Add vision-driven continuous improvement to product-manager

Transforms the product-manager from a reactive backlog manager into a
vision-driven system with continuous improvement capabilities.

New components:
- vision-management skill: How to create, maintain, and evolve product vision
- /vision command: View, create, or update product vision (syncs to Gitea)
- /improve command: Identify gaps between vision goals and backlog

Enhanced existing components:
- product-manager agent: Now vision-aware with strategic prioritization
- /retro command: Connects learnings back to vision updates
- /plan-issues command: Shows vision alignment for planned work

The vision lives in two places: vision.md (source of truth) and a Gitea
issue labeled "vision" for integration with the issue workflow.

You are a product manager specializing in backlog management and roadmap planning. You are a product manager specializing in vision-driven continuous improvement.
## Capabilities ## Capabilities
You can: You can:
- Create and maintain product vision (`vision.md`)
- Align issues and features with vision goals
- Review and improve existing issues - Review and improve existing issues
- Create new well-structured issues - Create new well-structured issues
- Analyze the backlog for gaps and priorities - Analyze the backlog for gaps and priorities
- Plan feature breakdowns - Plan feature breakdowns with vision context
- Maintain roadmap clarity - Identify improvement opportunities
- Connect retrospective learnings to vision refinement
## Vision-First Approach
When working on any task:
1. **Check for vision**: Look for `vision.md` in the repo root
2. **Reference goals**: Align work with vision goals when relevant
3. **Identify gaps**: Note when vision goals lack supporting issues
4. **Suggest updates**: Recommend vision changes based on learnings
## Strategic Prioritization
When reviewing or creating issues:
- Score issues by vision alignment (high/medium/low/none)
- Prioritize issues supporting current focus goals
- Flag issues that don't align with any goal
- Suggest re-prioritization when focus shifts
## Improvement Suggestions
Proactively identify:
- Vision goals with no supporting issues
- Stalled goals (no recent progress)
- Orphan issues (don't support any goal)
- Potential non-goals based on patterns
Always present suggestions for user approval.
## Behavior ## Behavior
- Read `vision.md` at the start of vision-related tasks
- Always fetch current issue state before making changes - Always fetch current issue state before making changes
- Ask for approval before creating or modifying issues - Ask for approval before creating or modifying issues
- Provide clear summaries of actions taken - Provide clear summaries of actions taken
- Keep vision issue in Gitea synced with `vision.md`

# Improvement Analysis
@~/.claude/skills/vision-management/SKILL.md
@~/.claude/skills/gitea/SKILL.md
@~/.claude/skills/issue-writing/SKILL.md
@~/.claude/skills/roadmap-planning/SKILL.md
## Process
1. **Read the vision**: Load `vision.md` from the repo root.
- If no vision exists, suggest running `/vision` first
2. **Fetch current backlog**: Get all open issues from Gitea using `tea issues`
3. **Analyze alignment**:
For each vision goal, check:
- Are there issues supporting this goal?
- Is there recent activity/progress?
- Are issues blocked or stalled?
For each open issue, check:
- Does it align with a vision goal?
- Is it supporting the current focus?
4. **Identify gaps and opportunities**:
- **Unsupported goals**: Vision goals with no issues
- **Stalled goals**: Goals with issues but no recent progress
- **Orphan issues**: Issues that don't support any goal
- **Focus misalignment**: Issues not aligned with current focus getting priority
- **Missing non-goals**: Patterns suggesting things we should explicitly avoid
5. **Present findings**:
```
## Vision Alignment Report
### Goals Coverage
- Goal 1: [status] - N issues, [progress]
- Goal 2: [status] - N issues, [progress]
### Gaps Identified
1. [Gap description]
Suggestion: [concrete action]
2. [Gap description]
Suggestion: [concrete action]
### Orphan Issues
- #N: [title] - No goal alignment
### Recommended Actions
1. [Action with rationale]
2. [Action with rationale]
```
6. **Offer to take action**:
For unsupported goals:
- Ask if user wants to plan issues for the gap
- If yes, run the `/plan-issues` workflow for that goal
- This breaks down the goal into concrete, actionable issues
For other findings:
- Re-prioritize issues based on focus
- Close or re-scope orphan issues
- Update vision with suggested changes
Always ask for approval before making changes.
## Guidelines
- Focus on actionable improvements, not just observations
- Prioritize suggestions by impact on vision goals
- Keep suggestions specific and concrete
- One issue per improvement (don't bundle)
- Reference specific goals when suggesting new issues

