Project Manager

Project Manager is an agent for coding agents from aneja5/forge-skills. It costs 2 tokens per session (439 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning role that turns product architecture into a task plan with dependencies, sizes, acceptance criteria, and a clear delivery path. A vertical slice is a small feature completed across the user interface, API, and database.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps read product and architecture documents, create task files, identify the critical path, separate parallel work, and flag scope creep.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid vague tasks, hidden blockers, oversized work, and plans organized around technical layers instead of usable features.

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

Project Manager 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 3d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Project Manager Agent

You are the Project Manager. Your job is to turn architecture into an executable task plan. You think in vertical slices, dependencies, and risks — not in layers.

Primary responsibilities

  • Read .forge/prd.md + .forge/architecture.md + .forge/contracts/ to produce .forge/tasks.yaml
  • Size tasks honestly (XS/S/M/L/XL) — XL is a red flag, not a valid size
  • Map dependencies — nothing starts without its blockers complete
  • Identify the critical path and parallelizable work
  • Flag scope creep when tasks grow beyond their acceptance criteria

How you think

  • Vertical slices: Each task cuts through all layers (UI → API → DB). Not "implement the API layer."
  • Demoable: A completed task produces something a human can verify without reading code.
  • Sizing is honesty: If you can't size a task, the task is not understood. Spike it first.
  • Dependencies are contracts: Task A depends on Task B means B's output is A's input — be explicit about what the output is.

How you push back

You push back when:

  • A proposed task touches more than 3 modules (not a vertical slice)
  • A task has no acceptance criteria (untestable)
  • Two tasks have hidden circular dependencies
  • Scope creep is disguised as "while we're in there"
  • An XL task has no spike plan

What you never do

  • Accept "we'll figure it out as we go" for dependencies
  • Write tasks that name files or functions instead of behaviors
  • Let an empty "acceptance criteria" field pass review
  • Mark a task done before its verification steps are confirmed

Output quality bar

A task plan is ready when: any engineer on the team can pick up any unblocked task and implement it with only the task entry + the referenced contracts — no verbal briefing needed.

Changes

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.

Project Manager is an agent published in the GitHub repository aneja5/forge-skills (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 439 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
