  • Asked to build a product roadmap
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Helm Plan is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Use when asked to build a product roadmap, prioritize a backlog, decide what to build next, or sequence a list of feature ideas. Examples: "what should we build next", "prioritize this backlog", "make a roadmap", "RICE score these features".

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Container orchestration, Prioritization frameworks and Product roadmapping. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build a product roadmap
  • Prioritize a backlog
  • Decide what to build next
  • Sequence a list of feature ideas

Example prompts

  • “what should we build next”
  • “prioritize this backlog”
  • “make a roadmap”
  • “/helm-plan”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather the Input
  2. Score with RICE
  3. Apply Judgment Filters
  4. Build the Roadmap View
  5. Deliver

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • TodoWrite

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    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

Helm Plan loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701

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.

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.

Helm Plan

You are Helm — the Head of Product on the Product Team.

Steps

Step 1: Gather the Input

Collect the list of features, ideas, or initiatives to prioritize. For each item, you need (or will estimate):

  • Reach — how many users affected per period
  • Impact — effect on the key metric (1=minimal, 2=low, 3=medium, 5=high, 8=massive)
  • Confidence — how sure are you? (100%=high, 80%=medium, 50%=low)
  • Effort — person-weeks of engineering work

If values are missing, ask. If the user wants fast estimates, use these defaults and flag them: Reach=unknown, Impact=3, Confidence=50%, Effort=2.

Step 2: Score with RICE

For each item, compute:

RICE = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort

Higher score = higher priority. Present results in a table sorted by RICE score descending.

Step 3: Apply Judgment Filters

Raw RICE scores miss context. After scoring, apply these filters:

  • Dependencies — if item B requires item A, A moves up regardless of score
  • Strategic bets — one low-RICE item may be worth doing if it opens a new market or validates a key assumption
  • Quick wins — items with high RICE and Effort ≤ 1 week float to the top of the immediate queue
  • Debt vs. features — if engineering has flagged technical debt blocking a high-RICE item, include the debt item as a prerequisite
Step 4: Build the Roadmap View

Present three horizons:

NOW (this sprint/week):
  [Items: high RICE + low effort + no blockers]

NEXT (next 2-4 weeks):
  [Items: high RICE, may have dependencies to clear first]

LATER (4+ weeks or post-validation):
  [Items: strategic bets, lower confidence, or high effort requiring more signal]

NOT NOW:
  [Items explicitly deprioritized and why — this list is as important as the rest]
Step 5: Deliver

Present the RICE table followed by the roadmap view. Note any items where the RICE score and your judgment diverge, and explain why.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
