Eight AI project management personas for Claude Code, Cursor, and npm-based skill install.

Site: pmbutler.dev � Repository: github.com/tedrubin80/pmbutler � npm: pm-butler

Install

Claude Code (plugin marketplace)

/plugin marketplace add tedrubin80/pmbutler
/plugin install pmbutler

Invoke: /pmbutler:pm-butler init

Local dev test:

claude --plugin-dir .

Cursor / Claude (personal skill via npm)

npx pm-butler skills install
npx pm-butler skills check

Project Edition (decision logs in your repo)

Scaffold living markdown files for decisions, scope, risks, and lessons:

npx pm-butler docs init
npx pm-butler docs init --dir docs/pm   # optional subdirectory
npx pm-butler docs check

Creates PROJECT.md plus eleven Project Edition files (DECISIONS.md, SCOPE.md, RISKS.md, etc.). Commit them to git � that is the durable record. Personas update these files during /pm-butler commands.

Persistent memory (optional)

Programmable structured memory in a local folder or SQLite database:

# Git-friendly JSON under .claude/pm-butler/memory/
npx pm-butler memory init --enable --path .claude/pm-butler --backend folder

# SQLite under .pm-butler/sqlite/pm-butler.db (Node 22+)
npx pm-butler memory init --enable --path .pm-butler --backend sqlite

npx pm-butler memory status
npx pm-butler memory config --enable --backend folder --path .claude/pm-butler
npx pm-butler memory log --type decision --title "Pick npm for install" --body "..."
npx pm-butler memory list --type decision --limit 10

Settings live in PROJECT.md (Persistent memory section) and <path>/config.json. Toggle anytime with memory config --enable or --disable.
