SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

STRATEGY.md provides a durable, canonical anchor for product direction that downstream skills use for grounding and alignment, ensuring teams stay on a shared track as they ideate, brainstorm, and plan work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces and maintains STRATEGY.md at the repo root as a concise, durable anchor document for problem, approach, users, metrics, and tracks.
  • Supports Phase 0-3 execution: first-run interview with references/interview.md, update runs, and downstream handoff to ce-ideate/ce-brainstorm/ce-plan.
  • Automates grounding for downstream skills by providing a consistent reference document when strategy exists or is created dynamically.

Quick Start

Run ce-strategy to generate or update STRATEGY.md for the current product.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a durable product strategy document to anchor team planning?

You can generate a durable product strategy document by running an interactive interview process that organizes problem, approach, users, metrics, and tracks into a concise canonical file. This ensures downstream planning stays aligned.

What is the best way to ground product ideation when a strategy is missing?

Grounding product ideation requires a canonical strategy anchor. You can dynamically generate this reference document through a structured interview to ensure brainstorming and planning remain aligned with the core product direction.

How do I update an existing product direction document without losing original alignment?

Updating product direction involves running an update pass on your existing strategy document. This modifies the canonical anchor to reflect new metrics and approaches while maintaining a shared track for downstream ideation.

Do I need any specific frameworks to solidify product strategy with repeatable prompts?

No specific external frameworks are required. The process uses internal reference templates for interviews and strategy structure to prompt you directly, producing a concise markdown document without additional dependencies.

When should I use a structured strategy template instead of ad-hoc planning?

A structured strategy template is needed when starting a new product, updating direction, or grounding downstream planning prompts. It provides a durable canonical anchor that prevents teams from losing alignment during ideation.

Can I use this strategy document to align multiple downstream planning phases?

Yes, the generated strategy document acts as a durable canonical anchor for downstream phases. It explicitly supports execution workflows by providing a consistent reference for ideation, brainstorming, and planning tasks.
