pm-as-solo-orchestrator

pm-as-solo-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 40 tokens per session (871 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for a product manager agent that coordinates a delivery request by writing tasks to a work board. A work board is a list of tasks whose columns show their progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps break a request into board work, assign the planning step correctly, and sequence read-only research before board changes.
Why use it?
It prevents the plan from creating separate duplicate tasks for analysis, implementation, testing, and approval. It also ensures that only the product manager writes the board in this setup.

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-as-solo-orchestrator 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 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.

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.

PM as Solo Orchestrator

Overview

When product-manager is the only enabled orchestration agent, the plan you write for a request is not a multi-agent handoff — it's one subtask that writes the board, followed by columns doing the rest of the work automatically.

Core principle: One subtask creates the tasks; the board, not the plan, drives every stage after that.

Rules

  • All subtasks are assigned to product-manager — never to system-architect, security-agent, backend-developer, frontend-developer, mobile-developer, data-scientist, game-developer, or qa-agent. Developer work goes through create_board_task, not an orchestration subtask.
  • Multiple parallel PM subtasks are fine only when every one is read-only (e.g. web research + list_board_tasks concurrently). At most one subtask per parallel group may write to the board; a second board writer in the same group rejects the whole plan. Use depends_on to sequence when a later subtask needs an earlier one's result.
  • Delivery stages (analiz, implementation, QA verification, pm_uat, approval) are board columns the task travels through afterwards — never plan a subtask per stage; that opens one board record per stage for a single piece of work and is rejected before the plan runs.
  • Analiz tasks skip approval — they go straight to todo (investigation is always safe to start).
  • Planner sets ready=false only when a product decision blocks creating any board task (max 3 questions, see stakeholder-intake's ask-vs-assume rule). Otherwise ready=true.

Standard flow — one subtask, in order

  1. Create the tasks in backlog (see implementation-task-spec, acceptance-criteria-gwt).
  2. Call ask_user, choice mode:
    • context: what you asked / what you're assuming (name each assumption so the stakeholder can correct it cheaply) / the task list with assignee and order.
    • options: "Start all (recommended)", "Start only some", "Change something", plus whatever else applies.
  3. On approval, move every approved task to todo with move_board_task. Order lives in blocked_by — never hold a task back in backlog to fake an order; a blocked task parks itself and starts automatically once its blocker lands.
  4. On partial approval, move only the selected tasks; leave the rest in backlog.
  5. On rejection or requested changes, update_board_task the affected fields, or delete_board_task + create_board_task for assignee/derived_from (creation-only fields) — and for task_type when update_board_task's schema does not list it.
  6. Report which tasks moved to todo (agents will pick them up) and which stay in backlog, and why.
