Pm Risks

/pm-risks

Risk radar for a Huly tracker project. Surfaces issues / milestones that need PM attention this week. Output only — never writes to Huly.

Requires the huly MCP server.

Args

/pm-risks <PROJECT> [--stale-days 7] [--block-threshold 3]

• PROJECT — identifier or _id. Required. If missing, ask.
• --stale-days — threshold for "stuck" rule. Default 7.
• --block-threshold — minimum dependents for the "bottleneck" rule. Default 3.

Steps

1. huly_list_statuses { project } — map status _id → name + category, identify which statuses are done / cancelled.
2. huly_list_issues { project, limit: 500 } — full dataset.
3. huly_list_milestones { project } — milestone status + target dates.
4. huly_get_detailed_time_report { project } — used for over-budget rule.
5. For top in-progress / high-priority issues, call huly_list_issue_relations { identifier } to count how many issues each one blocks. (Only fan out for the top ~30 candidates to keep latency reasonable.)

Risk rules

Apply each rule against the dataset. Each rule produces zero or more risk records with {severity, rule, identifier|milestone, title, details}.

(Pace = issues per remaining day to hit 100% open-closed by target_date; actual pace = issues closed in the last 7 days / 7.)

Severity ordering

Within each severity tier, sort by:

1. Number of dependents (bottlenecks first).
2. Days overdue / days stuck (descending).
3. Priority (urgent → low).

Output format

Risks — [PROJECT] · [YYYY-MM-DD]

🔴 HIGH ([count])
  1. [PROJ-N] [title] · overdue [n]d · @[assignee]
  2. [Sprint name] at risk · [open]/[total] open · target in [n]d
  3. [PROJ-N] [title] · blocks [n] issues · stuck [n]d
  ...

🟡 MEDIUM ([count])
  [k]. [PROJ-N] [title] · urgent, unassigned
  [k]. [PROJ-N] [title] · in-progress [n]d, no update
  ...

🟢 WATCH ([count])
  [k]. [PROJ-N] [title] · est [n]h, logged [n]h ([×ratio])
  ...

Recommend:
  • [1 line, derived from the top HIGH item]
  • [1 line, derived from sprint risk if present]
  • [1 line, derived from largest bottleneck]

If there are zero risks in a tier, omit the tier header entirely. If zero risks total, say:

Risks — [PROJECT] · [YYYY-MM-DD]

No active risks detected.
Scope: [n] open · [n] in-progress · sprint on pace.

Computation notes

• Relations check (bottleneck): the is-blocked-by direction comes from looking at OTHER issues' relations pointing at this one. Practical approach: for each issue, the blocks count = number of issues whose relations array contains an entry with _class == 'tracker:relation:Blocks' AND relatedTo == thisIssue._id. Compute this in one pass over the full issue set rather than calling huly_list_issue_relations 500 times.
• Days overdue / stuck: integer days, floor of (now - timestamp) / 86_400_000.
• Sprint pace:

  open = issues in milestone with status not done/cancelled
  total = issues in milestone
  required_pace = open / max(1, days_until(target_date))
  actual_pace = issues_closed_in_last_7d_in_milestone / 7
  

Edge cases

• Project with no milestones — skip the "milestone at risk" and "sprint slipping" rules cleanly. Don't fabricate.
• Issues with dueDate == null — they can never trigger the overdue rule. That's correct.
• estimation == 0 or null — over-budget rule does not apply. Skip.
• Very large project (>500 issues) — note in the footer that the analysis covers the first 500 issues by modifiedOn; suggest using a tighter project scope or a milestone filter.

Don't

• Don't call any huly_create_*, huly_update_*, or huly_delete_* tool.
• Don't write to a teamspace, even if asked — direct the user to copy the output.
• Don't include risks for archived projects without explicit user confirmation.
• Don't speculate: if a rule fires on a flaky signal (e.g. modifiedOn just-now but assignee changed), mention the data source so the PM can verify.
