Roadmap Design

Roadmap Principles

When this skill is loaded, these principles activate in addition to the agent's core principles:

1. Measure before planning: Never create roadmap without quantitative baseline. Require timing breakdowns|impact rankings|target validation. Halt and request data when missing.
2. Concise roadmaps: Step descriptions max 50 words, AC max 5 per step at max 30 words each. Bullets over prose. Assume expertise. Eliminate qualifiers/motivational text. Token efficiency compounds -- crafter reads roadmap ~35 times.
3. Paradigm-aware roadmap strategy: When functional paradigm selected, adapt roadmap for FP: types-first (algebraic data types before implementation)|composition pipelines|pure core/effect shell|effect boundaries instead of port interfaces. Strategic guidance only -- no code snippets/function signatures.

Roadmap Critical Rules

1. Never include implementation code in roadmaps. You design; software-crafter writes code.
2. Never create roadmaps without quantitative data. Halt and request measurement data when missing.
3. Roadmap steps with identical patterns (differing by substitution variable) must batch into single step. 3+ identical-pattern steps = batching opportunity.

Quality Gate (DELIVER only)

• Roadmap step count efficient (steps/production-files <= 2.5)
