Repo Kanban PM System

What this skill does

Sets up a multi-agent-safe product workflow in a repo:

• docs/roadmap/ROADMAP.md as the portfolio status
• docs/features/<feature>/KANBAN.md as execution boards
• docs/pm/bugs/ as the bug intake + triage inbox (linkable into KANBAN)
• Updates AGENTS.md to enforce the workflow
• (Optional) creates a daily OpenClaw cron job to run a PM review (includes bug triage)

When to use this skill (decision rule)

Use repo-kanban-pm when you are tasked with either:

1. Creating/spinning up a new project/repo and multiple agents will work on it (or you want to avoid chaos later).

   • Goal: install ROADMAP + per-feature KANBAN boards immediately.

2. Entering an existing repo to fix, refactor, or restructure it and it does not have a clear feature/backlog tracking system.

   • Goal: introduce the kanban workflow so subsequent work is trackable and PRs stay aligned.

Do not use this skill if the repo already has an equivalent system that the team actively uses (avoid duplicating governance).

Quick start

1) Initialize the repo workflow

Run:

bash scripts/init_repo_pm.sh /absolute/path/to/repo

This will:

• create docs/pm/ with the workflow doc + template
• create docs/pm/bugs/ with bug README + template
• add KANBAN.md to any existing docs/features/*/ folders
• patch AGENTS.md to include the kanban rules (idempotent)

2) Add a daily PM cron (optional)

Run:

bash scripts/add_daily_pm_cron.sh /absolute/path/to/repo --agent persey --tz Europe/Minsk --time 10:00

Operating rules (agents)

1. Pick a feature from docs/roadmap/ROADMAP.md
2. Create/update docs/features/<feature>/KANBAN.md and set status to in-progress
3. Create a branch: feat/<feature-slug>-<short>
4. PR must link the feature’s KANBAN.md
5. On merge: mark KANBAN.md as done and tick the ROADMAP checkbox

Templates

• Workflow spec: docs/pm/KANBAN-SYSTEM.md
• Feature template: docs/pm/FEATURE-KANBAN-TEMPLATE.md

Notes

• Keep KANBAN boards short.
• ROADMAP contains status only; do not duplicate per-task detail there.
