timeline-creator
The Timeline Creator generates interactive HTML visualizations for project schedules, displaying tasks as Gantt chart bars organized by phases with milestone markers and progress indicators. Use this skill when users request project timelines, roadmaps, quarterly schedules, or visual representations of task durations and project milestones.

# Timeline Creator
Create interactive HTML timelines and project roadmaps with Gantt charts and milestones.
## When to Use
- "Create timeline for [project]"
- "Generate roadmap for Q1-Q4"
- "Make Gantt chart for schedule"
- "Show project milestones"
## Components
1. **Timeline Header**: project name, date range, completion %
2. **Phase Groups**: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 or custom phases
3. **Timeline Items**: tasks with start/end dates, progress, status
4. **Milestones**: key deliverables with dates
5. **Gantt Visualization**: horizontal bars showing duration
## HTML Structure
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>[Project] Timeline</title>
<style>
body { font-family: system-ui; max-width: 1400px; margin: 0 auto; }
.timeline-bar { background: linear-gradient(90deg, #4299e1, #48bb78); height: 20px; border-radius: 4px; }
.milestone { border-left: 3px solid #e53e3e; padding-left: 10px; }
/* Status colors: #48bb78 (done), #4299e1 (in-progress), #718096 (planned) */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>[Project] Timeline</h1>
<!-- Phase sections with timeline bars -->
<!-- Milestones list -->
</body>
</html>
```
## Timeline Bar Pattern
```html
<div class="timeline-item">
<span>Task Name</span>
<div class="timeline-bar" style="width: [percentage]%; background: [status-color];"></div>
<span>[start] - [end]</span>
</div>
```
## Workflow
1. Extract tasks, dates, phases from project
2. Calculate duration percentages
3. Group by phases (quarters or custom)
4. Create HTML with Gantt-style bars
5. Add milestones section
6. Write to `[project]-timeline.html`
Use semantic colors for status, keep layout responsive.Create comprehensive HTML architecture diagrams showing data flows, business objectives, features, technical architecture, and deployment. Use when users request system architecture, project documentation, high-level overviews, or technical specifications.
Performs comprehensive codebase analysis covering architecture, code quality, security, performance, testing, and maintainability. Use when user wants to audit code quality, identify technical debt, find security issues, assess test coverage, or get a codebase health check.
Execute Python code locally with marketplace API access for 90%+ token savings on bulk operations. Activates when user requests bulk operations (10+ files), complex multi-step workflows, iterative processing, or mentions efficiency/performance.
Perform bulk code refactoring operations like renaming variables/functions across files, replacing patterns, and updating API calls. Use when users request renaming identifiers, replacing deprecated code patterns, updating method calls, or making consistent changes across multiple locations.
Transfer code between files with line-based precision. Use when users request copying code from one location to another, moving functions or classes between files, extracting code blocks, or inserting code at specific line numbers.
Generates comprehensive documentation explaining how a codebase works, including architecture, key components, data flow, and development guidelines. Use when user wants to understand unfamiliar code, create onboarding docs, document architecture, or explain how the system works.
Analyzes your Claude Code conversation history to identify patterns, common mistakes, and opportunities for workflow improvement. Use when user wants to understand usage patterns, optimize workflow, identify automation opportunities, or check if they're following best practices.
Create HTML dashboards with KPI metric cards, bar/pie/line charts, progress indicators, and data visualizations. Use when users request dashboards, metrics displays, KPI visualizations, data charts, or monitoring interfaces.
