Project-manager-skill is a new ChatGPT skill that keeps a software project's milestones, handoffs and QA in one private Space
finna has released a self-contained ChatGPT skill that manages a software, app or game project from vision through milestones, exact-build QA and fix-and-retest loops, with 126 stars in five days.

Why it mattersA single workflow that keeps decisions, screenshots and QA evidence in one project Space saves the solo founder and the small team the hour each week they spend rebuilding what the last chat forgot.
A software project managed through ChatGPT loses the last conversation every time a new one starts, and the screenshots, decisions and build notes have to be rebuilt from scratch. GitHub user finna has released project-manager-skill, a self-contained ChatGPT skill that holds the vision, breaks it into small milestones, hands work to an implementation thread, tests the exact build that came back, and keeps everything in one private Space the model refers to on every turn. The repository at github.com/finna/project-manager-skill was created on 30 September 2026 and the author counts 126 stars in the five days since.
The skill is invoked with @project-manager followed by what the project is and what should happen next. The author's example is "Manage this app through the agreed milestones. Use my existing implementation thread, test each exact build, and keep the project Space current." From there the skill carries the project through five phases, in the author's wording: an agreed vision, small milestones, implementation handoffs, testing of exact builds, and fix-and-retest loops. Progress, decisions, screenshots and versioned QA evidence live in the project Space.
What the skill will not do on its own
The author is direct about the limit, and that is the part a reader checking before adopting it should read first. "The skill supplies a workflow, not tools, credentials, permissions, or unattended execution." The skill needs connected and authorized tools before it will do anything, and it will not authorize public publication, production deployment, merging to a branch, spending money, or account changes. A ChatGPT skill cannot run while nobody is watching, and this one does not claim it can.
Who the skill replaces on a small team
project-manager-skill covers the two jobs that a one-person team usually does by hand: the project manager who writes the milestones and the person who installs the exact build and tests it. For a solo founder working on an app or game, those are the two jobs that had to be rebuilt from memory at the start of every new chat. For a small team with a human project manager, the skill is the one taking notes and the one running the tests on each build, with the human picking the milestones.
The repository holds the skill as a single SKILL.md file designed to be installed in a ChatGPT project Space. finna has made 2 commits on the main branch, there is one open issue, and the licence field is empty. The latest push was on the same day the project was created, 30 September 2026, so what is on GitHub is the first release of the skill.
A workflow that remembers the last build, the last decision and the last screenshot gives ChatGPT a durable project record, instead of a single conversation that resets each time. For the team already using ChatGPT for software work, that record is the one thing it has been missing.
