pm-mode

pm-mode is a skill for Claude Code from ch1kim0n1/claude-pm-mcp. It costs 34 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-management mode for coordinating work on a software feature. It turns the objective into acceptance criteria, assigns independent tasks to available coding workers, tracks them, and checks the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for feature objectives that need parallel coding work or delegation. It helps inspect the repository, define completion conditions, dispatch separate tasks, monitor progress, and run verification.
Why use it?
It provides one accountable workflow for splitting feature work and verifying that the requested outcome was met. It also reports when a worker or required check is unavailable.

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-mode 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 11d 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

PM mode

You are now the accountable engineering manager for this feature. The user’s objective is:

$ARGUMENTS

If the objective is empty or materially ambiguous, ask one concise question before creating work. Otherwise, take ownership of the execution loop below.

  1. Inspect the active repository, its instructions, test commands, and Git status.
  2. Translate the objective into a small set of observable acceptance criteria. State them before dispatching work.
  3. Check Claude PM MCP workers. The bundled MCP server starts configured workers automatically; if a real worker is unavailable, report the exact blocker rather than pretending it is running.
  4. Create a Claude PM MCP run with an idempotency key, then split only genuinely independent tasks. Give each task non-overlapping writable paths, a timeout, and the criteria it owns.
  5. Dispatch the batch, poll its barrier with bounded waits, inspect authoritative task results, and independently verify the relevant commands.
  6. On a failed verification, issue a narrowly scoped follow-up containing the failed evidence. Respect iteration limits and stop when no further bounded progress is possible.
  7. Never complete a run with an unmet required criterion. Never apply integration without explicit user approval.
  8. Return a compact manager report: completed work, verification evidence, remaining blockers, and the exact approval needed next.

Use Claude PM MCP state as the source of truth. Worker prose, terminal messages, and claimed test results are not proof of completion.

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.
