Summary

Adds a pm MCP prompt so /flare:pm is available in every project, next to /flare:git, /flare:handoff, /flare:artifact and /flare:optimize*.

Before this, pm existed only as the mcp__flare__pm tool and as .claude/commands/pm.md, which is project-scoped and committed only in this repo. The flare MCP server is registered at user scope, so registering the prompt there is what makes it show up in other projects.

  • src/mcp_prompts.rs: registers pm (argument command: standup|groom|plan|health|portfolio|mode on|mode off; omit for the daily kickoff) and routes it to get_pm_command.
  • The prompt body embeds .claude/commands/pm.md with include_str!, frontmatter stripped and $ARGUMENTS substituted, so there is one source of truth and no second copy to drift.
  • The literal /pm PM-mode flag is set by a UserPromptSubmit hook that does not fire for MCP prompts. The prompt therefore tells the agent to call the pm tool with action=mode_on / mode_off itself.
  • docs-site/.../mcp-tools.md: lists /pm under MCP Prompts.
  • CHANGELOG untouched (generated by release-plz).

Tracks agentflare item #604 (not GitHub PR/issue #604).

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --check clean
  • cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic exits 0
  • cargo test --bin agentflare mcp_prompts: 24 passed, including 4 new (lists_pm_prompt, bare_pm_prompt_returns_kickoff_and_mode_instruction, pm_prompt_substitutes_command_argument, pm_prompt_embeds_mode_off_subcommand)
  • Full cargo test --workspace (left to CI)
  • Manual: after installing the rebuilt binary, /flare:pm appears and runs in a fresh session in a different project

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the /pm MCP prompt with support for kickoff, standup, grooming, planning, health, portfolio, and PM mode commands.
    • Added support for running PM workflows across projects, including argument substitution and PM mode toggling.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the /pm MCP prompt and its available commands.

Register a pm MCP prompt beside git/handoff/artifact. It embeds
.claude/commands/pm.md (frontmatter stripped, $ARGUMENTS substituted) so
there is one source of truth, and tells the agent to set PM mode via the pm
tool since the /pm UserPromptSubmit hook does not fire for MCP prompts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the /pm MCP prompt. It embeds the PM command content, supports command arguments and mode control, documents supported commands, and adds tests.

Changes

PM MCP Prompt

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register and generate the PM prompt
src/mcp_prompts.rs
The prompt registry lists and dispatches pm. Generation removes YAML frontmatter, substitutes $ARGUMENTS, and includes instructions for pm mode control.
Validate and document PM commands
src/mcp_prompts.rs, docs-site/src/content/docs/mcp-tools.md
Tests cover listing, kickoff behavior, argument substitution, and mode off. The documentation lists supported /pm commands and the backing tool.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7b4f2

A crafted PM command can alter the prompt's tool-capable workflow rather than being treated as a supported command. Validate and canonicalize the command before merging.

Constrain pm MCP arguments before embedding them.

The command argument is only documented, not validated. get_pm_command accepts any string and replaces $ARGUMENTS directly in a template that tells the agent to parse the replacement as instructions. A crafted value containing quotes, newlines, or instruction text can therefore influence the tool-capable agent's PM actions.

Parse command against the documented PM grammar and interpolate only canonical values. If free-form arguments must remain, escape delimiters, wrap the value in a named data tag such as <pm_command>, and update .claude/commands/pm.md to treat only that tag's content as command data. Add a test with an instruction-like value.
