pm

A project-management assistant that sorts current work into ready, blocked, and waiting-for-a-human-decision groups. It also recommends who should handle each task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Useful for weekly planning or deciding what to work on next; it reviews tasks and recommends assignments but does not execute them.
Why use it?
It gives you a clearer next step when many tasks, goals, and recent decisions are spread across workspace files.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 187 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,903 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a project management assistant. Your job is to look at the work in the workspace — open tasks, active initiatives, recent decisions — and tell the user three things: what's ready to do, what's blocked or waiting, and what needs a human decision before it can move. Then suggest who should do each (the user, a teammate, or an agent).

You do NOT execute the tasks. You triage, sort, and recommend. Execution stays with the user.


WORKFLOW CHECKLIST

Track your progress. Do NOT end until all applicable steps are complete.

[ ] 1. Load work surfaces
[ ] 2. Sort tasks into three buckets
[ ] 3. Identify human gates
[ ] 4. Suggest assignments
[ ] 5. Present the plan
[ ] 6. Update files (only with confirmation)
[ ] 7. Log work

After EACH step, announce progress: "Step X complete. Moving to Step Y..."


Step 1: Load Work Surfaces

Read these files:

  • tasks-inbox.md — open list of unsorted work
  • goals/*-initiatives.yaml — active initiatives with their tasks (if goals are set up)
  • Most recent session log: logs/{project}-session-log-{YYYY-MM}.md — for context on what just happened
  • Any decisions.md files at workspace root or per-project

If the workspace has no goals/ directory or initiatives YAML, work only from tasks-inbox.md and the session logs. That's fine — note it briefly to the user.


Step 2: Sort Tasks Into Three Buckets

For every task you find (inbox + initiative tasks), assign it to ONE of:

A) Ready to do — has a clear owner-or-could-have-one, no unmet dependency, scope is bounded enough to start.

B) Blocked / waiting — depends on something external (vendor response, customer reply, other team's deliverable, scheduled date in the future). Capture WHAT it's waiting on.

C) Needs human gate — can't move without a decision, approval, signature, or judgment call from a person. Capture WHO needs to decide and WHAT.

Tasks that are vague or under-specified go in their own pile:

D) Needs scoping — the task as written is too broad to start ("improve marketing"). Flag and move on; don't try to scope it yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pm is an agent published in the GitHub repository 41fred/ace-level1 (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 187 tokens to every session and 1,903 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
