What it does
Pm Journal is an agent skill from wei63w/pm-manager. Persist this session's intent, extract change points, refresh the iteration timeline, and list optimization suggestions.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 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. The repository describes itself as: Know what to fix next — local .pm governance skill pack for AI coding agents (Spec Kit–inspired). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Product & Project Management work in your project
Example prompts
- “/pm-journal”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Require .pm/。缺则建议 /pm-init。
- 先读 .pm/state/session.json、timeline.md、suggestions.md、dialogue.md 与 map.json。禁止为找记录做无过滤全库递归。
- 若用户描述了本轮在做什么、贴了对话、或点名了文件：运行
- 运行 pm journal，刷新并打开
- 中文汇报：场景（咨询/代码/修复/重构/文档）、目标、变更文件、P0/P1 建议、时间线最近几条。建议只提示，不自动建待办、不改业务树。
- Closing：_closing.md 轻量档。指向已存在的 timeline / suggestions / dialogue。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ecfaf1f. 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
Pm Journal loads about 337 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 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.
