AI agent skills for project and task management

Planning skills turn a vague request into a document with a shape: scope, sequence, what is explicitly out. The ones worth keeping make the agent surface the decisions it had to guess at rather than burying them in a confident plan. Treat estimates from any of them as fiction — what they are good at is decomposition, not duration.

Which agents can use these project and task management skills?

Any agent that reads SKILL.md files: Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode and 60+ others. The format is not vendor-specific, so the same file works everywhere — each agent just keeps its skills in a different directory, listed at /agents.

Are these project and task management skills free?

Yes. Searching, reading and installing skills on SkillMD is free and needs no account. Individual skills carry their own licence, shown on each skill's page.
