tech-to-pm-translator is a skill for Claude Code from mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot. It costs 125 tokens per session (2,965 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A translation aid that turns engineering documents into code-free guides for product managers, designers, and other non-engineers. It keeps the important system details while explaining them in everyday language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert architecture notes, API documentation, runbooks, decision records, and READMEs into onboarding material, bug-report guidance, or product context.
Why use it?
It helps people understand how a system works, what can break, and who can fix it without reading source code or dense technical documents.

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

tech-to-pm-translator 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.

Tech-to-PM Translator

Converts technical developer documentation into structured, code-free knowledge base documents that PMs, designers, and other non-engineers can use to understand systems without reading code.

Philosophy

This is a translation skill, not a summarization skill.

  • Summarization loses detail. A PM reading a summary still can't answer questions.
  • Translation reframes the same information for a different audience. A PM reading a translated doc can understand what breaks, why, and who to talk to.

The output preserves technical accuracy while stripping implementation detail and adding decision-support framing.

When to Activate

  • User says "translate docs for PMs", "make this PM-friendly", "convert tech docs"
  • User says "create PM context from these docs", "non-engineer version"
  • User says "explain this system for PMs/designers", "create onboarding docs"
  • User has technical markdown files and wants them accessible to non-coders
  • After a team writes architecture docs and wants broader org understanding

Input

Required:

  • Source path: Directory or glob pattern containing technical docs (e.g., .claude/ref/, docs/architecture/, **/*.md)

Optional:

  • Output path: Where to write the translated docs (default: alongside source or user-specified)
  • Audience: "pm" (default), "designer", "stakeholder", "new-hire" (adjusts framing depth)
  • Project name: For context-specific terminology and ownership mapping
  • Existing context: Path to existing PM docs to avoid duplication and maintain consistency

Output Documents

The skill produces up to four document types depending on source material:

Document When Generated Purpose
Platform Guide Always How the system works end-to-end: user flows, data pipelines, integrations
Bug Anatomy When source docs cover components, failure modes, or debugging Bug families, filing guide, priority framework, engineer communication tips
Migration/Change Landscape When source docs describe transitions, deprecations, or active migrations What's changing, dependency map, decision framework for fix depth
Architecture Overview When source docs cover infrastructure, deployment, or system design Updated tech architecture in PM-friendly terms
