What problem does it solve? It gives developers a single source of truth for the strata rebuild's build order, so every implementation session picks exactly one well-defined increment with explicit, verifiable acceptance criteria instead of guessing what to work on next. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ordered Milestones M0–M14: Each milestone (scaffolding, parser, serializer, bindings, JSONPath, folder mode, hardening, adapters) lists concrete deliverables and a "Done when" definition of done. - Live Status Tracking: In-progress milestones carry dated status entries recording benchmark standings, CI samples, and the current frontier of work. - Kill Criteria and Gates: Milestones like M12 include explicit kill criteria and performance gates so regressions trigger a defined fallback rather than silent drift. - Use Case: At the start of a coding session on the strata C++/Python JSON library, load this roadmap to select the current increment, verify its acceptance criteria against make test, and log ambiguities to docs/decisions.md. ## Quick Start Load the roadmap skill and tell the assistant to pick the current milestone from the strata rebuild roadmap and verify its acceptance criteria before starting work.
