Write the product vision, the destination, which may be unfalsifiable, and the product strategy, the route, which must be falsifiable this year: a diagnosis, a guiding policy stated as a constraint, coherent bets that each name what they refuse, and the one alternative rejected in favor of the one chosen. Use when a vision reads like a poster or nobody can find one, when a strategy is a roadmap retyped in prose or a goals slide with adjectives, before annual planning copies last year's…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vision and Strategy: a wish list is not a strategy

Ask a team for their strategy and what usually comes back is a roadmap wearing adjectives, or a vision doing two jobs badly because nobody separated them. The vision names a destination nobody can disprove this quarter; the strategy commits to a route a bad quarter can disprove, and merging them produces a document that cannot be planned against or be wrong either. This skill writes them as two documents, forces the strategy to name what it refuses and the alternative it rejected, and stops at the edge of positioning and the north star, which belong to other skills.

## Files this skill drives

- [../../templates/planning/vision.md](../../templates/planning/vision.md), the destination: future state, who it is for, why now, non-goals
- [../../templates/planning/product-strategy.md](../../templates/planning/product-strategy.md), the route: diagnosis, bets, differentiation, sequencing, success metrics, risks

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/write-vision-strategy@sha256:c6f49203edc522aa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2bf6847, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
