Project Management Skill

Overview

This skill orchestrates Kurt project workflows by managing sources (ground truth), targets (content to update/create), and project progress. It delegates operational details to specialized subskills and domain skills.

For usage examples and workflows, see CLAUDE.md.

Subskills

Core Workflow Subskills

create-project - Create a new Kurt project

• •Entry point: /create-project slash command or project-management create-project
• •Workflow: intent → name → onboarding → sources → targets → rules → structure
• •See: subskills/create-project.md

resume-project - Resume work on existing project

• •Entry point: /resume-project slash command or project-management resume-project [name]
• •Workflow: load context → check onboarding → check content → recommend → validate rules
• •See: subskills/resume-project.md

clone-project - Clone a template project and customize it

• •Entry point: /clone-project slash command or project-management clone-project [template-name]
• •Workflow: select template → preview → customize → create
• •Templates: weekly-tutorial, product-launch, tutorial-refresh, documentation-audit, gap-analysis, competitive-analysis
• •See: subskills/clone-project.md

check-onboarding - Verify organizational onboarding complete

• •Entry point: Called by create-project and resume-project subskills
• •Checks: profile exists, loads organizational context from .kurt/profile.md
• •Can invoke: onboarding operations if incomplete (setup-content, setup-rules, setup-analytics)
• •See: subskills/check-onboarding.md

Iterative Workflow Subskills

gather-sources - Orchestrate iterative source gathering

• •Entry point: Called by create-project and resume-project subskills
• •Routes to: research-skill, kurt CLI (map/fetch), cms-interaction-skill, local handling
• •Pattern: Two-checkpoint validation (propose → execute → review → iterate)
• •See: subskills/gather-sources.md

extract-rules - Orchestrate iterative rule extraction

• •Entry point: Called by create-project, resume-project, and check-onboarding subskills
• •Routes to: writing-rules-skill with preview mode
• •Pattern: Analyze → preview → approve → extract → review → iterate
• •See: subskills/extract-rules.md

Technical Details

Project Structure

projects/<project-name>/
├── project.md           # Project manifest
├── sources/             # Project-specific sources only (PDFs, notes)
└── drafts/              # Work in progress

Key principle: Web content lives in /sources/ (org KB), not project folders.

Key Operations

Add sources to project:

• •Web content: Ingest to /sources/ first, then reference in project.md
• •Local files: Copy to projects/<name>/sources/, reference in project.md
• •Delegated to: gather-sources subskill for full workflow

Add targets to project:

• •Existing content: Reference content in /sources/ within project.md Targets section
• •New content: Note planned location in project.md Targets section

Update project.md:

• •Sources section: Track org KB references and project-specific files
• •Targets section: Track content to update or create
• •Progress section: Mark completed tasks with dates
• •Rules section: List applicable rules for project

Check project status:

• •Read project.md for context
• •Count sources/targets (checked vs unchecked)
• •Check Progress section
• •Recommend next actions based on gaps

project.md Format

See KURT.md for complete project.md specification.

Key sections:

• •Goal and Intent Category
• •Sources (From Organizational Knowledge Base + Project-Specific Sources)
• •Targets (Existing Content to Update + New Content to Create)
• •Rules Configuration (Style, Structure, Personas, Publisher, custom types)
• •Progress
• •Next Steps

Delegates to:

• •kurt CLI - For fetching web content to /sources/ (kurt map + kurt fetch)
• •writing-rules-skill - For extracting patterns from content (via extract-rules subskill)
• •content-writing-skill - For creating/updating target content with lineage
• •research-skill - For gathering research sources (via gather-sources subskill)
• •cms-interaction-skill - For CMS content sources (via gather-sources subskill)

Called by:

• •/create-project slash command → create-project subskill
• •/resume-project slash command → resume-project subskill

Key Principles

1. •Orchestration, not execution - Subskills delegate operational details to domain skills
2. •Batch operations - Always use --url-prefix for multiple URLs (never loop individual commands)
3. •Progressive disclosure - Only required info (name/goal) upfront, rest is optional
4. •Onboarding first - Check organizational context before project-specific work
5. •Rule validation - Check coverage before content work begins
6. •project.md as manifest - Single source of truth for project state (for now)
