Skills Reference

LLPM implements the Agent Skills standard for reusable AI instruction sets. This means skills you create for LLPM can be used with other compatible systems like Claude Code.

LLPM includes 19 core skills organized into 6 categories:

CategorySkillsPurpose
Planning5Project planning, requirements, timelines
Visualization3Architecture diagrams, dependency maps
Communication2Stakeholder updates, meeting agendas
Documentation3Markdown formatting, user stories, FAQs
Analysis3Risk detection, triage, gap analysis
Research3Web research, summaries, note synthesis

How Skills Work

  1. Discovery: LLPM scans skill directories for SKILL.md files
  2. Loading: Skills are parsed and registered in the system
  3. Activation: Enabled skills are injected into the AI’s system prompt
  4. Execution: The AI follows skill instructions when relevant
