roadmap-planning

roadmap-planning is a skill for Claude Code from rampstackco/claude-skills-pm. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,462 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of roadmap-planning, MIT.

A plan for deciding what a team should build, improve, maintain, or postpone over several quarters. It organizes a backlog, meaning the team's list of possible work, around goals, capacity, dependencies, and priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quarterly or yearly planning, sequencing dependent work, balancing new features with maintenance, aligning a team, and replanning after changed priorities or constraints.
Why use it?
It turns many competing requests into one explainable plan. It also helps teams make and explain decisions about what not to do yet.

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

roadmap-planning 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 8d 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 Planning

Take a pile of ideas, requests, and ongoing work. Produce a defensible plan for what to ship, when, and why. The output is a roadmap document plus the prioritization work that made it credible.


When to use

  • Planning the next quarter or the next year
  • Sequencing work where some items depend on others
  • Balancing new builds, improvements, and maintenance
  • Saying no (or "not yet") to specific requests with a defensible reason
  • Aligning a team around a single shared plan
  • Communicating the plan to stakeholders outside the team
  • Replanning after a strategy shift, a missed quarter, or new constraints

When NOT to use

  • Specifying a single feature for development (use pm-spec-writing)
  • Validating whether the idea is worth building (use ux-research)
  • Designing the feature itself (use design-standards)
  • Writing the launch plan for a single initiative (use launch-runbook)
  • Reviewing what shipped vs what was promised (use after-action-report)

Required inputs

  • The team's strategy or top-level goals (1 to 5 OKRs, themes, or pillars)
  • The backlog: every candidate item, with at least a one-sentence description
  • The team's capacity (people × time)
  • Known constraints (deadlines, dependencies, hiring, budget)
  • The planning horizon (a quarter, two quarters, a year)

If the strategy is missing, the roadmap will be a list of features, not a plan. Push back and get the strategy first. A roadmap without strategy is just a queue.


The framework: 5 layers

Roadmaps fail at five different layers. A roadmap is only as good as its weakest one.

Layer 1: Themes (the WHY)

Top-level groupings tied to strategy. Every theme answers: "If we do nothing else this period, this is the outcome we want."

Good themes are:

  • Outcome-shaped, not feature-shaped ("Reduce time-to-first-value" beats "Build onboarding")
  • Limited (3 to 5 max)
  • Defensible (you can explain why this and not something else)
  • Measurable (each maps to one or two metrics)

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.
