What pm-skill-creator does

This skill guides you through the entire authoring flow via conversation instead of static templates. The agent asks up to 5 adaptive questions. You can pick between three opening modes: a guided step-by-step interview, a direct context dump, or a rough topic outline. An entire session takes about 10-15 minutes.

During the exchange, the assistant categorizes your content into one of three skill types: component, interactive, or workflow. It then writes out the full document with all 7 non-negotiable sections, including input criteria and failure modes. It also enforces metadata limits, such as kebab-case names under 64 characters and descriptions within 200 characters.

This helper focuses strictly on discovery and shaping before code generation begins. If you already have a finalized structure and just need linting gates, reach for skill-authoring-workflow instead. The conversational route shines when dealing with messy workshop notes or half-formed frameworks.

What it helps with

convert workshop notes and raw ideas into a compliant SKILL.md document
choose the right skill type between component, interactive, and workflow
draft all 7 required specification sections without copying boilerplate
formalize product management frameworks into structured AI instructions

Example prompts for the agent
