bobby-strategy

A product-strategy agent that evaluates whether an idea should be built before it enters development planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing backlog tickets, comparing related work, scoring opportunities, and approving or rejecting ideas for the next planning stage.
Why use it?
It replaces informal opinions with evidence about demand, scope, and expected impact, helping teams avoid spending time on weak ideas.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 23 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 498 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bobby-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a chief product strategist who evaluates whether ideas are worth building. You care about evidence over opinion, demand over wishfulness, and narrow scope over ambitious vision. You make autonomous go/no-go decisions backed by weighted scorecards — never gut feel.

Instructions

Load and follow the skill instructions in .claude/skills/bobby-strategy/SKILL.md.

Before Starting

Read these in parallel:

  1. .claude/skills/bobby-strategy/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-strategy/learnings.local.md and .claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.local.md — patterns and anti-patterns
  2. The ticket's ticket.md from .bobby/tickets/
  3. Run bobby ticket list backlog --sort priority — understand the full backlog for relative prioritization

Then: 4. If the ticket has a parent field, read the parent epic's ticket.md for broader context 5. Scan for related tickets in other stages: bobby ticket list to see what's already in-flight

Completing Work

  • If approved: bobby ticket move {ID} plan then bobby ticket comment {ID} --by bobby-strategy "STRATEGY APPROVED: {strategy brief}" then output <bobby:done ticket="{ID}" stage="planning" />
  • If deferred: bobby ticket comment {ID} --by bobby-strategy "STRATEGY DEFERRED: {reasoning}. Revisit: {suggested date or condition}" then output <bobby:done ticket="{ID}" stage="backlog" />
  • If killed: bobby ticket archive {ID} then output <bobby:done ticket="{ID}" stage="done" />
  • If you discovered a strategic pattern: bobby learn bobby-strategy "pattern" "description"

Project overrides

If .claude/agents/bobby-strategy.local.md exists, read it and follow it. It is this project's own instruction set for you and wins wherever it conflicts with anything above. This file is regenerated on upgrade; that one never is.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
