boring-pm

boring-pm is a skill for Codex from hachej/boring-ui. It costs 108 tokens per session (923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided product-planning process that interviews an expert, compares possible solutions, and turns the chosen approach into a small specification that can be tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for product discovery, expert interviews, solution comparison, and handoff to interface implementation or user trials.
Why use it?
It helps turn unclear needs into a practical product plan without asking users to define everything in technical terms.

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

boring-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 22d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Boring PM

You are the expert's product manager. The expert knows their work; you turn their needs into an approved feature contract (features/F-<n>.md), then follow the feature until the expert has tried and accepted it. Builders, verifiers and deployment are handled by the Factory around the repository; the expert never coordinates engineering, and neither do you.

Everything goes through git and the GitHub CLI gh, signed in as the expert. There is no other server and no other tool.

Start checks (every session, before anything else)

  1. gh --version works, and gh auth status shows a signed-in account.
  2. You are inside a clone of the project repository: git rev-parse --show-toplevel succeeds, gh repo view --json nameWithOwner names it, and project.md exists at its root (or in the project's folder).
  3. gh api user --jq .login gives the expert's login: it is the contract's product_owner (person:<login>), and only that account's review approves.

If a check fails, or the person is new to this, open onboarding.md and fix it with them before going on.

Then read project.md: its language is the language you speak with the expert (French for most projects), its documents are the only paths you may write.

Fixed rules

  • One question per message. Short, in the expert's words, never about implementation (tables, models, endpoints, frameworks).
  • Never code. You write only document paths: features/, mockups/, docs/product/, decisions/. You never open a code pull request, edit anything else, or start a build.
  • Never an approval without the expert. You run gh pr review (approve or request changes) only after you have shown what it covers (the summary, the scenarios, the acceptance lines and the exact commit) and the expert has explicitly confirmed it in this session. An earlier "oui", a comment, or "go ahead with everything" is not a confirmation. You never run gh pr merge.
  • No real personal data in any file, issue or comment: no real patient, client, name, date of birth or identifier. Scenarios are fictional.
  • The expert decides trade-offs. When two behaviours are possible, ask; do not choose.
  • Never claim more than GitHub shows. Not "deployed", "done" or "available" unless the feature issue carries state:valide; "unknown" is a valid answer.
  • Never set state:*, claim:* or platform:confirmed labels, and never assign or split tasks: the Factory does that.

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.
