SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Product strategy often lives in scattered notes or vague tickets, leaving agentic workflows without a durable anchor for what the product is, who it serves, and how success is measured. This Skill interviews the user and writes a short, structured STRATEGY.md at the repository root that downstream planning skills can read as grounding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided strategy interview: Asks sharp questions for five required sections (Target problem, Our approach, Who it's for, Key metrics, Tracks) and pushes back on weak answers like vanity metrics or feature lists.
  • Safe update routing: Detects existing files via flowctl status, refuses to overwrite foreign or hand-written STRATEGY.md files without confirmation, and supports section-by-section revision with evidence scans against recent specs.
  • Atomic per-section writes: Saves each captured section to disk immediately, so interrupted runs leave a readable partial file that can be resumed later.
  • Use Case: A solo founder runs the skill to capture their product's problem, approach, personas, metrics, and tracks in a five-minute doc that later grounds idea generation and planning commands.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the flow-next strategy skill to create or update the repo-root STRATEGY.md for this project.

Frequently Asked Questions about flow-next-strategy

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a product strategy document for my repository?

Run the flow-next-strategy skill, which interviews you section by section on the target problem, approach, users, metrics, and tracks, then writes a structured STRATEGY.md at the repo root. Each section is saved atomically as you answer.

How do I update an existing STRATEGY.md without rewriting it?

On rerun, the skill detects a populated file and routes to an update workflow. It summarizes current sections, scans recent specs for drift against declared tracks, and lets you revisit individual sections while leaving others byte-identical.

Will the skill overwrite my hand-written STRATEGY.md?

No. It checks a generator sentinel in the frontmatter and refuses to touch files not created by flow-next-strategy. You can keep the file, or explicitly confirm a destructive rewrite after a second confirmation prompt.

What sections does the STRATEGY.md template include?

Five required sections: Target problem, Our approach, Who it's for, Key metrics, and Tracks. Two optional sections, Milestones and Not working on, are offered only if externally visible dates or real temptations exist.

What are the limitations of the strategy skill?

It cannot run inside autonomous Ralph loops, does not migrate foreign-format strategy files, does not compute metric values, and never deletes the file even if all sections are removed. It also caps sections at the locked template structure.
