What it does

Project Management is an agent skill from seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills. Manages software projects end-to-end — decomposing work into tasks, tracking progress across sprints, generating status reports, and integrating with tools like Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, and Trello. Use when the user requests project management or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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, User stories and Sprint planning and agile. It works with GitHub and Jira. The repository describes itself as: 103 ready-to-use AI agent skills for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and other Agent Skills-compatible tools. Complete SKILL.md… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests project management
  • Provides relevant inputs for this workflow

Example prompts

  • “Use the project-management skill to manage software projects end-to-end — decomposing work into tasks, tracking progress across sprints, generating…”
  • “/project-management”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Project Context
  2. Decompose Work into Tasks
  3. Plan Sprints or Populate the Board
  4. Track Progress and Surface Blockers
  5. Manage Risks and Dependencies
  6. Generate Status Reports

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75865a5. 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 Management loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 941 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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

Project Management

This skill enables an AI agent to serve as a project management co-pilot for software teams. It covers the full lifecycle: breaking high-level goals into actionable tasks with acceptance criteria, estimating effort in story points, organizing work into sprints or Kanban boards, tracking progress with burndown data, identifying blockers and risks, and generating stakeholder-ready status reports. The agent integrates with Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, and Trello so that all changes are reflected in the team's actual project tracker.

Workflow

  1. Gather Project Context Collect the project name, team roster (with roles and capacity), high-level goals, key deadlines, and the preferred methodology (Scrum, Kanban, or a hybrid). If a project tracker is already in use, connect to its API and import the current backlog, labels, and sprint configuration so the agent starts from the existing state rather than a blank slate.

  2. Decompose Work into Tasks Break each high-level goal into epics, then into user stories, and finally into sub-tasks small enough to complete in one to two days. Write each user story in the standard format: "As a [role], I want [capability] so that [benefit]." Attach acceptance criteria as a checklist on every story. Identify dependencies between tasks and flag any that form a critical path. Assign story-point estimates using the Fibonacci scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) based on complexity, uncertainty, and effort.

  3. Plan Sprints or Populate the Board For Scrum teams, create a sprint with a start date, end date, and sprint goal. Pull stories from the top of the prioritized backlog until the team's velocity (historical average story points per sprint) is reached. For Kanban teams, enforce work-in-progress (WIP) limits per column and ensure the board columns match the team's workflow (e.g., Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done). Push the plan to the connected project tracker via its API.

  4. Track Progress and Surface Blockers Poll the project tracker on a configurable interval (default: daily). Calculate burndown and cumulative-flow metrics. Detect when a task has been "In Progress" longer than its estimate and flag it as at risk. Identify dependency chains where a blocked upstream task is stalling downstream work. Post a daily digest to the team's Slack or Teams channel summarizing completed items, in-progress items, and blockers.

  5. Manage Risks and Dependencies Maintain a risk register with each entry containing a description, likelihood (low/medium/high), impact (low/medium/high), an assigned owner, and a mitigation plan. When a new risk is identified — such as a team member going on leave or a third-party API deprecation — add it to the register and notify the project lead. Track cross-team dependencies by linking external issues and alerting when their status changes.

  6. Generate Status Reports Produce sprint review or weekly status reports in Markdown (or export to PDF/Confluence). Each report includes: sprint goal and whether it was met, completed stories with their point total, stories carried over, burndown chart data, velocity trend over the last five sprints, top risks, and action items for the next period. Tailor the level of detail to the audience — executives get a one-page summary, the team gets the full breakdown.

Usage

Provide the agent with your project details and what you need. The agent adapts to your methodology and tooling.

"Create a sprint plan for the TaskMaster mobile app. We're a team of 4 with a velocity of 34 points. Sprint starts Monday and runs two weeks. Pull from the existing backlog in Linear."
"Generate a weekly status report for Project Atlas. Include burndown, completed items, and open risks."
"Break down this feature into user stories with acceptance criteria: 'Users should be able to export their data in CSV and JSON formats.'"
"Add a risk to the register: 'Payment provider is deprecating API v2 on March 1. We need to migrate to v3.'"

Examples

Example 1 — Creating a Sprint Plan with User Stories

User input:

"Plan sprint 12 for the Lumen project. Sprint goal: launch the notifications feature. Team: Alice (frontend, 8 pts capacity), Bob (backend, 10 pts), Carol (fullstack, 8 pts). Two-week sprint starting Feb 17."

