name: aico-pm-init description: | Initialize PM environment by creating constitution document from template.
Use this skill when:
- Running /pm.init command
- User asks to "initialize PM", "setup product management", "create constitution"
- Starting a new project and need to establish product constraints and domain info
- Need to create docs/reference/pm/constitution.md for a new project
PM Init
Initialize the product constitution document that provides shared constraints and domain information for all PM activities.
Language Configuration
Before generating any content, check aico.json in project root for language field to determine the output language. If not set, default to English.
Process
- Check existing: Look for
docs/reference/pm/constitution.md - If exists: Ask user if they want to overwrite or update specific sections
- If not exists:
- Read template from
references/constitution.template.md - Guide user through questions to fill template
- Read template from
- Save output: Write to
docs/reference/pm/constitution.md
Document Header Format
All generated documents MUST use this unified header format:
# [Document Title]
> Project: [project-name]
> Created: YYYY-MM-DD
> Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD
Guided Questions
Ask user about:
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| Product Overview | Product name? One-line description? Target users? |
| Domain Info | Industry/market? Key terminology? Compliance requirements? |
| Constraints | Technical stack? Business constraints? |
| Standards | Documentation language? Naming conventions? |
Template
See references/constitution.template.md for the full constitution template.
Update Instructions File
After creating constraint files, update the project's AI instructions file to reference them:
-
Check for existing instructions file:
- Look for
CLAUDE.md(Claude Code) orAGENTS.md(Codex) in project root - If neither exists, create
CLAUDE.md
- Look for
-
Add reference section at the end of the file:
## Reference Documents The following constraint documents should be read before starting work: - `docs/reference/pm/constitution.md` - Product constitution with domain info and constraints -
If file already has Reference Documents section: Append the new reference if not already present
Output
✓ Created docs/reference/pm/constitution.md
✓ Updated CLAUDE.md with reference to constitution
✓ PM environment initialized
Key Rules
- ALWAYS use the unified header format
- MUST guide user through key questions before generating
- ALWAYS save to
docs/reference/pm/constitution.md - MUST update CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md with reference to constraint files
