Imagine the initiative has already shipped and failed publicly — work backwards from the failure to identify the most likely product / PM causes BEFORE building. Forces concrete risk identification, not vague "what could go wrong" lists. Adapted from Gary Klein's MIT Sloan research; pairs with engineering's engineering-side pre-mortem.
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
## Codex host binding - Treat references to Claude slash workflows as the equivalently named Codex skill. - Before delegating to any specialist, read the `great-pm-runtime` skill and the selected packaged role file. - Treat "invoke", "assign", "delegate", "spawn", and source Agent-tool instructions as a required Codex `spawn_agent` call with that role and a bounded assignment. - For the spawn tool's `task_name` or `agent_name` identifier, replace canonical role-name hyphens with underscores (`query-refiner-pm` → `query_refiner_pm`). Keep canonical names unchanged in prompts, filenames, verdict logs, and user-facing output; this is an internal identifier mapping, not a role rename. - Store every returned agent identifier. Never call a wait tool until a spawn has returned an identifier, and wait only on identifiers returned by successful spawns. - If `spawn_agent` is unavailable or a spawn fails, report BLOCKED; do not impersonate the specialist or wait on an empty agent set. - Resolve bundled paths from the installed GreatPM plugin root. - Ignore Claude-only model aliases, colors, turn limits, and tool allowlists. …

How to install
mdr add vandanaajaydubey111/great-pm/pre-mortem@sha256:75c21f321e8dabc1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.2cbc56d, 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.
