# managed

LLMS index: [llms.txt](/processkit/v1.x/llms.txt)

---

**Intended for:** small teams with a shared backlog and process cadences.
**Extends:** `minimal`

The recommended default. Adds roles, decisions, scopes, and all lightweight
process artifacts (standups, retros, session handovers) on top of minimal.

## What managed adds on top of minimal

**Process primitives and cross-cutting process skills:**
`role-management`, `decision-record`, `scope-management`,
`category-management`, `cross-reference-management`, `binding-management`,
`process-management`, `state-machine-management`, `gate-management`,
`schedule-management`, `constraint-management`, `discussion-management`,
`metrics-management`.

`process-management`, `schedule-management`, and `state-machine-management`
are included for legacy v1 migration guidance. They are not first-class
v2 primitive authoring surfaces.

`metrics-management` remains a managed-package skill, but Metric is no
longer a primitive. Metric specifications are tracked as artifacts and
observations as LogEntries or external time-series data.

**Lightweight process artifacts:**
`backlog-context`, `decisions-adr`, `standup-context`, `session-handover`,
`context-archiving`, `retrospective`, `estimation-planning`, `code-review`,
`documentation`, `refactoring`, `tdd-workflow`, `incident-response`,
`postmortem-writing`, `release-semver`, `integration-testing`,
`dependency-management`.

## When to upgrade

- You need production-grade infrastructure, observability, and security skills → `software`
- You need data/ML skills → `research`
- You need design + frontend + everything → `product`
