 ## Roadmap
 
-Candidates from the m-dev-tools sprint plan ([Tier 6b](https://github.com/m-dev-tools/.github/blob/main/profile/README.md)):
+Candidate plugins (none committed to a release window — these land
+when the need surfaces, ideally bringing real-world usage with them):
 
 - `m bench` — perf benchmarking m-cli operations against a corpus
 - `m diff` — semantic AST diff between two `.m` files
 - `m migrate <preset>` — bulk-apply Phase A formatter translation
 - `m audit` — license/header audit for a project's `.m` files
 
-These will land incrementally as the need surfaces. Open an issue if
-you want to prioritize one.
+The triage criteria for new plugins (when does something belong here
+vs. in m-cli core?) are in
+[`m-cli/docs/plugin-development.md`](https://github.com/m-dev-tools/m-cli/blob/main/docs/plugin-development.md).
+Open an issue if you want to prioritize one.
