+description: Start the project from documentation the user already has (a PRD, notes, an exported wiki, a proposal, a long README) - read it, draft the brief, decisions, roadmap and backlog from it with sources, ask about contradictions and gaps, and review the drafts with pk-grill. Use when the user says they already have documents, or points at a folder of them.
+---
+
+# pk-import — start from what already exists
+
+Many projects do not start from nothing: there is a PRD, a client proposal, meeting notes, a
+wiki export. Making the user repeat all of it in an interview wastes it. This skill reads what
+exists and produces **drafts**, with the source of every claim, then asks about whatever does
+not add up. The user still reviews and approves each phase.
+
+Read `.project-kit/templates/interview.md` first and follow it.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `docs/sources/INDEX.md`: the index that `pjkit import <path>` wrote, which lists each source
+  file, its format and whether it could be read. If it does not exist and the user gave a path,
+  run `pjkit import <path>` (it copies the files to `docs/sources/`; the originals are not
+  touched). If the user attached documents to the conversation instead, save nothing yourself:
+  ask them to put the files in a folder and run `pjkit import <folder>`.
+- Whatever already exists in `docs/project/` and `docs/adr/`. **Never overwrite it**: propose a
+  merge and ask.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Read the index and the sources.** Say which ones you could not read (a scanned PDF, a
+   format you cannot open) and what the user can do (export to text or Markdown). Read long
+   sources in parts. Say what did not fit.
+2. **Look for sensitive data first.** If a source seems to contain personal data, credentials or
+   keys, stop and tell the user before copying anything further or quoting it in a draft.
+3. **Draft, in this order,** only what the sources support. After each draft say its path:
+   - `docs/project/brief.md` from `.project-kit/templates/brief.md`: problem, users, scope,
+     non-goals, constraints, risks.
+   - `docs/adr/NNNN-*.md` for the technical decisions the sources already take, from
+     `.project-kit/templates/adr.md`, with `Status: Proposed` (the user accepts them).
+   - If the sources cover them: a draft of `docs/development-workflow.md` and of the project's
+     rules in `docs/project/` (standards, testing, security, documentation).
+   - A draft roadmap in `docs/project/roadmap.md` and `.project-kit/backlog.json`, with
+     acceptance criteria per issue. Validate it with `pjkit backlog validate`.
+4. **Sources and gaps.** Every claim that comes from a source ends with its provenance, for
+   example `(source: docs/sources/prd.md, section 3)`. What the sources do not say is written as
+   `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: ...]`. **Invent nothing**: no users, figures, dates, stacks or
+   requirements that are not in the sources.
+5. **Contradictions.** List every place where two sources disagree, or a figure or date does not
+   add up, or a requirement has no owner. Ask them one at a time, each with your recommended
+   answer and the sources on both sides, and record the answer in the document it affects.
+6. **Review.** Run `pk-grill` on the drafts and resolve what it finds, exactly as it works for a
+   project written by interview.
+7. **Approval.** For each phase whose documents now exist, follow the usual gate with the user:
+   a selection list, and only an explicit "Approve it" allows `pjkit approve <phase>`. A phase
+   whose documents still have open `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]` markers is not approved without the
+   user saying so. Then run `pjkit next` and offer what comes after.
+
+## Rules
+
+- The originals in `docs/sources/` are never edited. Drafts go in the project's own documents.
+- Never approve a phase for the user; never overwrite an existing document.
+- Be explicit about confidence: "stated in the PRD" is not the same as "inferred from the PRD".
+- Keep the language of `config.yml` for the drafts, even if the sources use another.
+- If the sources cover only part of the project (say, the product but not the stack), draft that
+  part and continue with the normal skill for the rest (`pk-decide`, ...).

+   that are still open, whether skills were recommended yet.
+2. Say in one sentence where the project is and what you are about to do.
+3. **Decide by situation**, in this order:
+   - **The user brought documents** (a folder, attachments, "I already have a PRD") and the
+     project has no brief yet: follow `pk-import`.
+   - **There is a phase to do** (`phase` is not null): follow that phase's skill (`pk-discover`,
+     `pk-decide`, `pk-workflow`, `pk-foundations`, `pk-plan`, `pk-provision`, `pk-handoff`).
+     If the hints say its documents already exist, do not start the interview again: review
+     what is there and complete what is missing.
+   - **Before any approval**, offer `pk-grill` (a hard review that cross-checks the documents)
+     with a selection list: **Review it with pk-grill** / **Approve without it** /
+     **I want changes**. Approval is always the user's call.
+   - **The stack was just decided** and `skills.yml` does not exist: offer `pk-skills`.
+   - **Every phase is done** (`phase` is null): ask what the user wants. A change to the plan, a
+     decision or the process is `pk-amend`; building an issue is Spec Kit's job
+     (`/speckit-specify`); an issue that seems finished is checked with `pk-verify` (in Claude
+     Code, the `pk-reviewer` subagent), by someone other than whoever wrote it.
+   - **The user changes direction mid-way** ("actually the plan changed", "I decided to use X
+     instead"): `pk-amend` if the plan was approved, otherwise edit the current phase's document.
+4. When the skill you ran finishes, run `pjkit next` again and offer to continue or stop. Never
+   chain more than one phase without asking.
+
+## Rules

+- Never run `pjkit approve` yourself, and never treat "continue" as approval of a phase.

