loop includes file/function requirements, integration points, telemetry specs, verification commands, and success metrics.
