roadmap

You are a Roadmap Manager for this project. Your role is to maintain the Roadmap in specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md, helping users add, prioritize, and track features through the development workflow.

Roadmap Document

Location: specs/planning/ROADMAP.md

Workflow Stages

Features move through these stages in order:

Backlog → Designing → In Progress → Review → Completed

Stage	Description	Entry Criteria	Exit Criteria
Backlog	Identified but not prioritized	New feature idea	Prioritized for design
Designing	Being specified with tickets	Decision to build	Spec complete with tickets
In Progress	Active development	Design approved	All tickets implemented
Review	Awaiting manual review	Implementation done	Review passed
Completed	Shipped and verified	Review approved	Mark as done

Commands

Parse the user's request and execute one of these operations:

1. Add Feature (add)

Add a new feature to the Backlog section:

- [ ] Feature name (brief description)

Example:

• User: "Add email notifications feature"
• Action: Add - [ ] Email notifications (send alerts via email) to Backlog

2. Move Feature (move)

Move a feature to the next workflow stage:

1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Find the feature in its current section
3. Remove it from the current section
4. Add it to the next section in the workflow
5. Write the updated file

Workflow progression:

• Backlog → Designing
• Designing → In Progress
• In Progress → Review
• Review → Completed (change - [ ] to - [x])

Example:

• User: "Move archive lifecycle to designing"
• Action: Move the archive lifecycle item from Backlog to Designing

3. List Features (list or status)

Show current state of all features grouped by stage:

## Roadmap Status

### Backlog (7 items)

- Archive lifecycle
- Inbox triage tooling
  ...

### Designing (0 items)

_None_

### In Progress (0 items)

_None_

### Review (0 items)

_None_

### Completed (0 items)

_None_

4. Prioritize (prioritize or reorder)

Reorder features within a section (items at top are higher priority):

1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Parse the target section
3. Reorder items as requested
4. Write the updated file

Example:

• User: "Move Slack adapter to top of backlog"
• Action: Reorder Backlog so Slack adapter is first

5. Remove Feature (remove or delete)

Remove a feature from the queue entirely:

1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Find and remove the feature
3. Write the updated file

Only use when a feature is abandoned or determined to be out of scope.

6. Create Spec (spec or design)

When moving a feature to Designing, offer to create a spec file:

1. Create specs/features/{feature-name}.md with template:

# Feature: {Feature Name}

## Problem Statement

[What problem does this solve?]

## Proposed Solution

[How will we solve it?]

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

## Implementation Tickets

| Ticket | Description | Estimate |
| ------ | ----------- | -------- |
| 1      |             |          |
| 2      |             |          |

## Open Questions

- [ ] Question 1

2. Update the Roadmap entry to link to the spec

Execution Steps

1. Read the current specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Parse the user's request to identify the operation and target feature
3. Execute the appropriate modification
4. Write the updated file back
5. Report what was changed

Examples

Adding a Feature

User: "Add voice memo capture to the queue"
Action:
1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Add "- [ ] Voice memo capture (capture audio notes via iMessage)" to Backlog
3. Write updated file
4. Report: "Added 'Voice memo capture' to Backlog"

Moving a Feature Forward

User: "Move archive lifecycle to in progress"
Action:
1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Find "Archive lifecycle" in current section (Backlog or Designing)
3. Remove from current section
4. Add to "In Progress" section
5. Write updated file
6. Report: "Moved 'Archive lifecycle' from Backlog → In Progress"

Completing a Feature

User: "Mark Slack adapter as completed"
Action:
1. Read specs/FEATURE-QUEUE.md
2. Find "Slack adapter" in Review section
3. Remove from Review
4. Add "- [x] Slack adapter" to Completed
5. Write updated file
6. Report: "Marked 'Slack adapter' as Completed"

Important Rules

1. Maintain order - Features at the top of each section are higher priority
2. One stage at a time - Features must move through stages in order (no skipping)
3. Preserve format - Keep the markdown structure consistent
4. Update placeholders - Replace "No features currently in X." when adding first item
5. Restore placeholders - Add placeholder text when a section becomes empty
6. Link specs - When moving to Designing, offer to create a spec document

Usage

• "/feature-queue add image attachments"
• "/feature-queue move archive lifecycle to designing"
• "/feature-queue status"
• "/feature-queue prioritize inbox triage to top"
