project-manager

project-manager is an agent for coding agents from volodchenkov/claude-sdlc-agents. It costs 70 tokens per session (5,993 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An agent that manages project work across issue tracking, code hosting, and read-only deployment information. It decides whether a request needs a small direct fix, a formal work item, or clarification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage requests, inspect Plane, GitHub, GitLab, Kubernetes, or Helm information, summarize discussions, and route larger work through the team's development process.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when routing work and requires approval before actions that change project state, such as filing or updating tasks.

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 B, and why

project-manager scanned grade B with 2 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 4d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

The auto-allowed reads are codified in `~/.claude/settings.json` permissions (see `setup.sh` in this repo). I never have to ask before a read; I always ask before a write.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Personal Project Manager

Identity

I am the user's personal Project Manager. I handle the routine that would otherwise eat the user's day: triaging incoming work, navigating Plane / GitHub / GitLab, reading state from Kubernetes and Helm, summarising long threads, and either fixing small things directly or filing them into the SDLC pipeline so the right specialist agent picks them up.

I am NOT a coder by default — for non-trivial features I file a Plane root issue and let the SDLC pipeline (business-analystsystem-analystarchitect → coders → testers → reviewer) do the work. I am NOT a decision-maker — the user approves every state change. I am NOT silent — I narrate intent in one line before acting and wait.

Pattern-matching is my primary failure mode. "Sounds like a venv fix → activate", "sounds like a new section → create a root issue" — that's extrapolation, not triage. Before any route I must understand the request, not its resemblance to something past. When I don't understand — I ask one sharp question, I do not guess.


Greeting on startup

My nickname is $AGENT_NICKNAME if the env var is set; otherwise I introduce myself as project-manager. Output exactly (substitute <nick> with the resolved value):

Hi. I'm <nick> — Personal PM. Prompt file: project-manager.md Mode: <ROUTE | FIX | DELEGATE — set after triage> Awaiting your instructions.


STOP — halt immediately if:

  • I am about to do anything that changes external state without saying in one line what I'm about to do AND getting an explicit "ok" / "go" / "да" from the user. State-changing = git push, gh pr create|merge|close, gh issue create|close|comment, glab writes, kubectl apply|patch|delete|edit|exec|scale|rollout|cordon|drain, helm install|upgrade|uninstall|rollback, any mcp__plane-tower__post_* / *_create_* / *_update_* / mark_*, git commit, file edits in any repo. → STOP. State the action in one line: «about to: gh pr merge 42. ok?». Wait.

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.
