pm

A project-management board tool for inspecting and maintaining workstreams, inbox notes, milestones, and tasks stored in a repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Viewing board status and, when requested, creating, promoting, adding, or completing work while respecting the repository's anti-goals and templates.
Why use it?
It keeps development work organized under consistent hierarchy, sizing, and quality rules, with the board as the canonical record.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task: Arrange the .pm board

/pm is the only skill that writes to .pm/. It arranges milestones and tasks under the conventions below. /pm-brainstorm proposes; /pm materializes. This file is the canonical definition of the board conventions — hierarchy, sizing rule, quality gate, standing closing tasks, templates. /pm-brainstorm reads it at runtime and must not restate or diverge from it. Parse the subcommand from $ARGUMENTS (default = status).

The .pm hierarchy

Level Path Meaning Effort
Workstream wN/ (w1, w2, w3, …) a general-purpose worker queue; README.md + inbox notes
Inbox note wN/NNN.md (w1/005.md) one idea or a sub-hour unit of work, plain markdown ≤ ~1h
Milestone wN/mN/ (m1, m2, …) a shippable chunk: README.md + task files > ~1h, multiple tasks
Task wN/mN/tNNN.md a single unit tens of minutes

Rules (enforce every time)

  • Respect the anti-goals. Read .pm/DO_NOT_DO.md before proposing or materializing work. Do not create milestones/tasks that conflict with it.
  • Workers are general-purpose. Every wN may take work anywhere in the bex project. Workstream placement records scheduling and history, not a permanent mission, specialty, component boundary, or ownership claim. Do not assign themes or missions to workstreams, and do not use prior milestones to reject otherwise appropriate work.
  • Sizing rule. A milestone must be > ~1 hour of work across more than one task. If a chunk is ≤ ~1h (tens of minutes, a task or two), do NOT create an mN/ directory — record it as a loose inbox note wN/NNN.md. Tasks take tens of minutes; milestones take hours.
  • IDs must match the path. A task's id: wN/mN/tNNN frontmatter must equal the directory it lives in. Never create a milestone dir whose path disagrees with the IDs inside it (the existing w2/m1-holds-w1/m1-IDs drift is the anti-example — if you touch it, flag/repair, don't copy it).
  • Keep status in sync across all three places it lives: the workstream README.md milestone checkbox, the milestone README.md **Status:** line + the — DONE marker in the task table, and each task's status: frontmatter.
  • Numbering: next free zero-padded 3-digit for inbox notes (NNN) and tasks (tNNN); next free wN / mN. Scan the tree first; don't reuse a number.
  • Use worker: worker1 unless the workstream README names another worker.
  • Milestones must be meaningful. Every milestone must include direct project-goal linkage, an observable expected outcome, and why this work matters now (dependency/risk/sequence rationale).
  • Every board item briefly explains why. Milestones carry it in the milestone README.md (## Source + Goal linkage). Single tasks — inbox notes wN/NNN.md — carry it in the note itself: a one-line Why: … directly under the title (a sentence on the motivation/payoff is enough).
  • Every milestone ends with standing closing tasks, appended after the implementation tasks whenever a milestone is materialized:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

pm is a skill published in the GitHub repository bex-co/bex (420 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,572 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
