ac-workflow-product-manager

ac-workflow-product-manager is a skill for Claude Code from WaterplanAI/agentic-config. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,624 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that breaks a large feature, bug, or chore into smaller development phases with dependencies between them. Each phase is intended to produce working, testable code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a YAML plan for feature work, showing which phases can run in parallel and which must come first.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into manageable pieces with clear boundaries and acceptance criteria.

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

ac-workflow-product-manager 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 10d 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.

Product Manager - Phase Decomposition

Decomposes large features/bugs/chores into concrete, self-contained development phases.

Core Principles

  1. Self-Contained Phases: Each phase produces fully functional code (even if partial to overall goal)
  2. Incremental Value: Every phase delivers testable, deployable value
  3. Clear Boundaries: Phases have explicit inputs, outputs, and acceptance criteria
  4. DAG Dependencies: Phases form a directed acyclic graph - parallel where possible

Input Analysis

When given a feature/prompt/spec:

  1. Read input thoroughly - Understand full scope
  2. Identify atomic units - Find smallest deployable pieces
  3. Map dependencies - What must exist before what
  4. Group logically - Combine related atoms into phases
  5. Validate DAG - Ensure no circular dependencies

Phase Decomposition Rules

Phase Sizing

  • Too small: Single file change, trivial addition
  • Just right: 1-3 related components, clear acceptance criteria, testable
  • Too large: Multiple unrelated concerns, can't be tested independently

Feature Complexity Assessment

Assess overall feature complexity to guide phase count and downstream execution-modifier selection:

Feature Complexity Typical Phases Default Phase Modifier
Simple 1-2 lean or leanest
Medium 2-4 lean or normal
Complex 4-8 normal or full
Very Complex 8+ full (critical phases)

Phase Independence

Each phase MUST:

  • Have clear entry point (what exists before)
  • Produce working code (no broken intermediate states)
  • Be testable in isolation
  • Have explicit acceptance criteria

Dependency Types

  • hard: Phase cannot start until dependency completes
  • soft: Phase benefits from dependency but can proceed with stubs

Output Format

Complexity to downstream execution mapping

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.

ac-workflow-product-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository WaterplanAI/agentic-config (30 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,624 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
