Stacks

Your team and tech context. Skills read these to generate relevant outputs.

How Skills Use Stacks​

Skill: /pm-prd-write "payment feature"
│
├── Reads tech.md → Knows you use PostgreSQL
├── Reads team.md → Knows 2-week sprints
└── Generates PRD with relevant context

Updating Stacks​

Edit the markdown files directly. Changes apply to the next skill run.

If you learn something should always be in stack context:
