Roadmap

A real opencode plugin that generates comprehensive product roadmaps for any project — using a 4-phase pipeline (Discovery → Competitor → Features → Critic) with Aperant-quality output.

When loaded, the plugin auto-installs the /roadmap slash command and 4 specialized subagents into your opencode configuration.

What you get

A single command /roadmap that produces:

.auto-build/roadmap/
├── roadmap_discovery.json     ← project understanding (audience, vision, gaps)
├── competitor_analysis.json   ← 5 competitors with real pain points & sources
└── roadmap.json               ← 15-20 prioritized features, 4 phases

Each feature includes:

• MoSCoW priority (must / should / could / won't)
• Complexity & impact scores
• 6+ specific, testable acceptance criteria (HTTP codes, timeouts, algorithms)
• 3+ user stories ("As a X, I want Y so that Z")
• Rationale linked to specific competitor pain points / discovery insights

Why it's a real plugin

Earlier versions shipped as just markdown files. This version is a proper opencode plugin:

• Appears in opencode's Plugins tab (alongside oh-my-openagent, etc.)
• Loaded automatically when opencode starts
• Installs and updates agent/command files automatically
• Versioned, distributable via npm or GitHub

Install

Option 1: From GitHub (recommended for now)

Add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": [
    "github:islamahmedas12-ux/opencode-roadmap-plugin"
  ]
}

opencode runs bun install automatically — the plugin will be fetched and loaded next time you start opencode.

Option 2: From npm (when published)

{
  "plugin": [
    "opencode-roadmap-plugin"
  ]
}

Option 3: Manual install (legacy)

If you prefer not to use the plugin system, you can manually copy the agents and command:

git clone https://github.com/islamahmedas12-ux/opencode-roadmap-plugin.git
cd opencode-roadmap-plugin
./install.sh

This copies files to ~/.config/opencode/agents/ and ~/.config/opencode/commands/ directly.

Recommended config

To get the best results, also configure the context7 MCP server (for up-to-date library docs the agents can query):

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["github:islamahmedas12-ux/opencode-roadmap-plugin"],
  "mcp": {
    "context7": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Usage

In opencode (TUI or web), inside any project directory:

/roadmap

Or skip the competitor analysis phase (faster, no internet research):

/roadmap --no-competitor

The pipeline takes 12-18 minutes depending on model and project size. Output appears in .auto-build/roadmap/ in the current project.

How it works

User runs /roadmap
        │
        ▼
Primary agent reads the slash command file, then invokes:
        │
        ├──► Task(roadmap-discovery) ──► roadmap_discovery.json
        │
        ├──► Task(competitor-analysis) ──► competitor_analysis.json
        │       (uses WebSearch + context7 for real research)
        │
        ├──► Task(roadmap-features) ──► roadmap.json
        │       (15-20 features, MoSCoW, 6+ AC each)
        │
        └──► Task(roadmap-critic) ──► refines roadmap.json
                (strengthens weak features, adds missing ones)

Each subagent runs in isolation with its own context window, model, and tool permissions.

Model recommendations

The plugin doesn't hardcode a model — agents inherit from your primary opencode agent. For best results:

• Claude Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.7 — highest quality, ~$2-3/run, 16 min
• MiniMax-M2.7 — ~85% quality at 10% cost ($0.30/run, 12 min)
• GPT-5 / GPT-5-mini — good middle ground

To use a specific model for the roadmap subagents, edit them post-install:

# After plugin loads agents to ~/.config/opencode/agents/
sed -i '/^description:/a model: minimax/MiniMax-M2.7' ~/.config/opencode/agents/roadmap-*.md

Performance benchmarks

Project	Phases	Features	Avg AC/feat	Time	Cost
AuthMe (NestJS IAM)	4	15-20	7-8	~12 min	~$0.30
Real Estate CRM (NestJS+React+Flutter)	4	16-20	7-9	~13 min	~$0.35
Commander.js (Node CLI lib)	4	15	6-7	~8 min	~$0.20

For comparison: Aperant + Claude Sonnet 4.6 produces ~10 AC/feat at ~$2-3/run in ~15-16 min.

Plugin internals

The plugin entry (src/index.ts) does two things at load time:

1. Syncs markdown assets — copies agents/*.md and commands/*.md from the package to ~/.config/opencode/agents/ and ~/.config/opencode/commands/ so they're picked up by opencode's normal discovery mechanism.

2. Registers a shell.env hook — sets OPENCODE_ROADMAP_PLUGIN_VERSION env var so the plugin shows up in opencode's plugin list and version is observable.

The actual roadmap generation logic lives in the markdown subagents (see agents/) — the plugin is just the loader.

Development

git clone https://github.com/islamahmedas12-ux/opencode-roadmap-plugin.git
cd opencode-roadmap-plugin
npm install
npm run build

The build produces dist/index.js from src/index.ts. Both dist/ and the markdown source files are committed so the GitHub installation path works without a separate build step.

Troubleshooting

Plugin doesn't appear in opencode's Plugins tab: ensure opencode.json has "plugin": ["github:islamahmedas12-ux/opencode-roadmap-plugin"] and restart opencode. The first launch will run bun install (may take 30s).

/roadmap command not found: check ~/.config/opencode/commands/roadmap.md exists. The plugin should create this on load — if missing, check opencode's startup logs for plugin errors.

MCP context7 errors: free tier has rate limits. Get a free API key at https://context7.com/dashboard.

Output too generic: ensure your model is at least Sonnet/Opus level. Small models struggle with the depth requirements. You can also re-run just the critic via @roadmap-critic for another refinement pass.

Credits

The agent prompts are derived from Aperant (formerly Auto-Claude) by @AndyMik90, licensed AGPL-3.0. This plugin extends them for opencode and adds explicit depth directives, a critic refinement phase, and stricter schema validation.
