SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams transform scattered documentation into a clear, phased development roadmap. It reads existing product artifacts, synthesizes insights, and outputs a structured plan that maps what to build and when, including MVP scope and subsequent phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated roadmap generation: Converts PRD.md, Marketresearch.md, and other sources into a phased plan with MVP and growth phases.
  • Phased planning outputs: Produces a comprehensive ProductPhases.md with phase goals, timelines, dependencies, and risk considerations.
  • Use Case: A startup with a 3-month runway can generate a complete plan outlining MVP features, Phase 2 enhancements, and Phase 3 growth initiatives.

Quick Start

Save the source documents in the repository, then run the workflow to generate the roadmap. The output will be saved to .agents/product/ProductPhases.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a phased product roadmap from existing product docs?

To generate a phased product roadmap, place your existing PRD.md and Marketresearch.md in the repository. The workflow analyzes these documents to synthesize insights and outputs a structured plan mapping features, dependencies, and timelines to .agents/product/ProductPhases.md.

What is the best way to define MVP scope and subsequent growth phases?

Defining MVP scope and growth phases is best handled by synthesizing existing product documentation into a structured timeline. This workflow reads your product artifacts to map MVP features, Phase 2 enhancements, and Phase 3 growth initiatives with clear goals and success criteria.

Can I use my PRD and market research files to plan development timelines?

Yes, you can use PRD.md and Marketresearch.md files to plan development timelines. The workflow reads these saved source documents, analyzes dependencies, and produces a formal ProductPhases.md file outlining phase goals, timelines, and risk considerations.

Does this automated roadmap generation work for teams planning an MVP with a short runway?

Automated roadmap generation suits teams planning an MVP with a short runway, such as a three-month timeline. It converts scattered product artifacts into a comprehensive phased plan outlining MVP features and subsequent growth initiatives.

What format does the output roadmap use, and where is it saved?

The output roadmap uses a markdown format and is saved directly to .agents/product/ProductPhases.md. This formal document includes clear phase goals, dependencies, timelines, and success criteria for your product launch.

When do I need a structured phased plan instead of a basic feature list?

You need a structured phased plan instead of a basic feature list when mapping dependencies and timelines across MVP and growth phases. This approach transforms scattered documentation into a formal roadmap with clear goals and risk considerations for product launches.