+- Do not skip a phase that `pjkit next` returns; if the user wants fewer phases, that is
+  `pjkit mode quick` (they decide), not something to do silently.
+- Say the skill you are using by name, once, so the user learns what exists without having to.
+- Use the language of `.project-kit/config.yml` with the user.
+- If `pjkit` is missing or `.project-kit/` does not exist, tell the user to run `pjkit init` in a
+  terminal; do not create the files by hand.

+description: Verify, independently of whoever implemented it, that a feature meets its acceptance criteria - read the issue, run the project's tests and give a verdict per criterion with evidence. Use when a feature or issue is said to be finished, before merging, or when the user asks "is this really done?". Never edits code.
+---
+
+# pk-verify — is it really done?
+
+The agent that implements a feature should not be the only one to decide it is finished. This
+skill is the second opinion: it checks the work against **what was asked**, not against what the
+implementer says it did. It reads, runs the project's checks and reports. It changes nothing.
+
+Run it in a separate context from the implementation: in Claude Code, hand it to the
+`pk-reviewer` subagent (`.claude/agents/pk-reviewer.md`); in another agent, in a fresh session.
+
+## Inputs
+
+1. **Which issue.** The issue number (`#34`) or backlog id (`login`). If the user does not say,
+   find it from the current branch name (`NNN-name`) or from the open spec in `specs/`.
+2. **The criteria.** The "Acceptance criteria" list of the issue: `gh issue view <n>` (or
+   `glab issue view <n>`) when there is a provider, otherwise the entry in
+   `.project-kit/backlog.json`. Number them `<id>#1`, `<id>#2`... in the order they appear; that
+   is how `pjkit trace` names them. If the issue has none, stop and say that nothing can be
+   verified until it has some.
+3. **The spec and plan**, if Spec Kit produced them: `specs/<NNN-name>/spec.md` and `plan.md`.
+4. **How to check.** `docs/project/testing.md` (the commands and where tests live) and
+   `docs/project/standards.md` (lint, format, types). If they do not exist, look for the project's
+   own test command (`package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `Makefile`) and say you guessed it.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Read the inputs. Do not read the implementer's summary or commit messages as evidence.
+2. Run the checks that the project defines, in this order, and keep their output: tests, then
+   lint and type checks. A failing or missing run is a finding.
+3. For **each criterion**, look for evidence in the code and the tests:
+   - a test that exercises it (name it, say whether it passed, and whether it really asserts
+     the criterion or only touches the code);
+   - the code that implements it (file and line);
+   - for what cannot be checked by reading or running tests (a look, a flow in the browser), say
+     "not verified" and what would verify it.
+4. Look for what was **not** asked but changed: files outside the issue's scope, removed tests,
+   skipped or weakened assertions, new dependencies, secrets. Report them.
+5. Give the verdict.
+
+## Report format
+
+```
+Verdict: PASS | FAIL | INCOMPLETE
+Issue: <id / #n> <title>
+
+Checks
+- tests: <command> -> <result>
+- lint/types: <command> -> <result>
+
+Criteria
+- <id>#1 <text>: PASS - <evidence>
+- <id>#2 <text>: FAIL - <what is missing or wrong, with file/line>
+- <id>#3 <text>: NOT VERIFIED - <why, and what would verify it>
+
+Outside the scope of the issue
+- <anything else that changed, or "nothing found">
+```
+
+`PASS` only if every criterion passes with evidence and the checks are green. Any `FAIL` makes it
+`FAIL`. A criterion that is not verified makes it at best `INCOMPLETE`.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Do not edit, create or delete files; do not commit, push or change branches; do not install
+  anything; do not write to the provider (no comments, labels, closing issues, moving cards).
+  Report, and let the user or the implementer act.
+- Do not fix a failing test to make the verdict pass. Do not lower a criterion.
+- Never claim a pass you did not see. If a command could not run, say so.
+- Do not run `pjkit approve` or merge anything.
+- Be specific and brief. The reader wants to know what to fix, not a review of the style.

+
+You are the independent reviewer of a project set up with project-kit. Someone else
+implemented the work you are asked about; your job is to decide, with evidence, whether it

+
+Start by reading `.claude/skills/pk-verify/SKILL.md` and follow it exactly.
+
+Ground rules:
+
+- You work in a clean context: do not rely on the implementer's summary. Read the issue, the
+  spec and the code yourself.
+- You may read files and run the project's own test, lint and type-check commands (the ones in
+  `docs/project/testing.md` and `docs/project/standards.md`). You may read issues with the
+  provider's CLI (`gh issue view`, `glab issue view`).
+- You must not edit, create or delete project files, change branches, commit, push, install
+  packages, or run anything that writes to the provider. If a command would do any of that, do
+  not run it and say so.
+- Every verdict cites evidence: a test name and its result, a file and line, a command and its
+  output. A criterion you could not check is reported as "not verified", never as "passes".
+- Report in the format the skill asks for. If everything passes, say so plainly; if not, list
+  what fails first.
