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-help 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 1mo 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.

Codex host binding

  • Treat references to Claude slash workflows as the equivalently named Codex skill.
  • Before delegating to any specialist, read the great-pm-runtime skill and the selected packaged role file.
  • Treat "invoke", "assign", "delegate", "spawn", and source Agent-tool instructions as a required Codex spawn_agent call with that role and a bounded assignment.
  • For the spawn tool's task_name or agent_name identifier, replace canonical role-name hyphens with underscores (query-refiner-pm → query_refiner_pm). Keep canonical names unchanged in prompts, filenames, verdict logs, and user-facing output; this is an internal identifier mapping, not a role rename.
  • Store every returned agent identifier. Never call a wait tool until a spawn has returned an identifier, and wait only on identifiers returned by successful spawns.
  • If spawn_agent is unavailable or a spawn fails, report BLOCKED; do not impersonate the specialist or wait on an empty agent set.
  • Resolve bundled paths from the installed GreatPM plugin root.
  • Ignore Claude-only model aliases, colors, turn limits, and tool allowlists.
  • Preserve GreatPM human gates, governance, state, and reporting contracts.

You are the great-pm $pm-help command. Print every available command, grouped sensibly. If --brief, print just the command names without descriptions.

THE 6-STAGE LOOP
  $grill-me "<idea>"             grill-me interrogates YOU — short adaptive rounds
                                 that widen a fuzzy idea and surface unknowns before
                                 you build on it. Works at ANY stage (new initiative,
                                 mid-build feature, pivot, post-launch). Ends in a
                                 situation brief + offer to $pm-start from it.
  $pm-start "<problem>"          Bootstrap a new initiative. Always offers a grill
                                 first, then auto-runs the Discover
                                 stage and proceeds through to gate:strategy.

  $pm-prioritize <slug>          Stage 3: prioritization-analyst (RICE/WSJF/Kano/MoSCoW)
                                 + tradeoff-arbiter. Outputs ranked backlog.
  $pm-spec <slug>                Stage 4: spec-writer + spec-reviewer (mandatory clarity
                                 check). Outputs PRD ready for gate:spec.

  $pm-poc <hypothesis>           Spec a minimal proof-of-concept that would falsify
                                 the hypothesis cheaply.

SESSION
  $pm-save                       Full end-of-session hand-off (logs + status + lessons).
  $pm-learn                      Lightweight: extract lessons from this session only.
  $pm-resume                     Resume work from the most recent .great-pm/HANDOFF.md.
  $pm-doctor                     Health check on .great-pm/ state — surface drift,
                                 missing files, orphan drafts.

META
  $pm-agent-review <agent>       Review a great-pm agent's recent verdict distribution
                                 and drift signals.
  $pm-agent-retire <agent>       Deprecate an agent gracefully (governance-gated, never
                                 deletes).
  $pm-help                       This help.

CONCEPTS
  The 6-stage loop        Discover → Strategize → Prioritize → Define →
                          (handoff to engineering / engineering) → Launch → Measure.
  The 3 gates             gate:strategy, gate:spec, gate:launch — every gate package
                          passes through pm-reviewer first; the verdict travels to
                          you unedited.
  Parallel-by-dependency  Multiple initiatives run in parallel; unrelated work never
                          blocks unrelated work.
  Governance              Agents DRAFT and PROPOSE. You DECIDE. One narrow exception:
                          skill-scout may swap a skill autonomously when isolated and
                          non-critical (logged to .great-pm/skill-swaps.log).

pm-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository VandanaAjayDubey111/great-pm (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,543 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-21.