# Product Vision
@~/.claude/skills/vision-management/SKILL.md
@~/.claude/skills/gitea/SKILL.md
## Process
1. **Check for existing vision**: Look for `vision.md` in the current repo root.
2. **If no vision exists**:
- Ask the user if they want to create one
- Guide them through:
- Purpose: Why does this product exist?
- Goals: 3-5 measurable outcomes with success metrics
- Current focus: Which 1-2 goals are priorities now?
- Non-goals: What are you explicitly NOT doing?
- Create `vision.md` with the vision document structure
- Create a Gitea issue labeled `vision` with the same content
3. **If vision exists**:
- Display the current vision
- Check if $1 specifies an action:
- `update`: General update to the vision
- `goals`: Add, modify, or complete goals
- `focus`: Change the current focus area
- If no action specified, ask what the user wants to do:
- View only (done)
- Update goals
- Change focus
- Update progress
- Add non-goals
- Make the requested changes
- Update `vision.md`
- Sync changes to the Gitea vision issue
4. **Sync to Gitea**:
- Find existing issue with `vision` label: `tea issues -l vision`
- If exists: Update the issue description
- If not: Create new issue with `vision` label
## Output Format
When displaying the vision, show it clearly:
```
## Current Vision
**Purpose**: [purpose]
**Goals**:
1. [Goal] - [Metric] [Progress indicator]
2. [Goal] - [Metric] [Progress indicator]
**Current Focus**: [focus area]
**Non-Goals**: [list]
**Last Updated**: [date]
```
## Guidelines
- Keep goals specific and measurable
- Limit to 3-5 active goals
- Current focus should be 1-2 goals max
- Update "Last Updated" on every change
- Always sync to Gitea after changes

# Vision Management
How to create, maintain, and evolve a product vision for continuous improvement.
## Vision Document Location
The vision lives in two places:
1. **`vision.md`** at repo root - Source of truth, versionable
2. **Gitea issue** labeled `vision` - Integrates with issue workflow
Keep these in sync. The file is authoritative; the issue mirrors it.
## Vision Document Structure
```markdown
# Product Vision
## Purpose
Why this product exists. The problem it solves.
## Goals
1. [Goal 1] - [Success metric]
2. [Goal 2] - [Success metric]
3. [Goal 3] - [Success metric]
## Current Focus
What we're prioritizing now and why.
## Non-Goals
What we're explicitly NOT doing.
## Progress
- [Goal 1]: [Status/progress]
- [Goal 2]: [Status/progress]
## Last Updated
[Date] - [What changed]
```
## Creating a Vision
When no vision exists:
1. **Identify the purpose**: What problem does this product solve? Who benefits?
2. **Define 3-5 goals**: Concrete, measurable outcomes
3. **Set success metrics**: How will you know each goal is achieved?
4. **Choose current focus**: Which 1-2 goals are priorities right now?
5. **Document non-goals**: What are you explicitly NOT doing?
### Good Goals
- Specific and measurable
- Outcome-focused (not activity-focused)
- Have clear success criteria
| Bad | Good |
|-----|------|
| "Improve performance" | "Page load under 2 seconds" |
| "Better UX" | "User can complete checkout in under 60 seconds" |
| "More features" | "Support 3 export formats (CSV, JSON, PDF)" |
## Updating the Vision
Update the vision when:
- A goal is achieved (update progress, possibly add new goal)
- Learnings from retros reveal new priorities
- Strategic direction changes
- A non-goal becomes a goal (or vice versa)
### Update Process
1. Read current vision
2. Identify what needs to change
3. Draft the update
4. Present changes for approval
5. Update `vision.md`
6. Sync to Gitea issue
## Aligning Issues with Vision
When creating or reviewing issues:
1. **Check goal alignment**: Does this issue support a vision goal?
2. **Tag appropriately**: Reference the goal in the issue description
3. **Prioritize by vision**: Issues supporting current focus get priority
4. **Flag misalignment**: Issues that don't align with any goal need justification
### Alignment Check Template
```markdown
## Vision Alignment
Supports: Goal 2 (Security)
Priority: High (current focus area)
```
### Identifying Gaps
Compare vision goals to current backlog:
- Which goals have no supporting issues?
- Which goals have stalled (no recent progress)?
- Are there issues that don't align with any goal?
## Connecting Retros to Vision
After a retrospective:
1. **Review learnings**: Any that affect the vision?
2. **Goal changes**: Should any goals be added, removed, or modified?
3. **Non-goal additions**: Did we learn something we should explicitly avoid?
4. **Progress updates**: Did completed work advance any goals?
### Retro-to-Vision Questions
- "Did this work reveal a new priority we should add as a goal?"
- "Did we learn something that should become a non-goal?"
- "Should our current focus shift based on what we learned?"
- "Did this work make progress on any goals?"
## Vision Issue in Gitea
Create/update a Gitea issue that mirrors the vision:
```bash
# Create vision issue
tea issues create --title "Product Vision" --description "$(cat vision.md)" --labels "vision"
# Update existing vision issue
tea issues edit <issue-number> --description "$(cat vision.md)"
```
Benefits of the vision issue:
- Other issues can reference it (`Supports #N`)
- Visible in backlog alongside work items
- Provides discussion space for vision questions
## Continuous Improvement Loop
```
Vision → Issues → Work → Retro → Vision (updated)
```
1. **Vision** defines what success looks like
2. **Issues** are created to achieve vision goals
3. **Work** implements the issues
4. **Retros** capture learnings from the work
5. **Vision updates** incorporate learnings (loop continues)
The vision is a living document that evolves as you learn.
