Utility Pm Skill Builder

If you're building the pm-skills library itself, this is your scaffolding tool. It walks you through creating a new PM skill from idea to complete implementation packet, running gap analysis against existing skills, enforcing a "Why Gate" when there's overlap, and generating all the files (SKILL.md, TEMPLATE.md, EXAMPLE.md, command frontmatter) in a staging area before promotion. It handles the three skill types (domain, foundation, utility), picks exemplars to match your structure, and validates everything against CI rules. The design is opinionated about keeping the library coherent. Use it when you want guided creation that follows repo conventions. Skip it if you're just tweaking an existing skill or working outside this framework.

PM Skill Builder

This skill creates new PM skills for the pm-skills library. It produces a Skill Implementation Packet - a complete design document with draft files in a staging area for review before promotion to canonical locations.

When to Use

When you have an idea for a new PM skill
When you want to add a domain skill (phase-specific), foundation skill (cross-cutting), or utility skill (meta/tooling) to the pm-skills library
When a contributor needs guided skill creation that follows repo conventions

When NOT to Use

To modify or improve an existing skill → use utility-pm-skill-iterate
To audit an existing skill against conventions → use utility-pm-skill-validate
To create a skill for a non-pm-skills context → use a general agent skill builder
To create a workflow → workflows are authored directly, not via this builder
