Claude Code Skill

pm3 ships a Claude Code skill that teaches Claude how to generate, edit, and troubleshoot pm3.toml configuration files for your project.

Install

Create the skill file in your project:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/pm3
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frectonz/pm3/main/.claude/skills/pm3/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/pm3/SKILL.md

Or install it globally so it's available in every project:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/pm3
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frectonz/pm3/main/.claude/skills/pm3/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/pm3/SKILL.md

Usage

Once installed, invoke the skill in Claude Code with:

/pm3

Claude will scan your project for existing configuration files (package.json, Cargo.toml, docker-compose.yml, etc.), infer what processes you need, and generate a valid pm3.toml.

Examples

Generate a config from scratch:

/pm3 set up pm3 for this project

Add a new process:

/pm3 add a redis worker process

Add health checks:

/pm3 add health checks to all my http services

Set up environments:

/pm3 add production and staging environments

What the Skill Knows

The skill has the full pm3 configuration schema baked in, including:

• All process options (command, cwd, env, restart, health_check, etc.)
• Environment-specific overrides ([process.env_production])
• Validation rules (required fields, naming constraints)
• CLI commands for reference

It will always produce valid TOML that conforms to the pm3 config format.
