/ev-roadmap

Track features, bugs, and improvements on a visual kanban board. Break your PRD into actionable items, prioritize them with research insights, and watch the board update automatically as you work.

When to use this

  • You have a PRD and want to break it into trackable work items
  • You need to prioritize what to build first
  • You want a visual overview of project progress
  • You want to add, move, or remove items from the backlog

How to use it

In Claude Code, type:

/ev-roadmap

Claude will check for an existing roadmap and PRD. If your roadmap is empty, it offers to generate items from your PRD or let you add them manually.

You can also use it directly:

/ev-roadmap add user authentication
/ev-roadmap move r1 to done

Modes

  • Add — create a new item with title, description, priority (P1-P4), and type (feature, bug, improvement, research)
  • Move— change an item's status between backlog, in-progress, and done
  • Prioritize— change an item's priority level
  • Remove — delete an item from the roadmap
  • Create from PRD — extract features from your PRD as roadmap items, with priorities informed by research

What it creates

A JSON file at docs/roadmap.json and an interactive kanban board at /ev/roadmap with three columns:

  • Backlog — items waiting to be worked on
  • In Progress — items currently being built
  • Done — completed items with completion dates

Each item shows its priority badge and type. Items linked to a PRD are clickable.

Interactive board

The board at /ev/roadmap is fully interactive — no need to use the CLI for every change:

  • Drag and drop — drag cards between columns or reorder within a column
  • Inline editing — click a card title to edit it, change descriptions
  • Priority picker — click the priority badge to change it
  • Add items — use the + button in any column header or the add form at the bottom
  • Filter — filter by priority (P1–P4) or type (feature, bug, improvement, research)
  • Delete — remove items from edit mode

All changes persist to docs/roadmap.json immediately. The CLI skill and the browser board share the same data.

Auto-updates

The roadmap stays current as you work. Other skills automatically update it:

  • /ev-wireframe moves matching items to in-progress when you prototype them
  • /ev-design moves matching items to in-progress when you design them
  • /ev-ship marks shipped items as done with a completion date

What to do next

Run /ev-wireframe to start prototyping the top items on your board.
