# Product Vision Creation Design an aspirational future state that inspires teams and guides strategic decision-making. Help the user with product vision creation using insights from 22 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter. ## How to Help 1. **Define the Destination** - Guide the user in articulating a lofty yet realistic future state grounded in a potent user problem. 2. **Craft the Narrative** - Help translate technical goals into an emotional metaphor or a strategic narrative that resonates with human psychology. 3. **Visualize the Outcome** - Advise on creating visual prototypes or storyboards that make the abstract vision concrete for stakeholders. 4. **Connect to Execution** - Facilitate the process of working backward from the ideal future to create a tactical multi-year roadmap. ## Core Principles ### Use Emotional Metaphors Ami Vora: "If we all agree that the feeling of something should be, I'm sitting in Dolores Park with my friends on a sunny Saturday, then people will just naturally build something that feels more consistent." Establish a shared emotional metaphor to guide decentralized teams toward consistent decision making without constant oversight

What does the product-vision skill do?
Help users define a compelling, qualitative description of a future state that aligns decentralized teams and motivates long-term innovation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add RefoundAI/lenny-skills --skill product-vision --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From RefoundAI/lenny-skills, a repository with 1,215 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
