What This Skill Does

Coding PM acts as your professional project manager and quality assurance agent for software development. It bridges the gap between your high-level product requirements and technical execution by managing a background instance of Claude Code. When you provide a task, Coding PM handles the lifecycle: it inspects your codebase, establishes a dedicated Git worktree for the feature, initializes a project-specific planning session, and oversees the engineering workflow. It ensures that requirements are clearly communicated to the coding engine, gated by approval stages, and validated through a three-layer testing protocol before notifying you of completion.

Installation

To integrate this agent into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/horacehxw/coding-pm. Ensure your environment has the claude CLI installed and authenticated via claude auth status before running the skill. The system will automatically locate the necessary supervisor prompts and configure the required directory structures in your workspace.

Use Cases

• Feature Implementation: Quickly spin up a new branch and have an autonomous engineer build out a requested component while you focus on other work.
• Refactoring Projects: Delegate the technical heavy lifting of library migrations or codebase restructuring to a background agent that adheres to your established coding standards.
• Bug Remediation: Provide a bug report, and let the Coding PM manage the replication, fix, and verification cycle within an isolated worktree.

Example Prompts

• "/dev Implement a user authentication middleware using JWT and integrate it into the existing Express router."
• "/dev Refactor the data parsing module in /src/utils to handle malformed JSON inputs without crashing."
• "/dev Create a new unit test suite for the payment processing module covering all edge cases for transaction timeouts."

Tips & Limitations

• Non-blocking Workflow: The skill is designed to run entirely in the background; you will receive proactive updates, so avoid monitoring the logs manually unless you need to intervene.
• Context Handling: Always provide clear, concise requirements. Because this agent does not make architectural decisions, the quality of its output is directly proportional to the clarity of your instructions.
• Cleanup: Remember that the skill creates temporary Git worktrees; while it manages them effectively, it is good practice to prune your ~/.worktrees directory periodically.
