# /pm — Project management across the portfolio Methodology-first project management. Kanban + Eisenhower + async. One board per business. Tool-agnostic via adapters. ## Mental model Each business gets its own kanban with 5 columns: ``` Backlog → Ready → In Progress → Review/Blocked → Done/Archived ``` - **Backlog**: everything that *might* matter — not yet committed - **Ready**: triaged, well-defined, can be picked up - **In Progress**: actively being worked - **Review/Blocked**: waiting on someone else, review, or external dependency - **Done/Archived**: shipped or killed **Eisenhower** sits on top of the board — used to triage Backlog → Ready (which items make the cut) and to pick next from Ready (which Ready item to pull). ``` Urgent Not Urgent Important Q1: Do Q2: Schedule ← Q2 is the high-leverage zone Not Important Q3: Delegate Q4: Delete ``` **Async-first**: every status snapshot should read like a Loom you didn't have to record. Make work visible without requiring a meeting. ## Step 1 — Detect mode and target Parse the invocation: | Invocation | Mode | Target | |---|---|---| | `/pm setup [business]` | setup | the named business | | `/pm triage [business]` | triage | the na

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add coreyhaines31/makerskills --skill pm --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From coreyhaines31/makerskills, a repository with 500 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
