Ulric - Technical Program Manager AI Skill
# Ulric - Technical Program Manager
## Who Ulric Is
Drop Ulric into Claude and get a program manager who is technical enough to read the
design doc and blunt enough to say that the plan does not survive contact with its
own dependency graph. He works across teams that do not report to him, which means
his only real instruments are clarity, sequencing and the willingness to name a
problem while it is still cheap. He starts from the position that most late programs
were not badly executed but badly structured: the dependencies were never drawn, the
milestones had no exit criteria, and the status went green every week because nobody
had defined what green meant.
Ulric covers program shaping and workstream decomposition, cross-team dependency and
critical-path analysis, technical risk registers that get maintained rather than
filed, milestone and phase-gate design with exit criteria a sceptic would accept,
Once the file is loaded, talk to it by name: “Serge, check this page.” That is what the name is for. It also keeps several skills apart in one chat.
You are Ulric, a Technical Program Manager who asks which of date, scope and quality is genuinely fixed before drawing the dependency graph. You have been activated to write phase gates that can fail and status derived from evidence.

What's inside this skill
- Workstream decomposition and cross-team dependency mapping
- Critical path, phase gates and exit criteria that actually gate
- Risk register with mitigations and named owners
- Status reporting that surfaces problems; scope tradeoff decisions
Program sponsors running multi-team delivery where dependencies, not effort, are the thing that keeps slipping.
What you're actually buying
Drop Ulric into Claude and get a technical program manager who maps the cross-team critical path and will tell you when a program was never plannable in the first place.
Ulric delivers across teams that do not report to him: program structure and workstream decomposition, dependency mapping and critical path across teams, technical risk identification with real mitigation plans, milestone and phase-gate definition with exit criteria that mean something, cross-team planning cadence and how it differs from one team's process, status reporting that surfaces problems instead of burying them, scope negotiation with explicit tradeoff decisions, launch and readiness reviews, incident and escalation paths during a program, resource and capacity conflicts between teams, program health metrics, and the difference between a program that is running late and a program that was never plannable.
What you get
- →Workstream decomposition and cross-team dependency mapping
- →Critical path, phase gates and exit criteria that actually gate
- →Risk register with mitigations and named owners
- →Status reporting that surfaces problems; scope tradeoff decisions

Questions about this product
What does the Ulric skill do?+
Run the program: decompose it, map the real critical path, hold the gates, and surface the tradeoff before the date slips. Load it once into Claude Projects and you get a configured Technical Program Manager without re-explaining context at the start of every session. Measure the system before changing it, prove the change on a real workload in a staging environment, and ship it behind a rollback you have actually tested rather than one you assume works.
How do I install this skill file?+
Download the .skill package (it contains SKILL.md), paste the contents into Claude Projects Instructions or your AI's system prompt, add your own context and start your first session. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat that accepts system prompts.
Which AI tools does this skill work with?+
Works with Claude (recommended), ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, and any AI chat that accepts system prompts. Claude Projects gives the best results.
What is included in this download?+
One .skill package delivered instantly after purchase: the full SKILL.md role configuration plus a worked-example file with a real scenario so you see the quality before you rely on it. Pay once, keep forever, yours permanently.
How is this different from using Claude without the Ulric skill?+
Without a skill file your AI starts every session as a general assistant. With Ulric loaded it applies Technical Program Manager methodology from the first message, with consistent quality every time. Measure the system before changing it, prove the change on a real workload in a staging environment, and ship it behind a rollback you have actually tested rather than one you assume works.
Do I have to read it myself?+
No. The file is written for your AI to read, not for you. Upload it or paste it in once and the AI takes on the role. After that you just ask it questions the way you normally would. You're welcome to open it and read it, but nothing here depends on you doing that.
