recipe-vision

Context: Create or update docs/product/vision.md with Product Outcomes, Business Outcomes, NSM, design principles, and strategic priorities.

Orchestrator Definition

Execution Protocol:

1. Follow the vision flow defined below
2. Stop at every [STOP — BLOCKING] marker — present findings and CANNOT proceed until user explicitly confirms

Workflow Overview

Input (new product / strategic update / reflection trigger)
    ↓
1. Context Assessment → New vs. Update mode
    ↓
2. Vision Definition → Product vision, design vision, outcomes, NSM
    ↓
3. Design Principles → Define or review product-specific principles
    ↓
4. Strategic Priorities → Current cycle priorities [Stop: User confirms vision]
    ↓
Output: docs/product/vision.md + docs/product/design-principles.md

Execution Decision Flow

1. Context Assessment

Input: $ARGUMENTS

2. Vision Definition

Use references/vision-template.md to structure the vision:

New Product (Create Mode)

1. Product Vision: What does this product aspire to become? (2-3 sentences)
2. Design Vision: How should the product feel to users?
3. Business Outcomes: What business results does the product contribute to?
4. Product Outcomes: What team-controllable product goals drive those business results?
5. NSM: What single metric connects Product Outcomes to Business Outcomes?

Existing Product (Update Mode)

1. Review current vision against recent learnings (docs/product/learnings.md)
2. Assess whether Product Outcomes are still the right targets
3. Evaluate NSM — still the right connecting metric?
4. Update specific sections based on trigger

3. Design Principles

Define or review 3-5 product-specific design principles:

• Each principle should resolve a specific design trade-off
• Principles guide all design decisions across the product
• Write to docs/product/design-principles.md

4. Strategic Priorities

Define current cycle priorities:

• Map priorities to Product Outcomes
• Identify key Opportunities per priority
• Document strategic bets (outcome-level hypotheses)

[STOP — BLOCKING] Present complete vision to user for confirmation:

• Product vision and design vision
• Outcome structure (Business → Product → NSM)
• Design principles
• Strategic priorities for current cycle
• Strategic bets with confidence levels

CANNOT write files until user explicitly confirms.

5. File Output

After user approval:

• Write or update docs/product/vision.md
• Write or update docs/product/design-principles.md
• Initialize docs/product/learnings.md if it doesn't exist (empty, populated through reflection cycles)

Scope Boundaries

Included: Vision definition, outcome structure, NSM, design principles, strategic priorities Not included: Opportunity discovery, persona definition, reflection/distillation

Completion Criteria

• Context assessed (create vs. update)
• Vision defined with outcome structure
• NSM defined with rationale
• Design principles defined (3-5 principles)
• Strategic priorities set for current cycle
• User confirmed vision
• Files written to docs/product/
