A workflow for creating or updating a product brief and strategy roadmap. A product brief explains what a project is trying to achieve, while a roadmap organizes its future work.

Use it to create or update a project's roadmap after identifying its starting point, reading its project instructions, and filling in the needed product details.

It turns an idea, partial specification, or existing project into a clearer direction for development decisions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add skills/lwalden/aiagentminder/brief

Any agent

npx skills add lwalden/AIAgentMinder --skill brief

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lwalden/AIAgentMinder

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install aiagentminder, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 15 skills, 16 agents, 5 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00005	$0.02650
Opus 5	$0.00003	$0.01325
Sonnet 5	$0.00001	$0.00530
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00265

Security

Grade A, and why

brief 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/aiagentminder:brief - Product Brief & Roadmap Creation

Create or update docs/strategy-roadmap.md — the project's north star, the "why" behind every development decision.

Before Starting

Read CLAUDE.md to understand the project identity (name, type, stack). If Project Identity is still placeholder brackets, run /aiagentminder:setup first.

Note: Claude Code has a built-in /plan command that toggles Plan Mode (read-only exploration). This command (/aiagentminder:brief) is different — it produces a product brief and strategy roadmap.

Step 0: Assess Starting Point

Ask the user where they are:

A) Rough concept -- "I have a vague idea but need help figuring everything out" B) Clear idea, no details -- "I know what I want but haven't worked out specifics" C) Partial plan or spec -- "I have some docs/notes -- help me fill in gaps" D) Detailed plan or spec -- "I have a writeup -- translate it into a roadmap" E) Existing project -- "The project already has code -- I'm adding AIAgentMinder for governance"

Starting Point	Approach
A) Rough concept	Full interview (all rounds) plus exploratory questions
B) Clear idea	Full interview as written below
C) Partial plan	Read shared docs, ask only about gaps
D) Detailed plan	Generate roadmap directly, clarify ambiguities only
E) Existing project	Codebase audit + current-state interview; skip product brief, generate filled state files

Starting Point E: Existing Project

Skip the product planning interview. The goal is to capture current state, not design a product.

Step E1: Audit the Codebase

Read key files to understand what exists:

CLAUDE.md (if present) -- existing project identity or instructions
package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, or equivalent -- stack and dependencies
README.md -- project description
Directory structure -- infer architecture

Summarize what you found: language, framework, rough architecture, apparent project stage.

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.

brief is a skill published in the GitHub repository lwalden/AIAgentMinder (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session and 2,650 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
