write-vision-strategy skillA

write-vision-strategy is agent-read markdown (skill) from rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os: 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 document .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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
