system-roadmap is a skill for Claude Code from DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB. It costs 0 tokens per session (870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visualization tool that turns system notes into a lifecycle roadmap, grouping systems by whether to invest in, tolerate, migrate, or eliminate them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list documented systems or generate PNG and SVG roadmap files from their lifecycle information.
Why use it?
It gives teams a visual overview of which systems to keep developing, maintain, replace, or retire.

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 A, and why

system-roadmap scanned grade A with 0 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: /system-roadmap

Generate a visual system lifecycle roadmap from System notes in the vault.

Trigger

  • /system-roadmap - Generate default roadmap
  • /system-roadmap --list - List systems without generating
  • /system-roadmap --svg - Generate SVG format
  • /system-roadmap --theme GREENTURTLE - Use different colour theme

Description

This skill generates a PNG or SVG roadmap visualisation showing system lifecycles grouped by Gartner TIME category (Invest, Tolerate, Migrate, Eliminate). It reads System notes from the vault and uses their lifecycle frontmatter fields.

Prerequisites

The following Python packages must be installed:

pip3 install roadmapper python-frontmatter

Execution Steps

  1. Run the script with appropriate options:
# Default - generates PNG to +Attachments/
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py

# List systems found (dry run)
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py --list

# Generate SVG format
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py --format svg

# Custom output location
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py --output +Attachments/custom-roadmap.png

# Different theme (DEFAULT, GREYWOOF, ORANGEPEEL, GREENTURTLE, BLUEMOUNTAIN)
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py --theme GREENTURTLE

# Custom timeline
python3 scripts/system_roadmap.py --start-year 2020 --years 15
  1. Report the output location to the user

  2. Provide embed syntax for Obsidian:

    ![[system-lifecycle-roadmap.png]]
    

System Frontmatter Fields

The script reads these fields from System notes:

Field Purpose Example
type Must be "System" type: System
title System display name title: Core ERP
status Current status status: active
timeCategory TIME classification timeCategory: migrate
launchDate When system went live launchDate: 2005-01-01
sunsetDate Planned retirement sunsetDate: 2030-06-01
replacedBy Successor system replacedBy: "[[System - New ERP]]"
