/wbVision — Command Hub
/wbVision produces high-level strategic analysis of a product's direction, competitive position, and roadmap recommendations. It synthesizes from README, commits, issues, and architecture into a structured document. Unlike /wbPlan which produces tactical task lists, /wbVision operates at the product strategy level — answering what should we build and why, not how do we build it.
🎯 Strategic Position
/wbVision operates above the tactical layer of the command suite. While /wbPlan tells you how to build something and /wbAudit tells you how healthy the code is, /wbVision answers the question that should come before either: what should exist in the first place, and why. Create it at project start, refresh it quarterly, and use --diff to check whether development trajectory aligns with the stated direction.
- At project start — create the initial vision document.
- Quarterly — refresh and validate the strategic direction.
- Before a major roadmap decision — check alignment.
🛠️ Operating Modes
| Mode | Trigger | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Create | /wbVision <project> | Strategic document synthesized from README, commits, issues, architecture |
| Trajectory | /wbVision --diff | Alignment check: is development matching the stated direction? |
✅ What a useful vision document contains
A useful vision document includes at minimum:
- Product direction — what are we building and for whom.
- Competitive positioning — where this fits in the market landscape.
- Roadmap recommendations with rationale — priorities, not just a list.
- Source traceability — synthesis grounded in README, commits, issues, and architecture.
🚫 What it cannot do
| Not this | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Plan tactical tasks | /wbPlan |
| Audit code quality | /wbAudit |
It also does not execute any changes — it is analysis only.
