`pm-governance` plugin for decision governance within the `pm-skills` ecosystem.
Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Mar 11, 2026
## Summary
Proposing a new `pm-governance` plugin that adds a **decision governance layer** on top of the existing pm-skills ecosystem.

| `adr-creator` | Generates Architecture Decision Records with cost analysis at 4 scale tiers (MVP / 10K / 1M / 100M users) | User mentions database, infrastructure, scaling, "X or Y" |
| `instruction-auditor` | Detects anti-patterns in CLAUDE.md and skills (>200 lines, linting rules in CLAUDE.md, vague descriptions) and suggests specific fixes | User asks to review setup or output quality is declining |
### 3 Commands
| Command | Description | What it chains |
