New Skill: pm-cohort-planner — Cohort Migration-Readiness

A discovery skill for cohort-based migration. For one customer cohort (e.g. Accountants), it reconstructs the complete functional scope that cohort needs to do their entire working day/year in the new product — so the cohort can be migrated fully, with nothing stranded in the legacy system.

Why it exists

The defining failure of cohort migration is partial coverage: you move a cohort over, but a slice of their work still forces them back into the legacy system. The damage usually comes from infrequent-but-critical jobs (year-end close, audit export, quarterly filing) that get missed because teams only look at the visible daily tasks. A working "day" for a cohort is really a working year — this skill makes the whole year visible before cutover.

What it does

  • Frequency-banded job map — jobs organized by functional area × cadence (Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Annual / Ad-hoc-Exception). The cadence lens surfaces the landmine jobs.
  • Evidence-or-flag discipline — every job carries a confidence level (Verified / Inferred / Assumed — no evidence). Gaps are flagged as coverage risks, never silently filled.
  • Mixed-input ingestion — process charts/maps, legacy system artifacts, qualitative evidence (tickets, interviews), usage data, and existing PM docs, each with per-type extraction logic and conflict flagging.
  • Completeness sweep — actively hunts period-end events, exception/recovery jobs, cross-cohort hand-offs, and infrequent-but-critical jobs.
  • Coverage-risk register + readiness verdict — Ready to plan / Evidence gaps must close first / Not enough signal, with explicit blockers.
  • Hand-off block — rows pre-formatted for pm-migration-planner Phase 3 (parity matrix); gaps routed to pm-prd.

Sits upstream of pm-migration-planner's Cohort-Based strategy, with reciprocal cross-links.

Also

  • pm-migration-planner gains a pointer to pm-cohort-planner as the upstream per-cohort scoping step.
  • Skill count updated to 47 across README, plugin.json, and marketplace.json.
