nw-roadmap-review-checks

nw-roadmap-review-checks is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 25 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of checks for deciding whether a product roadmap is ready to implement. A roadmap is a plan for building features; these checks look for a real way to invoke the feature, testable outcomes, and requirements that describe results rather than internal code details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing a roadmap to check integration, acceptance tests, implementation coupling, step ordering, and other readiness concerns.
Why use it?
It catches plans that could produce code without a usable entry point, or that constrain implementation so tightly that the plan dictates internal design.

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

nw-roadmap-review-checks 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 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.

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.

Roadmap Review Checks

Six mandatory checks for every roadmap review. Each produces a finding block.

Check 1: External Validity

Verify completing all steps produces an INVOCABLE feature, not just existing code.

Criteria: at least one step targets entry point integration | acceptance tests invoke through driving ports | clear user invocation path after completion

Severity: BLOCKER if no integration step or invocation path. HIGH if tests at wrong boundary.

EXTERNAL VALIDITY CHECK: PASSED|FAILED

Issue: {missing wiring}
Consequence: {what happens without fix}
Required Action: {integration step to add}

Check 2: AC Implementation Coupling

Scan AC for implementation details locking crafter into predetermined structure.

Detection: underscore-prefixed identifiers | method signatures with params | internal class references | specific return types

Severity: HIGH. Flag each coupled AC with rewrite.

  • Coupled: _install_des_module() copies src/des/
  • Rewritten: DES module importable from installation target after install

Rationale: AC = WHAT (observable behavior), never HOW (internal structure). Crafter decides during GREEN + REFACTOR.

Check 3: Step Decomposition Ratio

Calculation: implementation steps / unique production files in files_to_modify

Thresholds: acceptable <= 2.0 | warning 2.0-2.5 | reject > 2.5

Identical pattern check: 3+ steps with identical AC differing by substitution -> require batching.

Check 4: Implementation Code in Roadmap

Verify no implementation code. BLOCKER.

Detection: code snippets/algorithms in descriptions | method implementations in AC | pseudocode/logic | variable names, loops, conditionals

Architect defines WHAT; crafter decides HOW. Roadmap code prevents better solutions via TDD.

Check 5: Roadmap Concision and Precision

Quantitative thresholds: total words 500 (1-3 steps) / 1500 (4-8) / 3000 (9-15) | step description max 50 words | AC max 5 per step, 30 words each | notes max 100 words

Verbosity detection: multi-sentence blocks -> bullets | qualifiers (comprehensive, robust) -> delete | motivational language -> delete | redundancy -> state once | tutorials -> delete, assume expertise

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.

nw-roadmap-review-checks is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (620 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 632 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-06.
