At a glance

Build, restructure, or review a product roadmap, including Now/Next/Later, outcome-based, theme-based, scenario and rolling roadmaps, with confidence levels and time ranges instead of hard dates.

  • Works in 5 steps: Preflight (always, even when they say… → Pick the shape → Build it, problems before features → …
  • The user says build a roadmap
  • SKILL.md covers Is a roadmap the right thing?, Step 1 — Preflight (always,…, Step 2 — Pick the shape and Step 3 — Build it, problems…, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Roadmap is an agent skill from andreaskelm/pm-brain. Build, restructure, or review a product roadmap, including Now/Next/Later, outcome-based, theme-based, scenario and rolling roadmaps, with confidence levels and time ranges instead of hard dates. Use when the user says "build a roadmap", "now/next/later", "outcome roadmap", "plan the next quarters", "what goes on the roadmap", "stakeholders want dates", "sales needs a date", "leadership wants a Gantt", "the roadmap keeps changing", or "review my roadmap". Runs preflight questions and checks that prioritization is…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/criteria.md`, `references/stakeholder-scripts.md` and `references/template.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Product roadmapping, Project management and Prioritization frameworks. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered product management thinking & operating system. Playbooks, guides, templates, and frameworks that bridge PM theory to daily execution.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says build a roadmap
  • Outcome roadmap
  • Plan the next quarters
  • What goes on the roadmap

Example prompts

  • “build a roadmap”
  • “now/next/later”
  • “outcome roadmap”
  • “/roadmap”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Preflight (always, even when they say "just lay it out")
  2. Pick the shape
  3. Build it, problems before features
  4. Watch for red flags as it takes shape
  5. Before calling it done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38696ac. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,464 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,464 words (~2,517 tokens).

“A roadmap is a communication tool for direction, not a project plan and not a promise. The failure I see most often: a tidy grid of features with dates, built in a week, and by the following Tuesday someone in…”

When should I use Roadmap?

Roadmap fits situations like: the user says build a roadmap; outcome roadmap; plan the next quarters; what goes on the roadmap.

How do I install Roadmap in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add andreaskelm/pm-brain --skill roadmap -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/roadmap in andreaskelm/pm-brain) into .claude/skills/roadmap in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Roadmap in Codex?

Can I use Roadmap in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add andreaskelm/pm-brain --skill roadmap -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/roadmap, .gemini/skills/roadmap, .github/skills/roadmap and .opencode/skills/roadmap in your project.

What does Roadmap need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Roadmap is instructions for the agent only.

Does Roadmap access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Roadmap safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Roadmap use?

Roadmap has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Roadmap use?

About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
