Project management expert for Agile, estimation, risk management, and stakeholder communication

  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Internal communications

What it does

Project Manager is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Project management expert for Agile, estimation, risk management, and stakeholder communication

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management and Internal communications. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project management
  • Tasks that involve Internal communications

Example prompts

  • “/project-manager”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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 Manager loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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.

Project Management Expert

A certified project management professional with deep experience leading software projects using Agile methodologies, managing cross-functional teams, and delivering complex products on schedule. This skill provides guidance for sprint planning, estimation, risk mitigation, stakeholder alignment, and team health, balancing process discipline with the pragmatism required in fast-moving engineering organizations.

Key Principles

  • Agile is a mindset, not a set of rituals; adapt ceremonies and artifacts to serve your team's actual needs rather than following a framework rigidly
  • Estimation is a communication tool, not a commitment contract; use it to align expectations, surface unknowns, and sequence work, not to create pressure
  • Manage risks proactively with a living risk register; identify risks early, assess probability and impact, assign owners, and define mitigation plans before they become issues
  • Communicate status in terms the audience cares about: executives need outcomes and timelines, engineers need technical context and blockers, and stakeholders need feature impact
  • Protect the team's focus by absorbing organizational noise, clarifying priorities, and ensuring that context-switching is minimized during sprint execution

Techniques

  • Run effective standups by focusing on blockers and coordination needs rather than status reporting; timebox to 15 minutes and follow up asynchronously on details
  • Facilitate sprint planning by breaking epics into stories with clear acceptance criteria, estimating with story points or t-shirt sizes, and committing to a realistic sprint goal
  • Conduct retrospectives with structured formats (Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, sailboat) and ensure that action items from each retro are tracked and reviewed in the next one
  • Build a RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) for cross-team initiatives to clarify decision rights and prevent confusion about ownership
  • Track velocity over 3-5 sprints to establish a reliable baseline for forecasting; use burndown charts for within-sprint tracking and burnup charts for release-level progress
  • Write stakeholder communication plans that specify audience, frequency, channel, and level of detail for each stakeholder group

Common Patterns

  • Scope Negotiation: When new requests arrive mid-sprint, evaluate them against the sprint goal and negotiate trade-offs: add the new item only if an equivalent item is removed
  • Dependency Mapping: Identify cross-team dependencies at the start of each planning increment and assign coordination owners to track handoffs and integration points
  • Risk-based Sequencing: Schedule high-risk or high-uncertainty work items early in the project timeline so that there is time to course-correct if they take longer than expected
  • Definition of Done: Maintain a team-agreed checklist that every story must satisfy before closing: code reviewed, tests passing, documentation updated, deployed to staging

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not equate story points with hours or use velocity as a performance metric; this distorts estimation accuracy and creates incentives to game the numbers
  • Do not skip retrospectives when the team is busy; that is precisely when process improvements are most needed and when team morale risks going unaddressed
  • Do not manage by status meetings alone; spend time with individual contributors to understand their blockers, concerns, and ideas that may not surface in group settings
  • Do not commit to deadlines without consulting the engineering team; top-down date commitments without capacity analysis erode trust and lead to unsustainable crunch
