Guides contributors from a PM skill idea to a complete Skill Implementation Packet aligned with pm-skills conventions. Runs gap analysis, validates through a Why Gate, classifies by type and phase, generates draft files, and writes to a staging area for review before promotion.

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.

# PM Skill Builder

This skill creates new PM skills for the pm-skills library. It produces a
Skill Implementation Packet - a complete design document with draft files
in a staging area for review before promotion to canonical locations.

## When to Use

- When you have an idea for a new PM skill
- When you want to add a domain skill (phase-specific), foundation skill
  (cross-cutting), or utility skill (meta/tooling) to the pm-skills library
- When a contributor needs guided skill creation that follows repo conventions

## When NOT to Use

- To modify or improve an existing skill → use `utility-pm-skill-iterate`
- To audit an existing skill against conventions → use `utility-pm-skill-validate`
- To create a skill for a non-pm-skills context → use a general agent skill builder
- To create a workflow → workflows are authored directly, not via this builder

## Instructions

When asked to create a new PM skill, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Idea

Accept the idea in either form:
- **Problem-first**: "What PM problem does this skill solve? Who runs into
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/utility-pm-skill-builder@sha256:f9d75f22b6370e79

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
