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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00870 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00435 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00174 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00087 |
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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
- 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

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.

system-roadmap is a skill published in the GitHub repository DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB (52 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 870 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
