PMBOK8 Skill Installer

Install the PMBOK8 Document Generator skill for Claude Code and Codex with one npx command.

This package installs a reusable AI skill that helps turn an existing product flow, working app behavior, repository, UI screens, API behavior, data model, configuration, tests, or business notes into professional PMBOK8-aligned requirement documents, project planning documents, and executive presentation decks.

The skill treats the current codebase or product behavior as live requirements: a behavioral reference used to accelerate product discovery and create documentation for a future real implementation. It is not intended to write documents that describe the current codebase as a POC, prototype, or production system.

What The Skill Does

The PMBOK8 Document Generator acts as a PMBOK 8th edition specialist, senior product manager, project manager, and business analyst.

It can:

• infer user journeys, product flows, business rules, roles, inputs, outputs, edge cases, and constraints from visible application behavior
• convert live requirements into future-state product and project documentation
• create requirement artifacts for sponsor review, PM planning, QA preparation, and engineering handoff
• create executive, sponsor, client, and steering committee presentation decks from the generated documents or live requirements
• separate documents that are useful now from templates that should be used later
• ask for missing project details, such as the intended production technology stack, when estimates or implementation planning depend on it
• keep final documents free from POC, prototype, repository-analysis, or code-generation framing unless explicitly requested

What Can Be Generated

The skill can generate staged documentation packages instead of overwhelming stakeholders with every possible document at once.

Current Requirements And Planning

Useful early documents that can often be produced from live requirements:

• Requirements Documentation Index
• Product Requirements Document
• User Stories and Acceptance Criteria
• Specification by Example / BDD Scenarios
• Requirements Traceability Matrix
• Scope Statement
• Project Charter
• Stakeholder Register
• Risk Register
• Assumptions and Open Questions Log

Delivery Definition And Handoff

Useful when preparing implementation, QA, or engineering handoff:

• Requirements Management Plan
• API Requirements and Integration Contract
• Data Requirements and Data Dictionary
• Non-Functional Requirements
• QA Preparation Plan
• Engineering Handoff Package
• Delivery Roadmap
• Milestone Schedule
• Work Breakdown Structure

Governance And Control

Useful when the project moves toward approval, formal planning, or execution:

• Project Management Plan
• Governance Plan
• Communications Plan
• Change Control Plan
• Issue Log
• Decision Log
• Benefits Realization Plan
• Procurement or Vendor Plan, if relevant

Future-Phase Templates

Templates that can be prepared with known project context and completed later:

• Change Request
• Status Report
• Release Readiness Checklist
• Lessons Learned Report
• Project Closeout Report
• Benefits Realization Report
• Procurement Documents

Executive And Client Presentations

Presentation outputs for sponsor review, client meetings, steering committees, and executive alignment:

• Executive Sponsor Review Deck
• Client Requirements Presentation
• Future-State Application Proposal Deck
• MVP Scope and Roadmap Deck
• Engineering and QA Handoff Summary Deck
• Steering Committee Presentation

The skill is designed to create presentation-ready narratives and can use presentation tooling to generate professional .pptx decks when available. Decks should use infographic-friendly layouts such as journey maps, roadmap timelines, capability maps, scope matrices, risk heatmaps, decision summaries, and integration overview diagrams.

Example Prompts

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create a requirements documentation package from this application.

Use pmbok8-document-generator to infer user stories, acceptance criteria, BDD scenarios, and an API requirements contract from this codebase.

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create a future-state project charter, scope statement, risk register, and delivery roadmap.

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create only the documents stakeholders need now, and list future-phase templates separately.

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create an executive sponsor review deck from the generated requirements package.

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create a client-ready infographic presentation for the future-state application proposal.

Install

npx pmbok8-skill-installer

By default, this installs the skill for every supported agent:

~/.claude/skills/pmbok8-document-generator
~/.codex/skills/pmbok8-document-generator

After installation, open a new Claude Code or Codex session and use:

Use pmbok8-document-generator to create a requirements documentation package.

Options

npx pmbok8-skill-installer --no-overwrite
npx pmbok8-skill-installer --agent claude
npx pmbok8-skill-installer --agent codex
npx pmbok8-skill-installer --agent both

Use --no-overwrite to fail instead of replacing an existing installed copy.

Use --agent to choose where the skill is installed. The default is both.

Custom Home Directories

Claude Code default:

~/.claude/skills/pmbok8-document-generator

Codex default:

~/.codex/skills/pmbok8-document-generator

Set CLAUDE_HOME or CODEX_HOME to install somewhere else:

CLAUDE_HOME=/path/to/.claude npx pmbok8-skill-installer
CODEX_HOME=/path/to/.codex npx pmbok8-skill-installer --agent codex

Notes

The generated documents are PMBOK8-aligned professional project and requirements artifacts. They are not official PMI documents and do not reproduce PMI copyrighted text.
