Project Management Context

Provides a unified interface for project management operations across different tools. This skill auto-loads when Claude detects work related to project management.

PM Tool Detection

Detect the project's PM tool in this order:

1. CLAUDE.md configuration:

   ## Project Management
   pm_tool: linear
   pm_team: Chronicle
   

2. Settings file (.claude/settings.json):

   {
     "pm": {
       "tool": "jira",
       "project": "PROJ",
       "api_url": "https://company.atlassian.net"
     }
   }
   

3. File detection:

   • .linear/ directory → Linear
   • .jira.d/ or jira.config → Jira
   • .github/ with projects → GitHub Projects
   • BACKLOG.md or backlog.md → Markdown

4. Default: Markdown (no external tool required)

Loading the Appropriate Adapter

Once detected, load the corresponding adapter:

Tool	Adapter File	CLI
Linear	adapters/linear.md	linctl
Jira	adapters/jira.md	jira
GitHub	adapters/github.md	gh
Markdown	adapters/markdown.md	filesystem

Operations Interface

All adapters implement the operations defined in interface.md. Use these generic operations in skills rather than tool-specific commands.

Terminology

Use generic terminology in all skill interactions:

Generic Term	Description
work item	Any trackable unit (issue, ticket, task)
epic	Large body of work containing features
feature	Discrete capability within an epic
task	Atomic implementation unit
sprint	Time-boxed execution container
backlog	Prioritized list of work items
project	Container for related work

Usage in Skills

Skills should:

1. Call pm-context to detect the active PM tool
2. Load the appropriate adapter
3. Use interface operations, not direct CLI calls
4. Use generic terminology in outputs

Example pattern:

## Step 1: Get Work Item Context
Use pm-context to fetch the work item:
- Detect PM tool from project config
- Load [interface.md](../pm-context/interface.md) for operation spec
- Call `get_item(item_id)` via the appropriate adapter
