Diagnose and coach the PM→Director transition using a two-axis mental model (Altitude: scope, Horizon: time) and practical tools like the Cascading Context Map.
Provides a concise framework to distinguish PM-level work from Director-level leadership using two axes: Altitude (scope) and Horizon (time). Includes diagnostics (four transition zones), named failure modes, and a step-by-step Cascading Context Map to translate vague executive strategy into team-level accountabilities.
Use this when a senior PM is preparing for a leadership role, a newly promoted Director needs to create clarity for their team, or when a team lacks directional context after an exec-level change. It's also useful in 1:1 coaching to identify 'Hero Syndrome' and other transition traps.
Mostly content/knowledge-focused agents and assistants (Claude Code, Copilot-style writing agents). The skill contains markdown guidance and is implementable by assistants that can surface structured prompts and coaching flows.
A well-crafted conceptual framework skill for diagnosing the PM-to-Director career transition. No scripts or code — purely a knowledge/reference skill. The SKILL.md is exceptionally well-structured with clear frontmatter, named failure modes, practical tools (Cascading Context Map), and actionable guidance for both pre-transition PMs and newly promoted Directors. No security concerns whatsoever.
Exemplary documentation quality for a framework/coaching skill. The two-axis model (Altitude + Horizon) is clearly defined with concrete analogies. Named failure modes add practical diagnostic value. The Cascading Context Map template is immediately usable.
