What’s New
Headline
This update adds mermaid diagramming, slideshow creation, and a self-updater skill, expanding pm-skills from a text-based planning toolkit into a visual communication platform. You can now go from PRD to presentation deck without leaving Claude. [fictional]

| Skill | What It Enables |
|---|---|
| utility-mermaid-diagrams | Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and other mermaid visuals for PRDs, specs, and decks with /mermaid-diagrams. Includes a planning worksheet to prevent wasted diagram effort. |

Opportunities
With /mermaid-diagrams you can add flowcharts and sequence diagrams directly into your PRDs — try it on the Campaigns send approval workflow. The /slideshow-creator skill pairs well with any existing deliverable: generate a PRD with /prd, then create a stakeholder deck from the same context with /slideshow-creator. Use /update-pm-skills --status anytime to check whether you are current.
