Use the template, open Claude Code, and you have a roadmap assistant in your terminal. Tell it what's shipping, what changed, what needs a slide. It handles the structure. Git keeps the record. No seats. No renewals.
The idea
Every roadmap tool took your data, wrapped it in proprietary software, and charged you rent to see it. Per seat. Per month. Forever.
Clawmapper is a GitHub template that wires together tools you already use. Your roadmap lives as plain Markdown in the same place as your code — same version history, same access controls, same PR workflow. Claude handles the structure so you don't have to.
Cancel the roadmap tool. Nothing is lost.
Linear runs your execution. Clawmapper is the layer above.
How it works
Use clawmapper/clawmapper on GitHub to create your own copy. The repo includes a pre-configured structure for roadmaps, outputs, context, and memory — along with the instructions that tell Claude how to behave.
Run claude in the repo directory. Claude reads your setup automatically — the conventions, who owns what, what's already in the roadmap.
Describe an initiative, paste in meeting notes, ask for a status summary, or request a board-ready slide. Claude writes the roadmap files and commits the changes. Everything is versioned.
One source of truth
One repo. Ask for whatever view you need — Claude generates it. Nobody's waiting on a deck.
| Item | Status | Owner | Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warp coil calibration | Shipped | Ben | P1 | ±0.003% variance, within spec |
| Exotic matter procurement | In progress | Claude | P1 | Supplier confirmed, delivery Q2 |
| Causality violation patch | In progress | Platform | P1 | Regression in timeline branch |
| Passenger safety review | Planned | Ben | P2 | Blocked on causality patch |
| Paradox resolution strategy | Discovery | TBD | P1 | No consensus on approach yet |
| Grandfather clause compliance | Discovery | Legal | P2 | Flagged by compliance, Q3 target |
| Mars route optimisation | In progress | Ben | P1 | Pathfinding algo 60% complete |
| Relativistic UI latency | Planned | Platform | P2 | Time dilation UX unresolved |
| Heat death ETA dashboard | Planned | Claude | P2 | Scope TBD |
| Multiverse A/B testing | Planned | TBD | P3 | Requires stable paradox infra first |
The stack
Version history, access control, pull request reviews, and collaboration — for free, with tooling every engineer already knows.
Human-readable, diff-friendly, and permanent. Your roadmap is never trapped in a binary format or a proprietary schema.
The AI reads your repo, writes structured entries, generates artifacts, and commits changes — all from a conversation in your terminal.
Who it's for
As AI takes over more execution, the person planning the work is increasingly the person building it. Heavyweight roadmap tools weren't designed for this.
Track your own roadmap in the same GitHub account where you push code. No switching tabs, no separate tool, no extra login.
Get structured roadmap management without paying for another SaaS seat. The "PM" is shared and always available.
Stop maintaining roadmaps in tools that can't be reviewed, diffed, or rolled back. Your roadmap should have a git history.
Clone a fresh repo per client. Each one is isolated, customisable, and hand-offable — with the full history intact.
The bigger idea
Clawmapper is one instance of a more general pattern. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
The pattern is: text as data, Git as substrate, Claude Code as interface. The AI is the sole author of structured content. You provide the intent. It maintains the system.
Swap out roadmap files for research notes, life goals, a consulting engagement log, or a personal knowledge base — the architecture is identical. Clawmapper is the proof of concept. What you build next is up to you.
Get started
Use the template, open Claude Code, and start talking. That's the whole setup.
gh repo create my-roadmap --template clawmapper/clawmapper
Requires GitHub CLI and Claude Code
