## What it does

ccpm is a spec-driven project management skill. A feature starts as a PRD, becomes a technical epic, breaks into numbered task files with dependencies, lands in GitHub Issues, and gets picked up by parallel agents. Requirements live in files, not in someone's head, which is where the traceability comes from.

The work runs in five phases: Plan, Structure, Sync, Execute, Track. Each phase reads its own file under `references/`. Deterministic operations — status, standup, epic list, search, blocked items — go through bash scripts in `references/scripts/`, for example `bash references/scripts/status.sh`. Reasoning stays with the model: writing PRDs, judging parallelism, launching agents.

Read `references/conventions.md` before the first run; it holds path standards, frontmatter schemas and the GitHub rules. The skill is not for debugging code, writing tests or reviewing PRs. Plain issue operations with no delivery context are outside its scope too.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add automazeio/ccpm --skill ccpm -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ccpm/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ccpm/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add automazeio/ccpm --skill ccpm -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ccpm/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add automazeio/ccpm --skill ccpm -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ccpm/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install automazeio/ccpm ccpm
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ccpm/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add automazeio/ccpm --skill ccpm -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/automazeio/ccpm --path skill/ccpm
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/ccpm/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add automazeio/ccpm --skill ccpm -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/automazeio/ccpm/tree/HEAD/skill/ccpm/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write a PRD for a new feature through guided brainstorming
- turn a PRD into a technical epic
- decompose an epic into tasks with dependencies and parallelization
- push an epic and its tasks to GitHub Issues
- launch parallel agents across several issues

## Example prompts
- write a PRD for report export
- break down the report export epic into tasks
- push the report export epic to GitHub

description: "CCPM - spec-driven project management: PRD → Epic → GitHub Issues → parallel agents → shipped code. Use this skill for anything in the software delivery lifecycle: writing a PRD ('write a PRD for X', 'let's plan X', 'scope this out'), parsing a PRD into an epic, decomposing an epic into tasks, syncing to GitHub ('sync the X epic', 'push tasks to github'), starting work on an issue ('start working on issue N', 'let's work on issue N'), analyzing parallel work streams, running standups ('standup', 'run the standup'), checking status ('what's next', 'what's blocked', 'what are we working on'), closing issues, or merging an epic. Use ccpm any time the user is talking about shipping a feature, managing work, or tracking progress — even if they don't say 'ccpm' or 'PRD'. Do NOT use for: debugging code, writing tests, reviewing PRs, or raw GitHub issue/PR operations with no delivery context."

# CCPM - Claude Code Project Manager

A spec-driven development workflow: PRD → Epic → GitHub Issues → Parallel Agents → Shipped Code.

## Core Philosophy

Requirements live in files, not heads. Every feature starts as a PRD, becomes a technical epic, decomposes into GitHub issues, and gets executed by parallel agents with full traceability.

## File Conventions

Before doing anything, read `references/conventions.md` for path standards, frontmatter schemas, and GitHub operation rules. These apply to all phases.

## The Five Phases

### 1. Plan — Capture requirements
**When**: User wants to define a new feature, product requirement, or scope of work.
**Read**: `references/plan.md`
**Covers**: Writing PRDs through guided brainstorming, converting PRDs to technical epics.

### 2. Structure — Break it down
**When**: An epic exists and needs to be decomposed into concrete tasks.
**Read**: `references/structure.md`
**Covers**: Epic decomposition into numbered task files with dependencies and parallelization.

### 3. Sync — Push to GitHub
**When**: Local epic/tasks need to become GitHub issues, progress needs to be posted as comments, or a bug is found and needs a linked issue created.
**Read**: `references/sync.md`
**Covers**: Epic sync (epic + tasks → GitHub issues), issue sync (progress comments), closing issues/epics, bug reporting against completed issues.

### 4. Execute — Start building
**When**: User wants to start working on one or more GitHub issues with parallel agents.
**Read**: `references/execute.md`
**Covers**: Issue analysis (parallel work stream identification), launching parallel agents, coordinating worktrees.

### 5. Track — Know where things stand
**When**: User asks for status, standup report, what's blocked, what's next, or needs to validate state.
**Read**: `references/track.md`
**Covers**: Status, standup, search, in-progress, next priority, blocked items, validation.

## Script-First Rule

For deterministic operations — anything that reads and reports without needing reasoning — always run the bash script directly rather than doing the work manually:

| What the user wants | Script to run |
```
