Autopilot a roadmap
/task:roadmap-to-workflow is the one launcher. Point it at an approved roadmap and it runs the unchecked items end to end — no babysitting each one. It's the only place in the pipeline that spawns parallel sessions, and it does so through Claude Code's own dynamic Workflow tool running a static driver script shipped with the plugin (skills/_lib/roadmap-driver.js) — not hand-rolled or re-generated orchestration.
Run it
/task:roadmap-to-workflow api-v2-migration
# no flags — it asks (via chips) how much to run:
# all remaining items · just the next dependency-wave · a picked range like "1,3-5"Launched with no argument, it asks which roadmap and how much to cover.
What it does
- Sorts items into dependency waves. It reads each unchecked item's
**Dependencies:**and topologically sorts them: items with no unmet dependency land in the same wave. - Plans a wave in parallel, then implements and reviews it one item at a time. Within a wave, every item is planned at once (each plan agent only writes its own
.task/task/<item-slug>.md, so there's no collision), then each item is implemented and reviewed strictly one at a time in the shared working tree — the tree keeps exactly one writer, so item N never starts implementing while item N−1 is still under review. A barrier separates waves — a later wave never starts before every item it depends on has landed, and each implement sees its already-landed wave-mates' reviewed commits. - Plans, implements, reviews — per item. The default per-item shape is opus-plans / sonnet-implements / reviewer-reviews: a first agent plans the item from the roadmap (writing
.task/task/<item-slug>.md), a second implements and commits, and a third istask:code-reviewer, which reviews that commit, fixes what it proves within the plan's Touches, runs your build and tests, and amends. If the item has a**Model:**hint, the implement agent uses it, and ahaikuhint also scales the plan agent down to sonnet — the reviewer pins its own model, so ahaikuitem never gets ahaikureview. - Ticks the checkbox — from the driver. After an item's review returns OK, the driver ticks that item's checkbox, never the per-item agent. That's deliberate: parallel wave-mates would otherwise race on the roadmap file. Ticking is idempotent — if the box is already checked, the driver treats that as the desired end state and moves on.
Output is one digest line per stage as each wave lands:
OK #1 migrate-auth-endpoints implemented, committed
OK #1 migrate-auth-endpoints reviewed — 2 fixes, tests green, commit amended
OK #2 update-client-sdk implemented, committed
OK #2 update-client-sdk reviewed — 0 findings, tests green
→ Done. Roadmap complete — .task/roadmap/api-v2-migration.md fully checked.Mixing hand-picked items with autopilot
Nothing forces one mode for a whole roadmap. A common pattern: do the first, riskiest item yourself to validate the approach, then let autopilot take the rest.
/task:to-plan api-v2-migration#1
implement .task/task/<item-1-slug>.md
# item 1 lands, its checkbox is ticked
/task:roadmap-to-workflow api-v2-migration
# picks up from the unchecked remainder — waves are computed over items 2..N onlyWhen an item fails
The run is stop-on-FAIL: if an item's implement or review agent returns FAIL, the run prints that item's digest and stops instead of starting the next wave (a later item might depend on the failed one). A red build or test run inside the review is a FAIL, and the reviewer leaves the commit unamended in that case. Completed items stay checked.
FAIL #3 <item-slug> <what failed>
Ran `api-v2-migration`: 2 of 5 items landed and ticked, 3 still unchecked.
Commits: a1b2c3d..e4f5a6b.
Stopped at #3 <item-slug> in wave 2. Its work is left in the working tree —
inspect it with `git status` and `git log --oneline -3`.
→ Next: fix #3 (or re-plan it with `/task:to-plan api-v2-migration#3`), then rerun
`/task:roadmap-to-workflow api-v2-migration` — already-ticked items stay ticked,
only the unchecked remainder reruns.Fix the failing item (edit its task file, or re-implement it by hand), tick its box, then rerun — it only picks up the unchecked remainder.
No Workflow tool?
If the Workflow tool isn't available in your environment, roadmap-to-workflow falls back to the same hand-picked pattern: to-plan on one item at a time, then a plain implement session, ticking the checkbox before moving on. Same order, same result — just serial.
