Create or maintain `STRATEGY.md` — the product's target problem, our approach, who it's for, key metrics, and tracks of work. Use when starting a new product, updating direction, or when prompts like 'write our strategy', 'update the roadmap', 'what are we working on', or 'set up the strategy doc' come up. Also fires when `/flow-next:prospect`, `/flow-next:plan`, `/flow-next:refine`, or `/flow-next:capture` need upstream grounding and no strategy doc exists yet.
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
# /flow-next:strategy — repo-root STRATEGY.md anchor
`flow-next-strategy` produces and maintains `STRATEGY.md` — a short, durable anchor at the repo root (peer of `README.md` / `GLOSSARY.md`) that captures what the product is, who it serves, how it succeeds, and where the team is investing. Downstream skills (`/flow-next:prospect`, `/flow-next:plan`, `/flow-next:refine`, `/flow-next:capture`, `/flow-next:sync`) read it as grounding when `sections_filled >= 1`.
The document is short and structured on purpose. Good answers to a handful of sharp questions produce a better strategy than any amount of prose. This skill asks those questions, pushes back on weak answers, and writes the doc.
**Date the strategy document from `date -u +%Y-%m-%d`** (run it; never assume the year).
Read [working-rules.md](../../references/working-rules.md) first unless you already have this run; it holds for every step of this skill.
## Preamble
flowctl is **bundled — NOT installed globally.** `which flowctl` will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks use `$FLOWCTL`:
```bash
FLOWCTL="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/scripts/flowctl"

How to install
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-strategy@sha256:922d535922168cc8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.f99dbf0, 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.
