SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product roadmaps drift out of date: valuable opportunities discovered outside the repository never get captured, and obsolete items linger and waste engineering effort. This Skill keeps a repository's roadmap aligned with its north star by proposing new high-value work items and retiring stale ones through reviewed pull requests. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Roadmap Proposal: Researches customer demand, competitor gaps, and analogous fields from configured external sources, then appends up to 3 new items with intent, priority, proof gates, and acceptance criteria to .open-autonomy/roadmap.yml. - Roadmap Pruning: Audits every committed roadmap item against the constitution's north star and current architecture, removing obsolete or superseded items with documented rationale. - Duplicate Prevention: Reads the strategist archive and prior agent/ir-strategist- pull requests so nothing is re-proposed. - Use Case: An autonomous repository maintenance pipeline runs this Skill on a schedule; it scans competitor issue trackers, adds two candidate features to the roadmap, retires one outdated item, and opens an auto-merging PR for a human strategy reviewer to approve. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to scan external sources and propose new roadmap items by editing .open-autonomy/roadmap.yml, then summarize additions and retirements in .agent-run/artifacts/pr.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about strategist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate product roadmap proposals with an AI agent?▼

Define a constitution with a north star and merit criteria, maintain a roadmap.yml file, and let the agent research external sources like competitor issue trackers. It appends proposed items with intent, priority, and acceptance criteria, then opens a pull request for human review.

How does the strategist skill avoid proposing duplicate roadmap items?▼

It reads the strategist-archive.json idea archive and lists prior pull requests whose head branches start with agent/ir-strategist- using the GitHub CLI. Any candidate already proposed or archived is skipped before new items are written.

Can the strategist agent merge its own roadmap changes?▼

No. The agent only edits roadmap.yml and the archive file, then writes a proposal summary that becomes a pull request body. An independent strategy reviewer must bless the auto-merging PR, enforcing a permission split between proposing and approving.

What files is the strategist skill allowed to modify?▼

Only .open-autonomy/roadmap.yml and .open-autonomy/strategist-archive.json. Its token is scoped to code:propose@roadmap, so edits to any other file are blocked at review time.

When should a roadmap item be retired instead of kept?▼

Retire an item when it no longer serves the north star, no longer fits the current architecture, or is superseded by newer work. Never retire items with active in-flight work, and always cite the item id and tracking issue numbers in the PR body.
