SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Flat task lists cannot express sequence and intent across a portfolio of work. This Skill maintains docs/tasks_manager/_roadmap.md so you can decide which tasks happen now, next, later, or someday, and attach dated milestones to groups of work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Horizon-based planning: Places task IDs into Urgent, Now, Next, Later, and Someday horizons based on deliberate human decisions rather than priority metadata alone. - Milestone scheduling: Adds optional target or deadline milestone headings with dates inside any horizon to group related tasks. - Refresh without re-planning: Drops completed or cancelled tasks and reconciles references without moving items between horizons unless requested. - Use Case: After triaging a backlog of AUTH and UI tasks, ask the agent to plan the roadmap so the next sprint's work is sequenced under Now with a beta milestone target date. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan the roadmap and sequence my open tasks into Now, Next, and Later with a launch deadline milestone.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a product roadmap from a task backlog?

Read the active task ledger and area overview, then decide each task's horizon (Urgent, Now, Next, Later, Someday) with the user. Write the roadmap file with task IDs ordered by intended pickup sequence, adding milestone headings only when scheduling intent is expressed.

What is the difference between a roadmap and a task list?

A task list is a flat record of open work with status and priority metadata. A roadmap adds sequence and intent: which tasks interrupt, which come next, and which are deliberately deferred, plus optional dated milestones grouping related items.

Should roadmap placement follow task priority automatically?

No. Placement is a deliberate human decision, never auto-derived from priority or status. A high-priority task can be deferred to Later, and a lower-priority task can sit in Now if it unblocks the current plan.

When should I use target versus deadline milestones?

Use target for soft internal planning dates and deadline for hard external commitments. Both appear as milestone headings inside an existing horizon, grouping the item bullets that follow until the next heading.

What happens to completed tasks on the roadmap?

During a refresh, tasks marked done or cancelled are dropped from the roadmap since they now live in the done ledger. Items are never moved between horizons unless the user explicitly asks.
