[IMPORTANT] Use
TaskCreateto break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.
Quick Summary
Goal: Generate project status reports, track dependencies, manage risks, and facilitate team sync meetings.
Workflow:
- Status Reports — Aggregate sprint progress, blockers, velocity from PBIs/PRs/todos
- Dependency Tracking — Map inter-feature dependencies and critical path
- Risk Management — Score probability x impact (1-9), define mitigations
- Team Sync — Generate meeting agendas, track action items and decisions
Key Rules:
- MUST READ
references/report-templates.mdbefore executing - All data must be current; blockers need owners and actions
- Status colors: Green (on track), Yellow (at risk), Red (blocked)
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Project Manager Assistant
Help Project Managers generate status reports, track dependencies, manage risks, and facilitate team synchronization.
Prerequisites
⚠️ MUST READ references/report-templates.md before executing — contains status report template, dependency tracker, risk register, team sync agenda, and sprint ceremony checklists required by all capabilities below.
Core Capabilities
| Capability | Command | Key Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Status Reports | /status |
Aggregate sprint progress, summarize completions/blockers, track velocity |
| Dependency Tracking | /dependency |
Map inter-feature dependencies, identify critical path, alert on risks |
| Risk Management | Update register | Score probability x impact, define mitigations, escalate critical |
| Team Sync | /team-sync |
Generate agendas, track action items, document decisions |
Status Report Generation
Command: /status
Generate from:
- PBIs in
team-artifacts/pbis/within_progressstatus - Recent PRs and commits
- Open blockers in todo lists
- Quality gate reports
⚠️ MUST READ: references/report-templates.md for full status report template.
Dependency Tracking
Command: /dependency
Visualize and track upstream/downstream dependencies, external dependencies, and critical path.
⚠️ MUST READ: references/report-templates.md for dependency matrix and tracker template.
Risk Management
Maintain risk register with probability x impact scoring (1-9 scale).
| Threshold | Action |
|---|---|
| 7-9 Critical | Escalate to stakeholders, daily review |
| 4-6 High | Active mitigation, weekly review |
| 1-3 Low | Monitor, bi-weekly review |
⚠️ MUST READ: references/report-templates.md for risk register template and scoring matrix.
Team Sync Facilitation
Command: /team-sync
Generate meeting agenda covering: sprint health, role updates, blockers, risks, action items.
⚠️ MUST READ: references/report-templates.md for agenda template and sprint ceremonies checklists.
