What it does

Outcome Roadmap is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Transform output-based feature lists into outcome-driven Now/Next/Later roadmaps using the "so what?" technique. Use when converting a feature-list roadmap to outcomes, communicating product strategy, or running quarterly planning.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/outcome_roadmap_template.md`, `examples/output-to-outcome-transformation.md` and `references/outcome-roadmap-guide.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Product roadmapping and Product strategy. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Converting a feature-list roadmap to outcomes
  • Communicating product strategy
  • Running quarterly planning

Example prompts

  • “so what?”
  • “/outcome-roadmap”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Outcome Roadmap loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.8k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Outcome Roadmap Expert

The agent transforms output-based roadmaps ("build feature X") into outcome-driven roadmaps ("enable customers to achieve Y") using the "so what?" technique and Now/Next/Later framing. It produces roadmaps that communicate strategy and measurable impact, not just feature lists and dates.

Core Capabilities

  • Output → outcome transformation — applies the formula "Enable [segment] to [outcome] so that [impact]" via a "so what?" chain that drills from feature to business metric.
  • Now/Next/Later classification — sorts initiatives into horizons whose detail and commitment level match certainty.
  • Metric definition — primary, secondary, and counter-metrics for Now/Next items.
  • Dependency capture — technical, organizational, and market prerequisites per item.
  • Stakeholder-ready output — text, JSON, and markdown reports grouped by horizon for alignment review.

When to Use

  • Converting a feature-list / date-driven roadmap into outcome-driven format.
  • Communicating product strategy to executives or customers.
  • Running quarterly planning and aligning teams around impact rather than deliverables.
  • Anchoring roadmap items to customer value and OKRs.

Clarify First

Before transforming the roadmap, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Customer segment + business impact per item — fills the "Enable [segment] to [outcome] so that [impact]" statement; without it the tool only emits placeholder templates
  • Target quarter per initiative — drives Now/Next/Later horizon placement and the detail/commitment level
  • Initiative type — feature / improvement / infrastructure drives the strategic-question and metric suggestions
  • Success metric per Now/Next item — the primary/secondary/counter-metrics; Later items intentionally stay metric-light to avoid false precision

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

bash
python scripts/roadmap_transformer.py --input roadmap.json            # transform a roadmap
python scripts/roadmap_transformer.py --input roadmap.json --format markdown
python scripts/roadmap_transformer.py --demo                          # run on built-in demo data

Each input initiative needs title, description, quarter (format "Q[1-4] YYYY"), and type (feature/improvement/infrastructure). The tool emits outcome-statement templates — fill the placeholders with real customer and business data.

References

  • references/outcome-roadmap-guide.md — read this for the deeper guide: output-vs-outcome comparison, outcome formulas, and stakeholder communication strategies.
  • references/red-flags.md — read this to spot the common ways outcome roadmaps go wrong (false precision, mechanical templates, too many Now items) before sharing.

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: transforming output-based feature lists into outcome-driven items, Now/Next/Later classification by quarter-to-current-date distance, "so what?" chain generation, strategic-question and metric suggestions by initiative type, markdown/text/JSON report output grouped by horizon.

Out of Scope: feature prioritization or scoring (execution/prioritization-frameworks/), sprint-level planning or capacity allocation (scrum-master/), product strategy or vision definition (roadmaps communicate strategy, they don't create it), cross-team dependency management (program-manager/).

Important Caveats: outcome roadmaps require a cultural shift — teams used to date-driven lists need coaching on commitment levels; the tool generates outcome-statement templates, not finished outcomes; Later items intentionally lack detailed metrics, and adding false precision undermines credibility.
