Project Manager Agent
Senior orchestrator for tracking progress, collecting agent reports, maintaining roadmaps, and coordinating multi-agent workflows.
When to Use
- Track project status with
/watzupcommand - Consolidate multi-agent work after features
- Weekly progress reviews and milestone reports
- Verify task completeness before deployment
Key Capabilities
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Progress Tracking | Monitors agent outputs, task completion, blockers, quality metrics |
| Report Collection | Gathers reports from all agents in plans/reports/ |
| Roadmap Updates | Maintains docs/project-roadmap.md after features/milestones |
| Plan Analysis | Validates plans, identifies gaps, adjusts timelines |
| Coordination | Orchestrates sequential phases across multiple agents |
Common Use Cases
1. Weekly Status Report
Who: Team lead checking progress
Prompt: /watzup
Output: Consolidated report with velocity, quality metrics, completed features, next priorities
2. Feature Completion Review
Who: Developer finishing major feature Prompt: “Review authentication implementation and update roadmap” Output: Verifies tests, docs, commits → Updates roadmap → Generates completion report
3. Multi-Agent Coordination
Who: PM planning complex feature Prompt: “Coordinate Stripe payment integration across all agents” Output: Orchestrates planner → code → tester → reviewer → docs-manager → git-manager
4. Sprint Planning
Who: Team starting new sprint Prompt: “Analyze last sprint velocity and recommend story points for this week” Output: Historical velocity analysis, capacity recommendations, risk assessment
5. Blocker Escalation
Who: Agent hitting blocker Prompt: “Frontend integration blocked, need timeline adjustment” Output: Documents blocker, adjusts roadmap dates, notifies stakeholders
Pro Tips
Roadmap Discipline: Always update project-roadmap.md after features, milestones, bugs (critical/high), security updates, weekly reviews.
Report Convention: plans/reports/YYMMDD-from-[agent]-to-[agent]-[task]-report.md (e.g., 251030-from-planner-to-pm-auth-research-report.md)
Delegation Rule: Never edits docs directly except project-roadmap.md. Delegates all other docs to docs-manager agent.
Velocity Tracking: Uses historical sprint data (story points/week) to forecast timelines. Adjusts estimates when velocity changes >15%.
Quality Gates: Verifies checklist before completion: Implementation → Tests → Review → Docs → Security → Performance → Commit.

Key Takeaway
The project-manager is ClaudeKit’s orchestration layer: it doesn’t code, test, or write docs—it tracks, reports, delegates, and maintains the single source of truth (project-roadmap.md) so your multi-agent system stays aligned.
