What it does

Pm Outline is an agent skill from wei63w/pm-manager. Generate detailed project outline and draft charter from user intent (empty/new projects).

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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-outline”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Require init. Collect intent: goal, users, features, non-goals, stack prefs, timeline, process.mode.
  2. Write .pm/outline/project-outline.md, epics.md, milestones.md.
  3. Sync draft .pm/charter/* (REQ-xxx); set outline/charter status draft, source generated.
  4. Do not write application source code.
  5. Do not treat the outline/charter as acceptance criteria until /pm-charter approve (or /pm-init confirm for PRD).
  6. Recommend /pm-init confirm or /pm-charter 向导;技术扫描用 /pm-all(不必先 approve)。

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 Outline loads about 570 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~570

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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Outline

  1. Require init. Collect intent: goal, users, features, non-goals, stack prefs, timeline, process.mode.
  2. Write .pm/outline/project-outline.md, epics.md, milestones.md.
  3. Sync draft .pm/charter/* (REQ-xxx); set outline/charter status draft, source generated.
  4. Do not write application source code.
  5. Do not treat the outline/charter as acceptance criteria until /pm-charter approve (or /pm-init confirm for PRD).
  6. Recommend /pm-init confirm or /pm-charter 向导;技术扫描用 /pm-all(不必先 approve)。

Shared Workflow (all /pm-* commands)

Follow this order when the command mutates .pm/ state:

  1. Read .pm/config/project.yaml and .pm/config/local.yaml (if missing and command is not init → recommend /pm-init).
  2. If .pm/ metadata is valid, load it; do not force a full-repo rescan. On-demand incremental scan using sources + extra_scan_roots + --path + conversation paste (highest priority for /pm-fix). Prefer .pm/architecture/map.json and the document index before walking the tree.
  3. Desensitize evidence → .pm/evidence/scans/{command}-{timestamp}.json (secrets → ***). Never persist raw secrets.
  4. Optional charter compare only when charter.status == approved (attach confidence). Draft PRD/charter MUST NOT be used as the baseline.
  5. Incremental merge into module findings.md / todo.md; sync authoritative state/todo.md.
  6. Refresh state/overview.md with all open/in_progress blocking+high todos (no 3-item cap). Medium/low: counts only unless --verbose.
  7. Append audit to .pm/state/audit.jsonl (command, time, input/output summary; include reasoning when the step was AI-produced).
  8. Output risk summary + recommended next step (≤20 lines). Never auto-write source/SQL/cloud or land generated docs/rules without explicit user confirmation.
  9. Closing: _closing.md 完整档(只列已有路径)。

Design baseline: docs/prd.md + 宪章。
