Project Management Skills

The PM operating system for AI coding assistants. Discovery → delivery → career, with Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence integrations.

★ The deepest and most-used domain in Claude Skills. PMs from APM to CPO use these skills daily to ship faster with fewer meetings.

---

Why PMs choose this

• 54 production-ready skills covering every stage: discovery, definition, execution, delivery, launch, career growth
• Portable artifacts — generate once, push to Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence, or GitHub Projects
• Real automation, not prompts — 15+ Python tools you can pipe into CI, scripts, MCP servers
• Exec-ready outputs — PRDs, roadmaps, status updates that don't read like AI slop
• Career track included — interview prep, career ladder, onboarding, 1:1s (no PM tool covers this)

Worked examples

Every skill ships with a worked example. Inside each skill folder is examples/<scenario>.md with a realistic scenario, the skill's workflow applied, and the finished artifact (full PRD, full post-mortem, full status update, etc.) PMs can copy and adapt.

Plus end-to-end multi-skill scenarios in the top-level examples/:

• feature-end-to-end.md — Idea → release notes in 6 commands
• More scenarios in examples/README.md

A few highlight per-skill examples:

Skill	Example artifact
execution/create-prd/	Full 8-section PRD for "Shared Dashboards"
execution/ai-feature-prd/	PRD for "AI Meeting Notes Summarizer" (eval spec + guardrails + model fallback)
execution/post-mortem/	Blameless RCA for a 47-minute payment outage
execution/status-update-generator/	Weekly exec update for "Acme Search Platform"
execution/activation-funnel/	AARRR diagnosis for a freemium SaaS with poor day-7 retention
discovery/interview-synthesis/	8-interview synthesis → opportunity solution tree
career/pm-interview-prep/	Full CIRCLES answer for a Stripe product-sense question

---

Output evaluation harness

Twelve of the artifact-generating PM skills now have deterministic eval rubrics at evals/ — scores any markdown artifact 0-100 against the skill's red flags and success criteria. No LLM in the loop, stdlib only.

# Score all worked examples
python evals/run.py --all --threshold 70

# Score one skill against its own example
python evals/run.py --skill post-mortem

# Score a custom artifact
python evals/run.py --skill create-prd --artifact ./my-prd.md

Skills with rubrics: create-prd, prfaq, ai-feature-prd, brainstorm-okrs, status-update-generator, post-mortem, north-star-metric, product-vision, pricing-prd, roadmap-communication, release-notes, customer-feedback-triage.

Use case: PMs paste their drafted artifact and get back specific failures ("Summary is 12 sentences, need 2-5", "Section 5 Market Segments not found", "Found forbidden buzzword: synergy"). Faster than a human review, catches form failures consistently.

---

Red flags (anti-pattern library) per skill

Every PM skill now ships with a references/red-flags.md file: 10-12 concrete anti-patterns with paired bad and good artifact snippets, plus a "How to catch it" check question. Use it before sharing your output to scan for the most common failures.

Examples of red flags caught:

• status-update-generator: "watermelon" status (green outside, red inside) — when the rationale sentence contradicts the color
• create-prd: solution-before-problem (Section 7 expands while Section 3 is one sentence)
• post-mortem: blame language ("Dev shipped a bad config") vs systemic framing ("Config validation lacked a pre-deploy step")
• brainstorm-okrs: output-as-KR ("Ship the feature") vs outcome-as-KR ("Increase weekly active teams by 30%")
• customer-feedback-triage: squeaky-wheel bias (the loudest customer's request leapfrogs the scored backlog)

See any skill's references/red-flags.md for the full library.

Runnable pipelines (chain multiple skills end-to-end)

Five pipelines/ at the repo root chain multiple PM skills into single-command flows:

Pipeline	Chains	Use case
pipelines/feature-end-to-end.py	identify-assumptions → brainstorm-experiments → pre-mortem → create-prd → brainstorm-okrs → prioritization-frameworks → release-notes	New feature from idea to launch
pipelines/weekly-cadence.py	jira/linear adapter → status-update + flow-metrics + dependency-map	Weekly exec status from real tracker data
pipelines/customer-discovery.py	interview-synthesis → identify-assumptions → brainstorm-experiments → north-star-metric	Process a batch of customer interviews
pipelines/post-mortem-flow.py	post-mortem → pre-mortem (for follow-ups) → dependency-map	After an incident
pipelines/launch-coordination.py	beta-program → feature-flag-strategy → launch-playbook → release-notes	Coordinated GA launch

python pipelines/feature-end-to-end.py --demo --output ./my-feature
# Produces: 01-assumptions.md, 02-experiments.md, 03-pre-mortem.md,
#           04-prd.md, 05-okrs.md, 06-priorities.md, 07-release-notes.md,
#           summary.md

Live data adapters

PM tools all consume JSON. To remove the "first get the data" friction, ship adapters that pull from real APIs:

# Jira -> status-update-generator
python tools/adapters/jira_to_json.py --jql "sprint in openSprints()" --format status-update \
  | python project-management/execution/status-update-generator/scripts/status_generator.py --input -

# Linear -> cycle-time-analyzer
python tools/adapters/linear_to_json.py --team ENG --cycle previous --format cycle-time \
  | python project-management/execution/cycle-time-analyzer/scripts/flow_metrics.py --input -

# Notion -> customer-feedback-triage
python tools/adapters/notion_to_json.py --database-id <uuid> --format feedback \
  | python project-management/execution/customer-feedback-triage/scripts/feedback_triage.py --input -

Stdlib only, env-var auth (JIRA_TOKEN, LINEAR_API_KEY, NOTION_TOKEN). See tools/adapters/README.md.
