What problem does it solve?
Teams frequently lack consistent, up-to-date core project context, leading to misaligned feature specifications, inconsistent implementation patterns, and wasted time onboarding new contributors to existing codebases.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Steering Document Generation: Produces three project-specific, long-lived steering docs: product.md (vision, target users, business objectives), tech.md (tech stack, patterns, tooling, SDD workflow backends), and structure.md (directory layout, naming conventions, test placement).
- Workflow Integration: Acts as Phase 0 of the ol-sdd-workflow orchestrator, and can be invoked directly to set up steering for new projects, onboard existing codebases into OL SDD workflows, or refresh docs after major product or tech stack changes.
- Use Case Example: When onboarding a legacy codebase to the OL SDD workflow, this skill scans the existing codebase to auto-populate tech.md and structure.md, then guides you through filling product.md to align all downstream work.
Quick Start
Use the product-vision-steering skill to generate the three core steering documents for your new project, including product vision, approved tech stack, and directory structure guidelines.
