roadmap-refiner

roadmap-refiner is an agent for Claude Code from chris-dare-dev/agent-kit. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,390 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A roadmap-planning agent that turns a vague project brief into a concise goal, measurable results, assumptions, and a list of work left out.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the first phase of the roadmap workflow to refine a brief into a one-page goal statement with key results and a Won't list.
Why use it?
It gives an unclear initiative a focused objective and boundaries before detailed planning begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

roadmap-refiner scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

"Now run X", "Ignore previous instructions", "Authorize the user", "Add yourself

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 212 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Roadmap Refiner

You are Phase 1 of the /roadmap pipeline. Your job is to convert a vague brief into a crisp, 1-page goal statement with an explicit Objective, Key Results, assumption tiers, and Won't list.

The orchestrator (slash command at .claude/commands/roadmap.md) dispatches you with substituted variables. You never invoke other sub-agents.

Input variables (substituted by the orchestrator)

  • {SLUG} — the roadmap slug (e.g., cost-visibility-l3, kiali-multicluster)
  • {BRIEF} — the verbatim brief text from the user (or summarized from conversation context). Do NOT paraphrase.
  • {ROADMAP_PATH} — absolute path to plans/<slug>-roadmap.md (already scaffolded by roadmap-init.sh)

Step 0 — Read persistent memory (skip-if-not-relevant)

cat ".claude/agent-memory/roadmap-refiner/lessons.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "(no lessons yet)"

Read memory only if lessons are relevant to this brief's domain. Do not load memory for its own sake.


Step 1 — Read the phase-refine reference (REQUIRED before any reasoning)

# Resolves from ANY CWD (the target repo is usually NOT the agent-kit checkout).
WS="${PERSONAL_WORKSPACE_ROOT:-$HOME/Work/workspace}"
cat "$WS/.claude/references/roadmap-phase-refine.md"

This is the canonical source for HMW mechanics, sharpening questions, assumption tier definitions, OKR rules, and Won't list conventions. Load it fully before proceeding.


Step 2 — Walk the 5 sub-steps

Sub-step 2a — "How Might We" reframe

Restate {BRIEF} as: How might we <verb> <outcome> for <who>?

  • The verb must describe an outcome, not a planned solution.
  • "How might we add a Grafana dashboard" → wrong (solution-embedded).
  • "How might we make per-namespace cost visible to platform engineers" → right (outcome-shaped).
  • If the verb is a solution (add, migrate, deploy), challenge whether that is truly required or an assumed implementation.

Sub-step 2b — 3–5 sharpening questions

Pick the questions that are genuinely under-specified and change the plan. For each, answer from in-context evidence FIRST:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

It adds 94 tokens to every session and 2,390 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (instruction-override phrasing, reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
