Aha-Loop: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/roadmap/SKILL.md

roadmap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YougLin-dev/Aha-Loop. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,760 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a project's vision and architecture into milestones and an ordered queue of product requirements. A PRD is a document describing one piece of work and its expected result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create roadmaps, divide work into milestones and PRDs, order tasks by dependency, and generate the project's roadmap files.
Why use it?
It gives a project a clear execution order and records which tasks depend on earlier work, instead of leaving planning as an unstructured list.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is YougLin-dev/Aha-Loop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Aha-Loop itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Aha-Loop configures →

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 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 2mo 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 — 458 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Roadmap Skill

Plan project execution by creating milestones and organizing PRDs into an executable queue.

Workspace Mode Note

When running in workspace mode, all paths are relative to .aha-loop/ directory:

  • Vision analysis: .aha-loop/project.vision-analysis.md
  • Architecture: .aha-loop/project.architecture.md
  • Roadmap: .aha-loop/project.roadmap.json
  • PRD files: .aha-loop/tasks/

The orchestrator will provide the actual paths in the prompt context.


The Job

  1. Read project.vision-analysis.md and project.architecture.md
  2. Decompose project into milestones
  3. Break each milestone into PRDs
  4. Order PRDs by dependencies
  5. Output project.roadmap.json
  6. Generate initial PRD files in tasks/

Milestone Strategy

Standard Milestone Structure

Milestone Focus Goal
M0: Foundation Project scaffolding, CI/CD, tooling Development environment ready
M1: MVP Core features only Minimal usable product
M2: Essential Important features Feature-complete for basic use
M3: Enhanced Nice-to-have features Polished product
M4: Optimization Performance, UX polish Production-ready

Milestone Sizing

Each milestone should:

  • Be completable in a reasonable timeframe
  • Have 3-7 PRDs (avoid too many or too few)
  • Deliver tangible, testable value
  • Build on previous milestones

PRD Decomposition

From Features to PRDs

For each milestone, break down features into PRDs:

Milestone: M1 - MVP
├── PRD-001: Project Scaffolding
├── PRD-002: Database Schema
├── PRD-003: Core Data Models
├── PRD-004: Basic API Endpoints
└── PRD-005: Minimal UI

PRD Sizing

Each PRD should:

  • Take 1-5 Aha Loop iterations (5-25 stories)
  • Focus on one coherent feature area
  • Be independently testable
  • Not depend on unfinished PRDs

PRD Ordering

Order PRDs by dependencies:

  1. Infrastructure first - Project setup, database, auth
  2. Backend before frontend - APIs before UI that uses them
  3. Core before optional - Must-have before nice-to-have
  4. Data before presentation - Models before views

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.
