ab-create-roadmap
SkillProductivityThis skill turns a larger idea into a roadmap of tasks arranged in dependency order. Once added, your AI can lay out every step of a multi-part piece of work before implementation starts, so nothing gets built before the thing it relies on. It creates the roadmap only; use ab-start-roadmap to carry the tasks out.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Add the skill, then describe the larger idea along with the pieces of work you have in mind. Once the roadmap looks right, use ab-start-roadmap to begin working through it.
Then ask your AI: use the ab-create-roadmap skill
What your AI can do with it
- Break a large idea into its separate tasks
- Order the tasks so each step waits for what it depends on
- Draw the whole task graph before implementation begins
- Recognize when work needs a roadmap rather than a single task
- Prepare the finished roadmap to be carried out with ab-start-roadmap
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ayoubben18/ab-method in .agents/skills/ab-create-roadmap/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
This skill runs the AB Method create-roadmap workflow.
Follow the workflow defined in .ab-method/core/create-roadmap.md exactly — it contains the decomposition grill, the roadmap.md format, the dependency-graph rules, and the per-task planning-prompt process.
Before doing anything, check .ab-method/structure/index.yaml. It defines where roadmaps and tasks are stored and how they reference each other (the relationships section). Paths are user-configurable; never hardcode them.
Key points: grill the idea once to draw the task DAG (coarse tasks, no missions); write docs/roadmaps/<name>/roadmap.md as the roadmap-level source of truth; hand back a /create-task prompt per task in dependency order (foundational first), recommending a fresh session each and warning about context bloat if planning inline. Do not execute — ab-start-roadmap does that. ab-create-task is roadmap-aware and keeps roadmap.md in sync automatically.