Agent output:

## Sprint 12 — Lumen
**Goal:** Launch the notifications feature
**Dates:** Feb 17 – Feb 28, 2025
**Team capacity:** 26 story points

### Selected Stories (26 pts)

| ID     | Story                                              | Points | Assignee | Depends On |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------|----------|------------|
| LUM-41 | As a user, I want to receive in-app notifications    | 5      | Alice    | —          |
| LUM-42 | As a user, I want to receive push notifications      | 8      | Bob      | LUM-41     |
| LUM-43 | As a user, I want to configure notification prefs    | 3      | Alice    | LUM-41     |
| LUM-44 | Build notification service with WebSocket delivery   | 8      | Bob      | —          |
| LUM-45 | As a user, I want to see a notification history page | 5      | Carol    | LUM-44     |
| LUM-46 | Write integration tests for notification flow        | 3      | Carol    | LUM-42     |

### Acceptance Criteria (example — LUM-42)
- [ ] Push notification is delivered to iOS and Android within 5 seconds
- [ ] Notification payload includes title, body, and deep-link URL
- [ ] Notifications respect the user's quiet-hours setting
- [ ] Failed deliveries are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff

### Dependencies
  LUM-42 → LUM-41 (push requires in-app infrastructure)
  LUM-45 → LUM-44 (history page reads from notification service)
  LUM-46 → LUM-42 (integration tests cover push path)

Sprint pushed to Linear. Slack channel #lumen-dev notified.
Example 2 — Generating a Project Status Report with Burndown Data

User input:

"Generate the sprint 11 retrospective report for Project Atlas. We use GitHub Issues."

Agent output:

## Project Atlas — Sprint 11 Status Report
**Sprint dates:** Feb 3 – Feb 14, 2025
**Sprint goal:** Complete user profile redesign — ✅ Met

### Summary
- **Planned:** 30 story points across 9 stories
- **Completed:** 28 story points (8 stories)
- **Carried over:** 1 story (ATLAS-87, 2 pts — blocked by design review)

### Burndown Data

| Day       | Ideal Remaining | Actual Remaining |
|-----------|-----------------|------------------|
| Feb 3     | 30              | 30               |
| Feb 4     | 27              | 28               |
| Feb 5     | 24              | 25               |
| Feb 6     | 21              | 22               |
| Feb 7     | 18              | 18               |
| Feb 10    | 15              | 14               |
| Feb 11    | 12              | 10               |
| Feb 12    | 9               | 6                |
| Feb 13    | 6               | 4                |
| Feb 14    | 0               | 2                |

### Velocity Trend (last 5 sprints)
  Sprint 7: 24 pts | Sprint 8: 28 pts | Sprint 9: 26 pts | Sprint 10: 30 pts | Sprint 11: 28 pts
  **Average velocity:** 27.2 pts

### Open Risks
| Risk                                  | Likelihood | Impact | Owner  | Mitigation                        |

Best Practices

  • Keep stories small and testable. Any story estimated above 8 points should be split. Large stories hide complexity and make progress tracking unreliable.
  • Write acceptance criteria before development begins. Criteria remove ambiguity, serve as the basis for test cases, and give the team a shared definition of "done."
  • Respect velocity — do not overcommit. Use the team's trailing three-sprint average as the capacity ceiling. Overloaded sprints lead to carryover and demoralize the team.
  • Make blockers visible immediately. Surface blocked tasks in daily digests and tag the person who can unblock them. A blocker that sits unreported for days is a silent schedule risk.
  • Maintain a living risk register. Review risks at every sprint planning meeting. Close risks that are no longer relevant and add new ones as they emerge. A stale risk register provides false confidence.
  • Automate report generation. Manually assembling status reports is error-prone and time-consuming. Use the agent to pull data directly from the project tracker so reports are always accurate and consistent.

Edge Cases

  • Empty backlog. If no stories exist when a sprint plan is requested, prompt the user to create or import stories before planning. Do not create a sprint with zero items.
  • Team member at zero capacity. If a team member is on leave for the entire sprint, exclude them from assignment but keep them listed as a reviewer or stakeholder if applicable. Adjust total capacity accordingly.
  • Circular dependencies. If task A depends on B and B depends on A, flag the cycle and ask the user to resolve it before planning proceeds. Never silently schedule mutually blocking tasks.
  • Tracker API outage. If the project tracker API is unreachable, generate the plan in Markdown locally and queue the sync for when the API recovers. Inform the user that changes are saved locally but not yet pushed.
  • Mid-sprint scope changes. If a new high-priority item is added mid-sprint, warn the user about the impact on the sprint goal and suggest which existing item to deprioritize to make room. Log the scope change in the sprint report.
  • Cross-project dependencies. When a task depends on work owned by another team or project, create a linked external reference and set up a webhook or polling check to notify the team when the dependency is resolved.
