SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Teams often lack a clear, durable product strategy document, leading to unfocused roadmaps and feature lists masquerading as strategy. This Skill interviews you with rigorous pushback questions and writes a concise STRATEGY.md that anchors downstream planning work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Strategy Interview: Asks sharp questions across target problem, approach, persona, metrics, and tracks, with named anti-pattern pushback to reject vague or weak answers. - Rerunnable Updates: On repeat runs it reads the existing STRATEGY.md, summarizes current state, and re-interviews only the sections you choose to revisit. - Downstream Grounding: Produces a canonical STRATEGY.md at the repo root that ce-ideate, ce-brainstorm, and ce-plan read as context on their next run. - Use Case: A founder starting a new product runs the skill, answers the interview questions, and gets a one-page strategy doc with 3-5 key metrics and 2-4 investment tracks ready to guide planning. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write our product strategy doc and answer its interview questions one at a time.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a product strategy document with AI?

Run the skill and answer its interview questions covering target problem, approach, primary user, key metrics, and tracks. It pushes back on weak answers, drafts the document from a fixed template, and writes it to STRATEGY.md at your repo root.

What sections should a product strategy doc include?

The template includes target problem, our approach, who it's for, key metrics (3-5), and tracks (2-4), plus optional milestones, not-working-on, and marketing sections. Section order is locked and optional sections are deleted if unused.

Can I update only one section of an existing strategy doc?

Yes. Pass a section name like metrics or approach as an argument, and the skill re-interviews only that section while preserving everything else. It also refreshes the last_updated date in the frontmatter.

What makes a good product strategy versus a bad one?

The skill follows Richard Rumelt's kernel of diagnosis, guiding policy, and coherent action. It rejects fluff, goals stated as strategy, vanity metrics, and feature lists in place of a guiding choice, pushing for falsifiable problems and clear commitments.

Does the strategy skill prioritize my backlog or write implementation plans?

No. It only produces the strategy anchor document. Backlog prioritization, product requirements, and implementation plans are handled by separate workflows such as ce-brainstorm and ce-plan.
