Research to Roadmap (r2r)
A Claude Code plugin I built overnight to transform R&D projects, POCs, and lab experiments into production-ready roadmaps.
The Pipeline
┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ ┌────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────┐
│ ASSESS │ → │ DECOMPOSE │ → │ PRIORITIZE │ → │ ROADMAP │ → │ VALIDATE │ → │ EXPORT │
└─────────┘ └───────────┘ └────────────┘ └─────────┘ └──────────┘ └────────┘
What Each Phase Does
1. ASSESS /r2r:assess
- Analyzes research artifacts (POCs, spikes, ADRs)
- Determines what was actually proven vs assumed
- Gives a production readiness score (1-10)
- Identifies gaps and technical debt
2. DECOMPOSE /r2r:decompose
- Breaks research into shippable components
- Single-responsibility units
- T-shirt sizing (S/M/L/XL)
- Maps dependencies between components
3. PRIORITIZE /r2r:prioritize
- Effort vs impact scoring
- Assigns to horizons:
- H1 (0-3 months): Ship now
- H2 (3-6 months): Build next
- H3 (6-12 months): Explore later
- Identifies quick wins
4. ROADMAP /r2r:roadmap
- Generates milestone-based roadmap
- Creates Mermaid Gantt timeline
- Maps release phases (Internal → Private → Public → GA)
- Multiple stakeholder views (exec/eng/PM)
5. VALIDATE /r2r:validate
- Pre-mortem analysis ("The project failed because...")
- Assumption audit
- Dependency validation
- Kill criteria check
- Pass/Caution/Fail status
6. EXPORT /r2r:export
- GitHub Issues + Milestones
- Linear issues
- Markdown summary
- JSON for automation
Why I Built This
Most R&D work dies in the gap between "cool demo" and "production system." This plugin creates a structured path across that gap, based on patterns from GitHub Next, Linear, Vercel, and Figma's labs.
Try It
/r2r:full ./path/to/research
Or run /r2r-demo to see sample output.
Keep the response concise. Don't add extra commentary beyond the workflow explanation.
