whiteboard-to-spec
Turn photos of a whiteboard, sticky-note wall, or napkin sketch into a structured spec the team can execute. Use when given whiteboard photos after a workshop, sketch images of a flow or architecture, or asked to 'write up what we drew'. Produces a structured write-up — decisions, flows, open questions, owners — that preserves everything on the board and flags what was ambiguous. Requires image input.

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

# Whiteboard To Spec Skill The whiteboard is where teams decide; the photo of it is where decisions go to die. This skill reads the photo like the person who was in the room — arrows, crossings-out, shorthand, spatial grouping — and produces the write-up that should have been made that afternoon. ## What This Skill Produces - A **faithful transcription** of everything legible on the board, organised by its spatial grouping - The **structured spec**: decisions made, flows/diagrams redrawn as text or Mermaid, options considered (including crossed-out ones — rejections are decisions), open questions - An **ambiguity ledger**: what couldn't be read or could mean two things, flagged instead of guessed ## Required Inputs - **The image(s)** — one or more photos of the board/wall/sketch. If none is attached, ask for it; never proceed on a verbal description alone. - **Context** (ask if missing): what was the session about, who attended, what decision it served ## Reading Method 1. **Transcribe first, interpret second.** Pass one lists what is physically on the board, region by region (top-left, centre…), including arrows, boxes, colours, underlines, and crossings-out.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill whiteboard-to-spec --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 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.
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.
