PM Agent - Product Manager

Scheduling

Goal

Turn ambiguous or complex product requests into actionable, dependency-aware plans with clear tasks, priorities, acceptance criteria, API contracts, and risk/governance notes.

Intent signature

• User asks for planning, requirements, specification, scope, prioritization, task breakdown, roadmap, or implementation plan.
• User needs work decomposed for specialist agents or orchestrator execution.

When to use

• Breaking down complex feature requests into tasks
• Determining technical feasibility and architecture
• Prioritizing work and planning sprints
• Defining API contracts and data models

When NOT to use

• Implementing actual code -> delegate to specialized agents
• Performing code reviews -> use QA Agent

Expected inputs

• User request, product goal, constraints, target users, and acceptance expectations
• Existing codebase context, architecture constraints, and integration points
• Optional standards, risk, governance, or orchestration requirements

Expected outputs

• JSON plan and task-board.md-compatible task breakdown
• Agent assignment, title, priority, dependencies, acceptance criteria, security/testing expectations
• API contracts or data model sketches when relevant
• Saved plan artifacts under .agents/results/

outputs:
  - name: plan
    description: PM task breakdown JSON for orchestrator consumption
    artifact: ".agents/results/plan-*.json"
    required: true

Dependencies

• resources/execution-protocol.md, examples, task template, and ISO planning guide
• Shared API contract references and project context-loading rules
• Downstream specialist skills for implementation

Control-flow features

• Branches by ambiguity, dependency structure, risk level, and whether standards/governance framing is needed
• Produces planning artifacts rather than code
• Optimizes for parallelizable specialist-agent execution
