SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Roadmap planning and brainstorming often bottlenecks as teams struggle to extract the next unplanned phase, draft a design, and track artifacts across docs and status tables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided phase extraction from an existing roadmap, dependency mapping, and status updates.
  • Automated generation of design docs, implementation plans, and decision logs that align with CLAUDE.md guidance.
  • Live alignment checks and progress tracking to ensure phases move from Planned to In Progress to Done.

Quick Start

Scan your roadmap and ask me to identify the next unplanned phase to begin brainstorming.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify and brainstorm the next unplanned phase from an existing roadmap?

To brainstorm the next unplanned roadmap phase, scan existing phase headings, dependencies, and statuses to extract context, then generate design docs, implementation plans, and decision logs in docs/plans.

How do I generate design docs and implementation plans that align with my roadmap phases?

Generate design docs and implementation plans by scanning roadmap phase headings and dependencies, then produce required files in docs/plans while updating roadmap statuses and references for traceability.

What's the best way to track roadmap phase transitions from Planned to In Progress to Done?

Track roadmap phase transitions by performing live alignment checks and progress tracking during brainstorming, ensuring statuses update accurately from Planned to In Progress to Done with linked artifacts.

Can I use this roadmap planning approach to map dependencies across multiple phases?

Yes, roadmap planning includes dependency mapping by scanning existing phase headings and statuses as context, ensuring newly generated design docs and implementation plans account for cross-phase dependencies.

Does roadmap brainstorming require existing documentation or CLAUDE.md guidance to function?

Roadmap brainstorming requires an existing roadmap to scan for unplanned phases and aligns automated generation of design docs, implementation plans, and decision logs with CLAUDE.md guidance.

Why does roadmap planning bottleneck when extracting phases and tracking artifacts?

Roadmap planning bottlenecks when teams struggle to manually extract the next unplanned phase, draft designs, and track artifacts across docs and status tables without guided phase extraction and automated documentation.
