name: roadmap-narrative
description: "Transform a prioritised initiative list into a compelling strategic roadmap narrative. Use when asked to write a roadmap narrative, explain the product roadmap to non-technical stakeholders, connect roadmap items to company goals, or produce an exec-shareable roadmap story. Produces a themed narrative with strategic context, quarter progression arc, an executive summary, and a 'what's not on the roadmap' section."

# Roadmap Narrative Skill
Convert a ranked list of product initiatives into a clear, strategic narrative that connects individual items to company goals and communicates a coherent product direction.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Prioritised initiative list** (with rough timelines or quarters)
- **Company OKRs or strategic priorities** (to connect roadmap to company goals)
- **Audience** (all-hands, board, investors, sales team — changes tone and depth)
- **Items explicitly NOT on the roadmap** (optional but strengthens credibility)
## Process
1. Review the prioritised initiative list and company OKRs provided
2. Identify 2-3 strategic themes that group the initiatives naturally
3. For each theme, articulate: the problem it addresses, the customer it serves, the metric it moves
4. Write a quarter-level narrative that shows progression — how does H1 set up H2?
5. Draft an executive summary (3-4 sentences max) that non-technical stakeholders can repeat
6. **Validate** — Confirm every initiative maps to a theme. If an initiative is orphaned, either create a theme or flag it as a narrative gap to address
## Output Structure
### Product Roadmap: [Quarter/Half/Year]
**Strategic Context:** [1 paragraph: market moment, key challenge, our response]
#### Theme 1: [Theme Name]
- Strategic rationale
- Initiatives included
- Primary metric impacted
- Dependencies
[Repeat for each theme]
**What's Not on the Roadmap (and Why):**
[2-3 items with rationale — shows strategic discipline, not just prioritisation]
**Executive Summary (shareable):**
[3-4 sentences that could be shared in an all-hands or board update]
## Tone Guidelines
- Write for a CFO, not an engineer
- Lead with customer outcomes, not features
- Be honest about what's NOT on the roadmap and why
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Every initiative in the input maps to a strategic theme
- [ ] The executive summary can stand alone and be repeated correctly after one reading
- [ ] Progression narrative shows causal links between quarters (not just chronological listing)
- [ ] "What's not on the roadmap" section includes at least 2 items with clear rationale
- [ ] Language throughout is free of engineering jargon — tested by asking: "could a CFO repeat this?"
