career-ladder-map
Map where you are against the next level and build a concrete plan to close the gap. Use when asked to map a career ladder, find the gap to the next level, build a development/growth plan, or figure out what to work on to get promoted. Produces a level-gap map — current vs. target competencies side by side, the specific gaps, and a prioritised 1–2 quarter plan of evidence-generating projects to close them.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Career Ladder Map Skill "How do I get to the next level?" usually gets a vague answer. This skill makes it concrete: lay your current demonstrated competencies next to the **target** level's, find the real gaps, and turn each into a specific project that will *generate the evidence* a [`promotion-packet`](../promotion-packet/SKILL.md) needs. A plan, not a pep talk. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **Current level → target level**, and the **ladder/rubric** for both (the competencies each expects). - **Your current evidence** — what you've demonstrated and where (a [`brag-doc`](../brag-doc/SKILL.md) helps). - **Constraints** — your role's scope, time, and what opportunities are realistically available. ## Output Format ### Career Ladder Map — [name], [current] → [target] **1. Side-by-side** — each competency at current vs. target, with your honest status: | Competency | Target-level bar | Where I am now | Gap | |---|---|---|---| | e.g. Scope of influence | multi-team | strong within my team | 🟡 partial | Status: 🟢 already demonstrating · 🟡 partial / inconsistent · 🔴 not yet. **2. The real gaps** — the 2–4 competencies (🔴/🟡) that actual

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
