What it does
Roadmap Generator is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-cto-team. Generate phased implementation roadmaps with Epic/Story/Task breakdown, effort estimates, and validation checkpoints. Use when cto-architect needs to create actionable technical roadmaps from architecture designs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `estimation-guide.md` and `generator.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: Your personal CTO Team for Claude Code . These Subagents will help you challenging yourself while you plan and execute. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Cto-architect needs to create actionable technical roadmaps from architecture designs
- Tasks that involve Task breakdown
Example prompts
- “/roadmap-generator”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Include buffer: Add 20-30% for unknowns
- Account for context switching: Multiply by 1.3 for teams juggling priorities
- New technology penalty: Add 50% for unfamiliar tech
- Integration tax: Add 20% for each external system integration
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a5bbb78. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Roadmap Generator loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- roadmap-generator
- description
- Generate phased implementation roadmaps with Epic/Story/Task breakdown, effort estimates, and validation checkpoints. Use when cto-architect needs to create actionable technical roadmaps from architecture designs.
Roadmap Generator
Creates structured implementation roadmaps that transform architecture designs into actionable plans with clear phases, milestones, and validation gates.
When to Use
- After architecture design is complete
- When translating strategic goals into execution plans
- Creating project timelines with realistic effort estimates
- Breaking down large initiatives into manageable phases
Roadmap Structure
Three-Phase Framework
Every roadmap follows MVP → Scale → Advanced phases:
Phase 1: MVP (Foundation)
├── Goal: Prove core value proposition
├── Duration: Typically 6-12 weeks
├── Success Criteria: Core functionality working
└── Exit Gate: User validation / metrics threshold
Phase 2: Scale (Growth)
├── Goal: Handle production load, improve reliability
├── Duration: Typically 8-16 weeks
├── Success Criteria: Performance SLAs met
└── Exit Gate: Load testing passed / uptime targets
Phase 3: Advanced (Optimization)
├── Goal: Competitive features, optimization
├── Duration: Ongoing
├── Success Criteria: Feature parity / differentiation
└── Exit Gate: Business metrics achievedEpic/Story/Task Hierarchy
Epic
High-level capability that delivers business value.
- Duration: 2-6 weeks
- Format: "Enable [user] to [capability]"
- Example: "Enable customers to receive real-time order notifications"
Story
User-facing functionality within an epic.
- Duration: 2-5 days
- Format: "As a [user], I want to [action] so that [benefit]"
- Example: "As a customer, I want push notifications so I know when my order ships"
Task
Technical work to complete a story.
- Duration: 2-8 hours
- Format: "[Verb] [object] [context]"
- Example: "Implement WebSocket connection handler for notification service"
Effort Estimation Framework
T-Shirt Sizing
| Size | Story Points | Typical Duration | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 1 | 2-4 hours | Trivial change, no unknowns |
| S | 2 | 0.5-1 day | Simple, well-understood |
| M | 3 | 1-2 days | Some complexity, minor unknowns |
| L | 5 | 3-5 days | Complex, some research needed |
| XL | 8 | 1-2 weeks | Very complex, significant unknowns |
| XXL | 13+ | > 2 weeks | Should be broken down |
Estimation Guidelines
- Include buffer: Add 20-30% for unknowns
- Account for context switching: Multiply by 1.3 for teams juggling priorities
- New technology penalty: Add 50% for unfamiliar tech
- Integration tax: Add 20% for each external system integration
Team Velocity Calculation
Effective Capacity = Team Size × Working Days × Focus Factor × Skill Factor
Focus Factor:
- Dedicated team: 0.8
- 50% allocated: 0.4
- Ad-hoc: 0.2
Skill Factor:
- Expert team: 1.0
- Experienced: 0.8
- Learning curve: 0.5Validation Checkpoints
Phase Gate Reviews
Each phase ends with a validation gate:
## Phase 1 Exit Gate
### Go Criteria
- [ ] Core features functional in staging
- [ ] Unit test coverage > 70%
- [ ] Integration tests passing
- [ ] Performance baseline established
- [ ] Security review completed
### No-Go Signals
- Critical bugs unresolved
- Core functionality missing
- Team capacity insufficient for Phase 2
- Business requirements changed significantly
### Decision
[ ] GO - Proceed to Phase 2
[ ] CONDITIONAL GO - Proceed with identified risks
[ ] NO-GO - Address blockers firstMid-Phase Checkpoints
- Week 2: Architecture validation
- Week 4: Integration milestone
- Week 6: Feature complete checkpoint
- Weekly: Sprint review and course correction

Dependency Types
| Type | Description | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Technical | Service A needs Service B | Start B early, use mocks |
| Team | Need DevOps for deployment | Reserve capacity early |
| External | Third-party API integration | Validate early, have fallback |
| Data | Need production data for testing | Create synthetic data |
Critical Path Identification
- List all dependencies
- Identify longest chain
- Mark critical path items
- Add buffer to critical path (25%)
- Parallelize non-critical work

## Appendix
### Assumptions
- [Assumption 1]
- [Assumption 2]
### Open Questions
- [Question 1]
- [Question 2]Anti-Patterns to Avoid
The Big Bang
Planning everything in detail upfront without iteration. Fix: Plan Phase 1 in detail, Phase 2 at epic level, Phase 3 at theme level.
The Feature Factory
Listing features without connecting to business outcomes. Fix: Every epic must connect to a measurable business goal.
The Happy Path
No buffer, no risk mitigation, assumes everything goes perfectly. Fix: Add 25-30% buffer, identify top 5 risks with mitigations.
The Kitchen Sink
Including every possible feature in MVP. Fix: Ruthlessly cut to core value proposition only.
