Onboarding New Hires

Design meeting rhythms, metric reporting, quarterly planning, and decision-making velocity for scaling companies. Use when decisions are slow, planning is broken, the company is growing but alignment is worse, or leadership meetings consume all time without producing decisions.

Formulate and audit real strategy using Richard Rumelt's "Good Strategy Bad Strategy": an honest diagnosis, a guiding policy, and coherent action instead of goals, vision, and wishful thinking. Use when the user mentions "good strategy bad strategy", "strategy kernel", "diagnosis guiding policy coherent action", "our strategy is just goals", "strategic planning", "mission vs strategy", "annual plan", or "is this actually a strategy". Also trigger when auditing a strategy doc or pitch deck for fluff, turning a goal list into real strategy, formulating strategy for a product or company, or finding leverage and proximate objectives. Covers the kernel of strategy, bad-strategy detection, and sources of power. For product positioning, see obviously-awesome. For uncontested markets, see blue-ocean-strategy.

Help users plan and run effective team offsites. Use when someone is organizing a team retreat, planning a strategy offsite, trying to improve remote team cohesion, or preparing for quarterly planning sessions.

When the user wants to plan a social media content strategy, decide what to post, or figure out topic clusters and content mix. Also use when the user mentions 'content strategy,' 'what should I post,' 'content ideas,' 'topic clusters,' 'content pillars,' 'content planning,' 'content mix,' 'I don't know what to post,' or 'social media strategy.' Use this to define the what and why of posting. For writing actual posts, see post-writer-sms. For scheduling, see content-calendar-sms. For platform-specific tactics, see platform-strategy-sms.

Design experiment plans with progressive stages — initial implementation, baseline tuning, creative research, and ablation studies. Plan baselines, datasets, hyperparameter sweeps, and evaluation metrics. Use when planning experiments for a research paper.

Vision intake conversation followed by generation of three product documents — `docs/product-vision.md` (strategy and brand), `docs/prd.md` (technical spec for coding agents), and `docs/product-roadmap.md` (phased build plan with task checkboxes). Also captures the founder's answers as `docs/VISION.md`. Use when the founder says "plan my product", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "create a roadmap", "spec out my idea", "help me build something", or wants to convert an idea into shippable spec documents.
