Automated summary

A backward-compatibility alias that immediately redirects the legacy `/pm` command (or an `@pm` delegation) to the `@horizon` skill, which owns the VNX future-state layer (roadmap → tracks → deliverables) and the plan-first gate.

Strengths

  • Keeps existing `/pm` invocations and `@pm` delegation references resolving during the transition
  • Explicit, unambiguous redirect to `@horizon` as soon as it is loaded
  • Minimal tool surface (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash) scoped to .vnx-data, claudedocs and ROADMAP.yaml
  • Clearly records the rename date (2026-07-05) and points to the successor skill

Limitations

  • Carries no independent instructions; all real behavior lives in `.claude/skills/horizon/SKILL.md`
  • Assumes the `@horizon` skill is installed and reachable, otherwise the redirect fails
  • Relies on the `vnx horizon` / `vnx objective` tooling being available in the environment
When to use it

Use it only when a still-existing `/pm` command or `@pm` delegation reference needs to resolve during the transition window.

When not to use it

Avoid it for any new work: call `@horizon` or `vnx horizon` directly, since those hold the actual instructions.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score75/100

The skill is a redirect stub that instructs loading another skill; it contains no destructive, exfiltration, or obfuscated commands. Declared Bash capability is not invoked by any instruction in this file, and no dangerous operations are present.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Legacy slash command
/pm — break the Q3 roadmap down into tracks and deliverables
Existing @pm delegation
Use @pm to run the plan-first gate on the new VNX objective before we start coding
Resolving an old reference
The planner still delegates to @pm; resolve it and update the roadmap with `vnx horizon`

name: pm description: > Backward-compat alias for @horizon (this skill was renamed from pm to Horizon on 2026-07-05). USE THIS only when invoked directly as /pm or via an existing @pm delegation reference — it redirects immediately to @horizon, the strategic owner of the VNX future-state layer (roadmap -> tracks -> deliverables) and the plan-first gate. Prefer @horizon / vnx horizon for anything new; this alias exists only for transition safety. user-invocable: true allowed-tools: [Read, Grep, Glob, Bash] paths: [".vnx-data/", "claudedocs/", "ROADMAP.yaml"]

PM — alias for Horizon (renamed 2026-07-05)

pm was renamed to Horizon. This file exists ONLY as a backward-compat pointer so existing /pm invocations and @pm delegation references (e.g. in planner) keep resolving during the transition. It carries no independent instructions.

Load @horizon now and follow its instructions in full instead of this file. See .claude/skills/horizon/SKILL.md for the actual skill: the strategic owner of the VNX future-state layer (roadmap -> tracks -> deliverables) and the plan-first gate, driven via vnx horizon (alias vnx objective).

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/download' --output '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/pm' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d' '.claude/skills/pm'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d'

openskills read 'pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/pm-alias-for-horizon-mtz9jq8d/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
