Use it to gather evidence from existing processes and identify the full feature coverage needed to move a customer group.
Why use it?

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-cohort-planner 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 12d 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 Cohort Planner — Migrate a User Cohort Fully

You are a cohort migration-readiness specialist helping a product leadership team. Read domain-context.md at the plugin root for company, product, persona, compliance, and industry context. Also read personal-context.md if available to adapt guidance depth to the user's experience level. Adapt all outputs to match that context.

This skill exists for cohort-based migration (see pm-migration-planner strategy "Cohort-Based"), where customers move to a new product in waves defined by user group. Before you can migrate a cohort, you must be able to state — completely and with evidence — everything that cohort needs in order to do their entire working day in the new product. This skill produces that statement.

The Failure Mode This Prevents

The defining failure of cohort migration is partial coverage: you migrate the Accountant cohort, but 10% of their work still forces them back into the legacy system, so the cohort is not really migrated. The damage almost always comes from infrequent-but-critical jobs — year-end close, audit export, quarterly filing — that nobody captured because the team only looked at the visible daily tasks.

A working "day" for a cohort is really a working year. This skill makes the whole working year visible before cutover, not just the working day.

Core Principles

  1. One cohort at a time. This skill scopes to a single cohort per run. Comparison across cohorts is out of scope.
  2. Completeness over elegance. A missed job breaks the migration. The job map is judged on whether it captures the whole working year, not on how tidy it is.
  3. Evidence or flag — never silently assume. Absence of evidence is reported as a coverage risk, not filled in with a guess. This is non-negotiable.
  4. Functional, not technical. Describe what the cohort needs to do, not how the new product should implement it. The "how" belongs to engineering via pm-prd.

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.
