TPM Copilot

AI-powered operating system for Technical Program Managers and Project Managers. Pulls data from Jira, Linear, GitHub, and calendars to auto-generate status...

Your AI program management operator. Pulls from Jira, Linear, GitHub, and calendars — synthesizes everything into status reports, risk alerts, meeting prep, and stakeholder dashboards.

Setup

Dependencies

pip3 install requests

For GitHub: install gh CLI and authenticate (gh auth login).

API Connections (configure in config.json)

• Jira — JIRA_BASE_URL, JIRA_EMAIL, JIRA_API_TOKEN (Atlassian API token)
• Linear — LINEAR_API_KEY
• GitHub — uses gh CLI (already authenticated) or GITHUB_TOKEN
• Slack — SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL (for report delivery)
• Calendar — iCal URL or Google Calendar API

Not all required — skill adapts to what's configured.

Core Workflows

1. Status Report Generator

The flagship workflow. Pulls from all connected tools, generates audience-specific reports.

scripts/status-report.sh --program "my-program" --audience exec
scripts/status-report.sh --program "my-program" --audience eng
scripts/status-report.sh --program "my-program" --audience full
scripts/status-report.sh --program "my-program" --audience exec --deliver slack

Data pulled:

• Jira/Linear: sprint progress, tickets by status, velocity, blockers, recent completions
• GitHub: PRs merged/open/stale, CI status, release tags
• Calendar: upcoming milestones, meetings this week

Audience formats:

• exec — 3-5 bullet executive summary, RAG status per workstream, top risks, key decisions needed. Under 200 words.
• eng — sprint metrics, PR review queue, blockers, velocity trends, upcoming deadlines
• full — comprehensive program update with all sections, dependencies, action items

Delivery options:

• stdout (default) — prints to terminal
• slack — posts to configured webhook
• email — sends via Resend/SMTP
• confluence — creates/updates a Confluence page
• file — saves to programs/<name>/reports/

2. Risk & Blocker Radar

Proactive scanning for problems before they become crises.

scripts/risk-radar.sh --program "my-program"
scripts/risk-radar.sh --program "my-program" --alert     # Send alerts for new risks
scripts/risk-radar.sh --program "my-program" --history    # Show risk trends

Auto-detected risks:

• Stale tickets — no updates in N days (configurable, default 5)
• Blocked tickets — status = blocked, or flagged
• PR review bottlenecks — PRs open >48h without review
• Sprint scope creep — tickets added mid-sprint
• Missed commitments — tickets rolled over from previous sprint
• CI failures — broken builds on main branch
• Dependency delays — upstream team's deliverables slipping

Risk register maintained as JSON in programs/<name>/risks/:

{
  "id": "RISK-001",
  "severity": "high",
  "category": "delivery",
  "title": "Auth service migration blocked on Team B API",
  "detected_at": "2026-02-24",
  "source": "jira_blocked_ticket",
  "ticket": "PROJ-1234",
  "status": "open",
  "mitigation": "",
  "owner": ""
}

3. Meeting Autopilot

Automate meeting prep, notes processing, and follow-up tracking.

scripts/meeting-prep.sh --program "my-program" --type standup
scripts/meeting-prep.sh --program "my-program" --type sprint-review
scripts/meeting-prep.sh --program "my-program" --type exec-sync
scripts/meeting-prep.sh --program "my-program" --type program-review

scripts/process-notes.sh --file meeting-notes.md         # Extract action items
scripts/action-tracker.sh --program "my-program"          # Show overdue actions
scripts/action-tracker.sh --program "my-program" --create-tickets  # Create Jira tickets for actions

Meeting types and auto-generated agendas:

• standup — yesterday's completions, today's focus, blockers (from Jira)
• sprint-review — sprint metrics, completed work, demos, carry-over items
• exec-sync — program RAG, top risks, decisions needed, timeline status
• program-review — full workstream status, dependencies, resource needs

Notes processing:

• Parse markdown notes for action items (lines starting with AI:, TODO:, ACTION:, or [ ])
• Extract owners and due dates
• Optionally create Jira/Linear tickets
• Track completion status across meetings

4. Dependency Tracker

Map and monitor cross-team dependencies.

scripts/dependency-map.sh --program "my-program"           # Generate dependency map
scripts/dependency-map.sh --program "my-program" --check   # Check for slips
scripts/dependency-map.sh --program "my-program" --alert   # Alert on at-risk dependencies

Sources:

• Jira issue links (blocks/is-blocked-by)
• Jira/Linear labels (e.g., depends-on:team-b)
• Manual entries in programs/<name>/dependencies/deps.json

Output:

• Markdown dependency table with status
• Critical path highlighting
• Alert when upstream dependencies slip

5. Program Dashboard

Quick terminal dashboard for program health.

scripts/dashboard.sh --program "my-program"

Shows:

• Overall RAG status
• Sprint progress (% complete, days remaining)
• Open risks by severity
• PR review queue
• Upcoming milestones
• Action items overdue
