shipkit-spec-roadmap

shipkit-spec-roadmap is a skill for Claude Code from stefan-stepzero/shipkit. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A roadmap skill that decides which feature specifications to write first. It scores features using product goals, dependencies, foundational value, and implementation complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after product and engineering definitions are available. It creates a machine-readable roadmap for planning the order of specification work.
Why use it?
It turns a backlog of possible specifications into an ordered sequence, so foundational or high-priority work is handled first.

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

shipkit-spec-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 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.

shipkit-spec-roadmap — Spec Prioritization Roadmap

Purpose: Bridge the gap between definitions and specs by building an explicit prioritization roadmap. Scores features by goal-gate phasing, dependency depth, foundation value, and mechanism complexity to determine spec order.

Output format: JSON — structured roadmap at .shipkit/spec-roadmap.json


When to Invoke

User triggers:

  • "What should I spec first?"
  • "Prioritize the features"
  • "Create a spec roadmap"
  • "Spec backlog"
  • "What order should I write specs?"

Before:

  • /shipkit-spec (this determines WHICH spec to write next)

After:

  • /shipkit-product-definition (need features to prioritize)
  • /shipkit-engineering-definition (need mechanisms for effort estimation)
  • /shipkit-product-goals (recommended — gates drive phasing)

Workflow position:

  • After definitions are complete, before writing individual specs
  • Can be re-run after new features are added or priorities change

Prerequisites

Required:

  • .shipkit/product-definition.json — features to prioritize
  • .shipkit/engineering-definition.json — mechanisms for effort estimation

Recommended:

  • .shipkit/goals/*.json — gate definitions for phase mapping (especially goals/strategic.json or goals/product.json)

Optional:

  • .shipkit/specs/ — detect already-specced features to mark as completed

If goals missing: Fall back to single-phase roadmap sorted by dependency + foundation value only.


Arguments

If $ARGUMENTS contains --update: Load existing spec-roadmap.json, refresh spec statuses, re-score, and present changes.

If $ARGUMENTS contains --regenerate: Discard existing roadmap and rebuild from scratch.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty: Check for existing file and offer choices.


Process

Step 0: Check Existing Roadmap

Fork context — no user prompts. You are dispatched in a fork and have no user channel. Skip the file-exists menu entirely.

  1. Read .shipkit/spec-roadmap.json (if exists)
  2. If $ARGUMENTS contains --update: proceed to Step 1 with existing data as baseline
  3. If $ARGUMENTS contains --regenerate or no file exists: proceed to Step 1 fresh
  4. If file exists and no argument: read .shipkit/reviews/planning-assessment.json if present. If the latest review lists a gap against this artifact, archive the existing file to .shipkit/.archive/spec-roadmap.YYYY-MM-DD.json and regenerate addressing the gap. Otherwise, read the existing file and exit early with a "no changes needed" report — the reviewer already accepted it.

Changes

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.
