SKILL.md
Purpose
Guide PMs and Directors through the specific challenges of the PM-to-Director transition using adaptive questions and targeted coaching. Diagnoses where you are in the journey and delivers practical, war-story-backed guidance calibrated to your situation — not generic leadership advice.
This is not a readiness checklist. It's a coaching conversation that names what's actually hard, why it's hard, and what to do about it.
Input
Works best with: Where you are in the PM-to-Director journey: preparing for the jump, interviewing, newly landed, or recalibrating after a rough start. Also useful: Your org context (team size, who you'd report to) and the specific friction you're feeling.
Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The advisor opens by asking which of the four situations describes you, then branches.
Example invocation: I'm 60 days into a Director role and my old peers now report to me — it's awkward and I'm still doing PM work. Coach me.
