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

For project.md format specification, see KURT.md.
