PM-Kit

Turn your AI coding tool into a PM workspace, knowledge hub, and execution engine.

Disclaimer

This is not gospel. This is not the holy grail.

PM-Kit is one system that works. It is a guideline and mindset shift, not a rigid rulebook.

The principles in _core/MANIFESTO.md may resonate with you, or they may not. That is fine. Take what works. Ignore what does not. Make it yours.

You will get better results through repetition. The framework should adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.

Quick Start

Option A: CLI Install (Recommended)

# 1. Install the CLI
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kv0906/pm-kit/main/cli/install.sh | bash

# 2. Create your vault
pm-kit init ~/Documents/my-vault
cd ~/Documents/my-vault

# 3. Open the folder in Obsidian, then run Claude Code
claude
/onboard

Option B: GitHub Template

# 1. Use this template on GitHub (or clone)
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd pm-kit

# 2. Open the folder in Obsidian

# 3. Run Claude Code
claude
/onboard

/onboard sets up your project, learns your preferences, and loads context. Full walkthrough: START_HERE.md

Daily Routine

/today                # Guided workflow: standup → sync → review → focus → wrap-up
/today wrap           # Jump to end-of-day summary

Or for quick atomic updates:

/daily my-project: shipped X, wip Y, blocked on Z
/push

Weekly Routine

/weekly
/push

Updating

# CLI users
pm-kit update            # Update framework files from latest release
pm-kit self-update       # Update the CLI itself

# Template users
./scripts/update.sh      # Update framework files from latest release

Or from within Claude: /update

Updates only touch framework files (skills, templates, scripts, docs). Your notes, config, and content are never modified. Backups are saved to _archive/_updates/.

All Commands

Smarter /ask with QMD (Optional)

Install QMD for hybrid search (BM25 + vector + rerank) that dramatically improves /ask accuracy. Requires bun and technical comfort with CLI tools. Without QMD, /ask still works using vault grep.

# 1. Install bun (if not installed)
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# 2. Install QMD and set up your vault
bun install -g github:tobi/qmd
qmd collection add . --name pm-kit

# 3. Build the search index
qmd embed

After setup, /ask automatically uses QMD when available. No command changes needed.

Having trouble? See handbook/QMD_INTEGRATION.md or open an issue.
