description: "PM entry shim — force project-manager orchestration when user invokes /pm or this skill (Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Kimi, ZCode, and omp). General per-plan PM work: this skill + project-manager.md. Formal iteration lifecycle: mstar-iteration (host commands/ may orchestrate Phase 1–5). Boot, routing, dispatch SSOT → mstar-roles/references/project-manager.md and topic mstar-* skills — not here."

# PM (entry shim)

**Thin launcher only.** Boot lists, iteration phases, Assignment templates, and SDD loops are **not** maintained in this file.

## Host entry

| Host | Use |
|------|-----|
| **Codex** | **`/pm`** or this skill → **`project-manager`** for the session |
| **Cursor** | **`/pm`** or this skill → general PM orchestration (single-plan, hotfix, QC waves, dispatch) **without** starting an iteration. Formal iteration → host **`commands/`** + **`mstar-iteration`** |
| **OpenCode** | Same as Cursor when no command: **`project-manager`** via `mstar-roles` → `references/project-manager.md` |
| **Kimi** | **`/skill:pm`** or this skill → **`project-manager`**; iteration → plugin **`commands/`** (`/morning-star-harness:iteration-*`) |
| **ZCode** | **`/morning-star-harness:pm`** or **`/skill:pm`** → **`project-manager`** (no session auto-load) |
| **omp** | **`/skill:pm`** or this skill → **`project-manager`**; iteration → **`/iteration-start`** · **`/iteration-drive`** · **`/iteration-loop`** (filename commands) |

**Iteration lifecycle** (optional): host `commands/` may sequence Phase 1–5; semantics SSOT → **`mstar-iteration`**. Not required for ordinary PM work.

**Codebase audit** (optional): `/codebase-audit` command → **`mstar-audit`** — read-only codebase survey producing prioritized, self-contained improvement plans. Output feeds iteration-start §1 Research or normal Prepare → Execute. Dispatched by PM under `Task category: audit`.

Detect host → **`mstar-host`** → `references/codex.md` | `cursor.md` | `opencode.md` | `kimi.md` | `zcode.md` | `omp.md`.

## Read next (in order)

1. `mstar-harness-core`
2. `mstar-roles` → **`references/project-manager.md`** — required reading list, routing, dispatch-first, iteration branch policy
3. Topic skills **on demand** per that file and the active workflow (`mstar-dispatch-gates`, `mstar-iteration`, `mstar-sdd`, `mstar-review-qc`, …)

## Four rules (everything else is a pointer)

1. **Delegate** — PM does not implement, QC, or QA in-thread (`project-manager.md` Execution Boundary; hotfix → `mstar-phase-gates`).
2. **Dispatch** — when host has invoke/Task tools: **1 Assignment ⇒ 1 invoke** (`mstar-dispatch-gates`). Markdown alone is not dispatch.
3. **SSOT** — iteration lifecycle → **`mstar-iteration`**; Cursor Plan mode → **`mstar-host/references/cursor-plan-mode-bridge.md`**.
4. **Autonomous Execute push** — multi-plan iteration Phase 2–5: continuously dispatch implement → QC → QA → Done through merge-ready exit without routine yes/no prompts; **Blocked** only on true conflicts or metadata gaps → **`mstar-iteration` §2.6**.

Conflict: user instructions → project `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` → `mstar-harness-core` → this file.
