- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
The agent owns coordination, acceptance and evidence, while implementation stays in the thread and environment you selected. It reports at meaningful checkpoints and keeps working between them. The whole workflow sits in one file, with no companion files or bundled scripts, and it adapts to the tools actually available. A status-only question does not authorize code changes or ongoing work.
It begins by checking what it can reach: project context and branches, the implementation thread, building and launching the product, capturing screenshots and logs, and updating the private project Space. The skill grants no access itself, and an access denial must never be bypassed by another route. The agent then writes a project contract with audience, required features, constraints and non-goals, completion criteria and authorized operations, asking a focused question only when a missing choice would change the outcome. Progress, decisions, screenshots and versioned QA evidence are kept in the Space.
When your agent uses it
- Asking an agent to manage a build from your vision through to a tested release
- Coordinating an implementation thread with independent testing of each build
- Keeping a private record of progress, decisions and QA evidence for a project
Example prompts
- “Manage my habit tracker app to completion, using the existing implementation thread.”
- “Drive this indie game project through small milestones and test each exact build before reporting.”
- “Set up the project contract for the portfolio site and list what you still need from me.”
Requirements
- Access to the project's implementation thread, repository and build environment
- A private project Space the agent can read and update
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Check capabilities and establish the project contract
- Preserve authority and project ownership
- Build a small, testable roadmap
- Coordinate implementation and obtain an exact build
- Independently test the actual product
- Close the fix-and-retest loop
- Maintain the private project Space as work happens
- Communicate, continue, and stop at the agreed outcome
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3180b82. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Milestone Project Manager loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,254 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,254 words (~4,289 tokens).
“Drive the authorized project toward the user's agreed outcome. Own coordination, acceptance, and evidence. Keep implementation in the user's selected thread and environment, and keep the user informed at meaningful checkpoints while continuing work between them.”
