Applies targeted improvements to an existing pm-skills skill based on feedback, validation reports, or convention changes. Reads current files, previews proposed changes, writes on confirmation, and suggests a version bump. Use when improving a skill after validation or feedback.

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

# PM Skill Iterate

This skill improves an existing pm-skills skill by applying targeted changes
based on input you provide. It reads the current skill files, proposes
changes as before/after previews grouped by file, and writes them on your
confirmation. After applying changes, it suggests a version bump class and
offers to update HISTORY.md.

The iterator accepts any of these as input:
- A validation report from `utility-pm-skill-validate`
- Direct feedback ("the template is missing section X")
- A convention change ("all skills now need a Limitations section")
- A general improvement request ("make the example more realistic")

## When to Use

- After running `utility-pm-skill-validate` and getting a report with findings
- When you have specific feedback on a skill and want to apply it
- When a repo convention changes and a skill needs to conform
- When a skill's example, template, or instructions need improvement
- When iterating on a skill before a release

## When NOT to Use

- To create a new skill from scratch -> use `utility-pm-skill-builder`
- To audit a skill before making changes -> use `utility-pm-skill-validate` first

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/utility-pm-skill-iterate@sha256:05885ea560ef826c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
