outline

outline is a command for coding agents from wei63w/pm-manager. It costs 15 tokens per session (593 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pm-outline, MIT.

A project-outline command for new or empty projects. It turns a user's intent into planning documents such as goals, features, milestones, and a draft project charter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define project scope, users, features, exclusions, technology preferences, timing, work process, and initial milestones.
Why use it?
It records what the project should achieve before application code is written, while keeping the plan separate from approved requirements.

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

outline 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to pm-outline — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Outline

  1. Require init. Collect intent: goal, users, features, non-goals, stack prefs, timeline, process.mode.
  2. Write .pm/outline/project-outline.md, epics.md, milestones.md.
  3. Sync draft .pm/charter/* (REQ-xxx); set outline/charter status draft, source generated.
  4. Do not write application source code.
  5. Do not treat the outline/charter as acceptance criteria until /pm-charter approve (or /pm-init confirm for PRD).
  6. Recommend /pm-init confirm or /pm-charter 向导;技术扫描用 /pm-all(不必先 approve)。

Shared Workflow (all /pm-* commands)

Follow this order when the command mutates .pm/ state:

  1. Read .pm/config/project.yaml and .pm/config/local.yaml (if missing and command is not init → recommend /pm-init).
  2. If .pm/ metadata is valid, load it; do not force a full-repo rescan. On-demand incremental scan using sources + extra_scan_roots + --path + conversation paste (highest priority for /pm-fix). Prefer .pm/architecture/map.json and the document index before walking the tree.
  3. Desensitize evidence → .pm/evidence/scans/{command}-{timestamp}.json (secrets → ***). Never persist raw secrets.
  4. Optional charter compare only when charter.status == approved (attach confidence). Draft PRD/charter MUST NOT be used as the baseline.
  5. Incremental merge into module findings.md / todo.md; sync authoritative state/todo.md.
  6. Refresh state/overview.md with all open/in_progress blocking+high todos (no 3-item cap). Medium/low: counts only unless --verbose.
  7. Append audit to .pm/state/audit.jsonl (command, time, input/output summary; include reasoning when the step was AI-produced).
  8. Output risk summary + recommended next step (≤20 lines). Never auto-write source/SQL/cloud or land generated docs/rules without explicit user confirmation.
  9. Closing: _closing.md 完整档(只列已有路径)。

Design baseline: docs/prd.md + 宪章。

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.
