They run `utility-update-pm-skills` to check for updates and find that v2.10.0 is available with new skills for mermaid diagramming, slideshow creation, and the self-updater.

## What's New

### Headline

This update adds mermaid diagramming, slideshow creation, and a self-updater skill, expanding pm-skills from a text-based planning toolkit into a visual communication platform. You can now go from PRD to presentation deck without leaving Claude. [fictional]

### New Skills

| Skill | What It Enables |
|-------|-----------------|
| utility-mermaid-diagrams | Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and other mermaid visuals for PRDs, specs, and decks with `utility-mermaid-diagrams`. Includes a planning worksheet to prevent wasted diagram effort. |
| utility-slideshow-creator | Generate JSON deck specifications for stakeholder presentations with `utility-slideshow-creator`. Supports 17 slide types with dark/light variants and speaker notes. |
| utility-update-pm-skills | Check for updates and update your local pm-skills installation with `utility-update-pm-skills`. Supports `--status` for quick checks and `--report-only` for previews. |

### Updated Skills

No skills were updated in this release.

### New Workflows

No new workflows in this update.

### Other Changes

- New CI scripts: `validate-version-consistency` (hard-fail), `validate-gitignore-pm-skills` (advisory), `validate-script-docs` (advisory)
- `_pm-skills/` local state directory convention (gitignored)
- User-facing guide at `docs/guides/updating-pm-skills.md`

### Opportunities

With `utility-mermaid-diagrams` you can add flowcharts and sequence diagrams directly into your PRDs -- try it on the Campaigns send approval workflow. The `utility-slideshow-creator` skill pairs well with any existing deliverable: generate a PRD with `deliver-prd`, then create a stakeholder deck from the same context with `utility-slideshow-creator`. Use `utility-update-pm-skills --status` anytime to check whether you are current.
