Assess health across multiple product initiatives and the overall portfolio — balance, bet distribution, and capacity allocation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Manage Portfolio

A single initiative can look healthy while the portfolio is unbalanced (too many bets in one phase, no discovery pipeline, one segment over-indexed).
This skill reads all initiatives and reports portfolio-level health.

## Prerequisites

- Apply the shared PDLC conventions in `skills/pdlc/references/shared.md`.
- An initialized `.pdlc/` with at least a few initiatives.

## Steps

1. Enumerate `.pdlc/initiatives/*/` and read each `progress.md` and latest gate decision.
2. Compute the distribution of initiatives across the six PDLC phases.
   A healthy portfolio has flow: some in Discover, some in Validate, fewer in Define/Launch, and a steady Measure loop.
3. Check capacity allocation against `.pdlc/context/roadmap.md` and any team capacity signal.
   Flag over-allocation (more Now-slot initiatives than capacity) and starvation (empty Discover pipeline).
4. Check bet diversity: segments, customer types, and risk levels.
   Flag concentration risk.
5. Surface initiatives that are stuck (same phase across multiple sessions with no gate progress) — candidates for `kill-initiative`.
6. Produce the portfolio report and recommended rebalancing actions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tomzx/agents/manage-portfolio@sha256:b386644da4a22d65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
