Project Forward v1.0.0

[1.0.0] — 2026-04-28

Initial public release.

Added

• Core SKILL.md with the Project Forward method (start at the end, three-problem model, cadence beats heroics, write the message before you need it)
• Conversational pacing discipline — ask one question at a time
• "Challenge before solving" rigor discipline with six things to test before solving (framing, omissions, assumptions, success criteria, ignored trade-offs, user's own contribution)
• "When to skip the challenge" exception, including default to producing the artifact when the user signals time pressure
• "When to decline" subsection — firm-but-helpful refusal pattern for requests involving deception, regulatory evasion, manipulation, or knowingly false documentation
• "User reviews before sending" instruction — every artifact is a draft, the user is the approver
• Version self-identification capability — skill knows its own version when asked
• templates-guide.md reference for routing logic and format decisions
• marketing-program-mgmt.md reference for marketing PM repositioning
• 13 templates: project charter, stakeholder map, RAID log, decision log, pre-mortem, kickoff agenda, weekly status, scope-change memo, escalation memo, vendor RFP scorecard, first-30-days checklist, marketing campaign brief, resource/capacity plan
• Honesty-check sections in charter, weekly status, and first-30-days templates
• Plaintext bundle (project-forward.txt) for mobile reading
• README with "What this is and isn't" scope disclaimer for high-stakes domains
