SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing and documenting a project management tool is often ad hoc and inconsistent across teams. This Skill standardizes the decision by applying a structured resolution cascade (argument override, existing adoption, or full assessment) and records the outcome as an architecture decision log entry. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Resolution Cascade: Checks for an explicit tool choice, then existing adoption in way-of-working.md, before running a full assessment. - Decision Matrix Evaluation: Scores PM tools on team size, complexity, integration, cost, learning curve, customization, reporting, and mobile support using guideline documents. - Adoption & Decision Recording: Writes the PM tool section into way-of-working.md and composes /capability-record-decision to log the choice as a non-architectural ADL entry. - Use Case: During project bootstrap, a team needs to pick between GitHub Projects and a filesystem-based tracker; the Skill evaluates context from the PRD and methodology, recommends a tool, and delegates configuration to /capability-setup-pm. ## Quick Start Run the capability-assess-pm skill to evaluate and select a project management tool for this project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a project management tool for my project?▼

Apply a decision matrix that scores tools on team size, complexity, integration, cost, learning curve, customization, reporting, and mobile support. The Skill reads your PRD and methodology context, then recommends a tool with a weighted score and rationale.

How to skip the PM tool assessment with a known choice?▼

Pass the tool name as the $choice argument, for example github or filesystem. The Skill confirms the choice, checks for conflicts with existing adoption, and proceeds directly to recording the decision.

What happens if a PM tool is already adopted in way-of-working.md?▼

The Skill detects the existing PM tool configuration, confirms it is still valid, and exits without changes. If the corresponding decision record is missing, it backfills one by composing the record-decision skill.

Does the skill configure the PM tool after choosing it?▼

No, configuration is delegated to the separate /capability-setup-pm skill when installed. If that skill is unavailable, the assessment writes the PM tool section into way-of-working.md directly and warns about manual setup.

Can I use multiple project management tools in one project?▼

No, only one PM tool per project is supported. If multiple tools are needed, document the primary tool in the adoption file and handle secondary tools outside this workflow.
