gsd:create-roadmap	Create roadmap with phases for the project	Read Write Bash AskUserQuestion Glob Task

Create project roadmap with phase breakdown.

Roadmaps define what work happens in what order. Phases map to requirements.

Note: For new projects, /gsd:new-project includes roadmap creation. Use this command to recreate roadmap later.

@.planning/PROJECT.md @.planning/config.json @.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md @.planning/research/SUMMARY.md (if exists) ```bash # Verify project exists [ -f .planning/PROJECT.md ] || { echo "ERROR: No PROJECT.md found. Run /gsd:new-project first."; exit 1; }

Verify requirements exist

[ -f .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md ] || { echo "ERROR: No REQUIREMENTS.md found. Run /gsd:define-requirements first."; exit 1; }

</step>

<step name="check_existing">
Check if roadmap already exists:

```bash
[ -f .planning/ROADMAP.md ] && echo "ROADMAP_EXISTS" || echo "NO_ROADMAP"

If ROADMAP_EXISTS: Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Roadmap exists"
• question: "A roadmap already exists. What would you like to do?"
• options:
  • "View existing" - Show current roadmap
  • "Replace" - Create new roadmap (will overwrite)
  • "Cancel" - Keep existing roadmap

If "View existing": cat .planning/ROADMAP.md and exit If "Cancel": Exit If "Replace": Continue with workflow

Follow the create-roadmap.md workflow starting from identify_phases step.

The workflow handles:

• Loading requirements
• Phase identification mapped to requirements
• Requirement coverage validation (no orphaned requirements)
• Research flags for each phase
• Confirmation gates (respecting config mode)
• ROADMAP.md creation with requirement mappings
• STATE.md initialization
• REQUIREMENTS.md traceability update
• Phase directory creation
• Git commit

``` Roadmap created: - Roadmap: .planning/ROADMAP.md - State: .planning/STATE.md - [N] phases defined
