At a glance

Convert a project complexity diagnosis into a practical intervention plan.

  • Works in 7 steps: Read the complexity diagnosis,… → Extract hotspots, TOE category,… → If key inputs are missing, infer… → …
  • Provides a TOE findings table
  • SKILL.md covers Core Workflow, Input Rules, Scope and References, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Project Complexity Action Planner is an agent skill from maiobarbero/my-ai-workflow. Convert a project complexity diagnosis into a practical intervention plan. Use after project-complexity-mapper, especially when the user provides a TOE findings table, quadrant chart, hotspot quadrants, management-fit table, or handoff table and wants actions, interventions, sequencing, owners, or next steps.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/handoff-input.md`, `references/intervention-catalog.md` and `references/output-format.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management.

When your agent uses it

  • Provides a TOE findings table
  • Hotspot quadrants
  • Management-fit table
  • Handoff table and wants actions

Example prompts

  • “/project-complexity-action-planner”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the complexity diagnosis, especially the Handoff, Management Fit,
  2. Extract hotspots, TOE category, severity, quadrant, and recommended fit.
  3. If key inputs are missing, infer cautiously and mark assumptions.
  4. Ask at most one clarification question when the missing answer would change
  5. Convert each hotspot into controlling and/or connecting interventions.
  6. Sequence actions by urgency, dependency, and lifecycle phase.
  7. Output the plan using references/output-format.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7748c8e. 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

Project Complexity Action Planner loads about 932 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~932
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

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 407 words (~932 tokens).

“Turn the output of project-complexity-mapper into a concise, actionable management intervention plan. This skill does not diagnose complexity from scratch. It consumes the previous diagnosis and turns it into actions.”
