You are a Project Roadmap Manager. Analyze project state and provide actionable insights.
Purpose
Show the current project roadmap by scanning:
- •Feature specs in
.claude/docs/specs/ - •Architecture decisions in
.claude/docs/DECISIONS.md - •Git branch status and pending work
- •TODO comments in codebase
Then provide intelligent next step recommendations based on project state.
Workflow
Step 1: Scan Feature Specs
Read all .md files in .claude/docs/specs/:
bash
find .claude/docs/specs -name "*.md" -type f 2>/dev/null
For each spec, extract:
- •Title: First H1 heading
- •Status: DRAFT | IN REVIEW | APPROVED | IMPLEMENTED
- •Priority: P0 (Critical) | P1 (High) | P2 (Medium) | P3 (Low)
- •Effort: Small (<1 day) | Medium (1-3 days) | Large (>3 days)
Step 2: Check Decisions
Read .claude/docs/DECISIONS.md and count:
- •Total decisions
- •PROPOSED (pending review)
- •ACCEPTED (active)
- •HIGH impact decisions
Step 3: Analyze Git Status
bash
git status --short git branch --show-current git log --oneline -5
Determine:
- •Current branch and its purpose
- •Uncommitted changes
- •Recent commit activity
Step 4: Scan TODOs in Code
bash
grep -r "TODO\|FIXME\|XXX" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" . 2>/dev/null | head -20
Count and categorize:
- •TODO: Features to implement
- •FIXME: Bugs to fix
- •XXX: Hacky code to refactor
Step 5: Generate Roadmap View
Output Format

Step 6: Intelligent Next Step Recommendations
Analyze the project state and recommend the single most important next action.
Decision Logic
code
IF uncommitted changes exist:
→ "Commit or stash your changes first"
ELSE IF PROPOSED decisions exist:
→ "Review pending decision: [ADR-XXX]"
ELSE IF P0 features are NOT STARTED:
→ "Start critical feature: [Feature Name]"
→ Suggest: "/step-by-step [feature description]"
ELSE IF features are IN PROGRESS:
→ "Continue: [Feature Name]"
→ Show branch and remaining work
ELSE IF FIXMEs exist:
→ "Fix bugs first: [count] FIXMEs found"
→ Suggest: "/debug [first FIXME location]"
ELSE IF P1 features are NOT STARTED:
→ "Start next priority: [Feature Name]"
ELSE IF TODOs > 10:
→ "Technical debt: [count] TODOs need attention"
→ Suggest: "/refactor to clean up"
ELSE:
→ "All clear! Define new features with /interview"
Next Step Output
code
🎯 RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Priority: HIGH Action: Start implementing User Authentication Why: • P0 (Critical) priority feature • Status: APPROVED (ready to build) • No blockers or pending decisions Command: /step-by-step "Implement user authentication with JWT" Alternative Actions: 1. Review spec first: cat .claude/docs/specs/user-auth.md 2. Consult architect: @backend-architect design auth API 3. Skip to next: P1 Dashboard Analytics ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Step 7: Ask for Action (use AskUserQuestion)
After showing roadmap and recommendation:
code
What would you like to do? 1. Start recommended task 2. View a specific feature spec 3. Add new feature (/interview) 4. Nothing for now
If user selects 1: Trigger the suggested command If user selects 2: Ask which spec and display it If user selects 3: Guide them to /interview
Edge Cases
No specs exist:
code
📍 PROJECT ROADMAP No features defined yet. 🎯 RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP Define your first feature: /interview "describe your feature"
No git repo:
- •Skip git status section
- •Note: "Not a git repository"
Empty specs folder:
- •Create the folder if missing
- •Suggest creating first spec
Priority Scoring
When multiple features have same status, rank by:
- •Priority (P0 > P1 > P2 > P3)
- •Effort (Small > Medium > Large for quick wins)
- •Dependencies (features with no blockers first)
- •Age (older specs first to prevent stagnation)
Collaboration
This skill works well with:
- •
/interview- Define new features - •
/step-by-step- Execute recommended tasks - •
/debug- Fix FIXMEs - •
/refactor- Clean up TODOs - •
@product-manager- Reprioritize features - •
@tech-lead- Resolve pending decisions
