/strategize - Strategic Prioritization

Answer "what should I work on next?" Quick mode gives a prioritized 3-5 list. Deep mode writes a full strategic review.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Pipeline: /idea → /brainstorm → /plan → /strategize → /run-project

Step 0: Parse Input & Company Anchor

Check if first word of $ARGUMENTS matches a company slug in companies/manifest.yaml.

How to check: Read companies/manifest.yaml. Extract top-level keys (company slugs). If the first word of $ARGUMENTS exactly matches one:

1. Set {co} = matched slug. Strip from $ARGUMENTS
2. Announce: "Anchored on {co}"

If no match → company resolved in Step 1.

Flag detection: Check remaining args for --deep. If found, set mode = deep, strip flag. Default: mode = quick.

Step 1: Resolve Company

If {co} already set from Step 0: skip to Step 2.

Priority order:

1. cwd inside companies/{slug}/ → infer from path
2. cwd inside repos/{pub|priv}/{name} → manifest lookup for owning company
3. Ask via AskUserQuestion: "Which company?" — list slugs that have board.json

Read companies/{co}/board.json. If file doesn't exist: "No board.json for {co}. Run /idea to start one." — exit. If schema_version < 2 or missing: warn "Board is v1 — objective analysis unavailable. Showing project-only view." — proceed with projects only.

Step 2: Load Board Data

From companies/{co}/board.json extract:

• objectives[] with their key_results[]
• projects[] — exclude status archived

PRD reads: For each non-archived project where prd_path is set AND status is in_progress or prd_created:

• Read the prd.json file at the path
• Extract: story_total = userStories.length, story_done = count where passes === true, prd_status = metadata.status
• Cap at 15 prd.json reads — prioritize in_progress first, then prd_created
• If file doesn't exist at prd_path, skip silently (note "PRD not found" in output)

Step 3: Compute Signals

A. STALLED

Projects where:

• Board status = in_progress
• Story completion < 25% (or 0 done out of 3+ total)
• Has prd_path (distinguishes real projects from ideas marked in_progress)

B. READY

Projects where:

• Board status = prd_created OR prd_status = ready
• Has valid prd_path
• Story completion = 0% (not started)

C. ALIGNED-IDEA

Projects where:

• Board status = idea or exploring
• Has objective_id (aligned to an objective)
• No prd_path set

D. COVERAGE-GAP

For each objective: collect all linked project IDs from key_results[].project_ids + projects with matching objective_id. If NO linked project has status in_progress or prd_created → objective has no active work.

E. Capacity (context only)

Count projects with board status in_progress.

Step 4: Score & Rank

Internal scoring (not shown to user):

• READY: base 80 + 10 if objective_id set
• ALIGNED-IDEA: base 60 + 20 if brainstorm_path exists
• STALLED: base 40 + 20 if >50% stories done (almost there), -20 if 0% done and >5 stories
• COVERAGE-GAP: base 30

Pick top 3-5 across all signal types. Deduplicate (same project can't appear twice). Tiebreak: READY > ALIGNED-IDEA > STALLED > COVERAGE-GAP.

Step 5: Output — Quick Mode

Print to terminal:

STRATEGY — {company} [{date}]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In flight: {N} active  |  {M} ready  |  {K} stalled

TOP PRIORITIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. [READY] {project title}
   Why: {1-sentence reasoning — alignment, effort, momentum}
   State: {status} | {done}/{total} stories | Obj: {obj-title or "unaligned"}
   Next: /run-project {prd-slug}

2. [STALLED] {project title}
   Why: {reasoning}
   State: {status} | {done}/{total} stories | Obj: {obj-title or "unaligned"}
   Next: /run-project {prd-slug}

... (up to 5)

Signal labels: [READY] [STALLED] [IDEA] [GAP]

If COVERAGE-GAP detected but not in top 5: Note: "{obj-title}" has no active projects.

If >10 in-flight projects: Note: {N} concurrent projects — consider completing before starting new work.

Next action routing table:

Project state	Suggested action
idea, no brainstorm	/brainstorm {co} {slug}
exploring, has brainstorm	/plan {co} {slug}
prd_created or ready	/run-project {prd-slug}
in_progress, stalled	/run-project {prd-slug} (resume)
COVERAGE-GAP (no project)	/idea {co} --objective {obj-id}

Then AskUserQuestion with options:

1. Act on #1 — {title} ({next-action-verb})
2. Act on #2 — {title} ({next-action-verb})
3. Act on #3 — {title} ({next-action-verb})
4. Run deep review (--deep)

When user picks an option: execute the routed command (e.g., invoke /run-project, /brainstorm, /plan, or /idea).

Step 6: Output — Deep Mode

Everything in Step 5 PLUS generate a markdown report.

Additional analysis:

OKR Progress — For each objective:

• List KRs with progress (current/target, %). Derived KRs: recompute current from linked project completion counts
• Status: >=70% → on_track, 40-69% → at_risk, <40% → off_track
• Flag objectives with ALL KRs off_track or NO KRs as AT-RISK

Project Funnel:

idea: N  →  exploring: N  →  prd_created: N  →  in_progress: N  →  done: N

Assess: top-heavy (many ideas, few executing), balanced, or bottom-heavy.

Unaligned Work — All in_progress or prd_created projects with no objective_id.

Capacity — Flag if in_progress > 5: "High WIP — consider completing before starting."

Write report to: workspace/reports/{co}-strategy-review.md

# {Company} Strategic Review
_Generated {date}_

## Summary
{2-3 sentence executive summary}

## Capacity
{N} projects in flight. {Assessment: focused/overloaded/underleveraged}

## OKR Coverage
| Objective | KRs | Progress | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| {title} | {count} | {avg %}  | {status} |

### At-Risk Objectives
{List with reasoning, or "None"}

## Project Funnel
{Text funnel + assessment}

## Top Priorities
{Same 3-5 list from quick mode with fuller reasoning}

## Unaligned Work
| ID | Title | Status |
|---|---|---|
{Projects with no objective_id}

## Recommended Actions
{Numbered list matching priorities with full commands}

After writing: qmd update 2>/dev/null || true

Print: Report written: workspace/reports/{co}-strategy-review.md

Then present same AskUserQuestion as quick mode.

Rules

• Read-only — no board.json writes, no Linear API calls, no PRD modifications
• 15 prd.json reads max — prevent timeout on large boards
• No HTML — this command is text/markdown only
• No brainstorm.md — that is /brainstorm. This command ROUTES to it
• 1 AskUserQuestion max for clarification (Step 1). 1 for action routing (Step 5/6). Never batched together
• Skip archived projects — don't surface, don't count
• Staleness = story completion % — primary signal. updated_at is unreliable (mass-set dates). Say "0/8 stories complete" not "inactive for 30 days"
• Graceful on missing data — no prd_path → skip story count, show "no PRD". No objectives → skip OKR sections. No KRs → flag as "needs KRs"
• Company isolation — scope all reads to companies/{co}/. Never mix company data
• Deep mode writes exactly 1 file — workspace/reports/{co}-strategy-review.md
• Do NOT use TodoWrite or EnterPlanMode
