+# Marketing & Launch Strategy
+
+Positioning, messaging, channels, and content strategy for v0.2.0 launch.
+
+## Brand Identity
+
+**Logo:** Version 3 of Concept D (Bracket Style)
+- Minimalist bracket frame with "LS" monogram
+- Represents: Context window/boundary (specs must fit), code-like aesthetic
+- Works at all sizes (16px to full-size)
+- Color variants: Dark (#1a1a2e), Light (white), Accent (#00d9ff)
+- SVG format for scalability
+
+**Design Rationale:**
+- Brackets visually represent "bounded context" (Context Economy principle)
+- Minimal, technical aesthetic matches first-principles philosophy
+- LS monogram is simple and memorable
+- Scales perfectly from favicons to headers
+
+**Brand Assets Needed:**
+- [ ] Export logo as SVG, PNG (16px, 32px, 64px, 128px, 512px)
+- [ ] Create favicon (16x16, 32x32)
+- [ ] Update docs site with logo in header
+- [ ] Add logo to README.md
+- [ ] Create social media assets (Twitter card, OG image)
+- [ ] GitHub social preview image (1280x640)
+
+## Marketing Positioning
+
+**Tagline:** "First-Principles Spec-Driven Development for AI-powered teams"
+
+### Key Messages
+1. **First Principles Foundation** - Built on 5 immutable constraints (physics, biology, economics)
+2. **Operationalized Philosophy** - Tools that enforce principles, not just document them
+3. **AI-native** - Built for human + AI collaboration from the ground up
+4. **Practice what we preach** - Dogfooded extensively, specs demonstrate principles
+
+### Differentiation
+- **vs Traditional SDD**: We optimize for context windows and token costs (first principles, not convention)
+- **vs Agile**: We capture intent for AI execution (Bridge the Gap principle)
+- **vs "No docs"**: We document what matters (Signal-to-Noise principle)
+- **vs Heavyweight tools**: We stay lean by design (Context Economy principle)
+
+### Target Audience (Priority Order)
+1. Solo developers using Cursor/Copilot/Claude (need lightweight SDD)
+2. Small teams (2-5 devs) adopting AI pair programming
+3. Startups scaling from solo to team (Progressive Disclosure)
+4. Engineering teams frustrated with heavyweight SDD
+5. First-principles thinkers curious about principled design

+
+## Messaging Framework
+
+### Elevator Pitch (30 seconds)
+"LeanSpec is spec-driven development for AI-powered teams. We enforce first principles like Context Economy and Signal-to-Noise through tooling, not just documentation. Specs stay under 400 lines, fit in context windows, and work seamlessly with AI coding agents."
+
+### Problem Statement
+"Traditional documentation is either too heavyweight (loses signal in noise) or nonexistent (AI can't understand intent). LeanSpec finds the middle ground: minimal, structured specs optimized for both human and AI consumption."
+
+### Solution Overview
+"Five first principles guide every decision: Context Economy, Signal-to-Noise, Intent Over Implementation, Bridge the Gap, and Progressive Disclosure. We operationalize these through validation, complexity analysis, and pattern detection."
+
+### Call to Action
+"Install in 30 seconds: `npm install -g lean-spec`. Create your first spec in 5 minutes. Let the tooling enforce good practices."
+
+---
+
+## Community Building
+
+### GitHub Setup
+- [ ] Set up GitHub Discussions (needs repo settings access)
+- [ ] Create issue templates (bug, feature, question) in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`
+- [x] Enhanced CONTRIBUTING.md - ✅ EXISTS (needs review for first principles guidance)
+- [ ] Create CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
+- [ ] Set up GitHub Actions for community management
+
+### FAQ Content
+**"Why <400 lines?"**
+- Context windows (AI), working memory (humans), token costs (economics)
+
+**"Isn't this too restrictive?"**
+- Use sub-specs for complex features. Constraint breeds clarity.
+
+**"How is this different from Agile/Lean?"**
+- Optimized for AI execution, not just human communication
+
+**"Can I use custom fields?"**
+- Yes! Progressive Disclosure: add when you need them
+
+### Support Strategy
+- Respond to issues within 24 hours
+- Weekly community highlights in Discussions
+- Monthly office hours / AMA sessions
+- Recognize contributors in CHANGELOG
+
+---
+
+## Analytics & Tracking
+
+### Key Metrics
+- npm downloads (daily, weekly, monthly)
+- GitHub stars/forks
+- Documentation page views
+- MCP server usage (if trackable)
+- Community engagement (issues, PRs, discussions)

+# Demo Recording Guide - Quick Start
+
+## You Are Here
+
+✅ **Scripts complete** - Full AI-assisted demo script with timing and voiceover  
+📍 **Next step** - Record the actual demo video  
+🎯 **Goal** - Show LeanSpec's AI-native workflow (not just CLI)
+
+---
+
+## What's Ready
+
+### 1. Main Demo Script: `DEMO-AI-ASSISTED.md`
+- **Duration**: 3-5 minutes
+- **Format**: Split-screen (AI chat + terminal)
+- **6 scenes** with complete dialogue and timing
+- **Voiceover script** included
+- **Key moments** identified for post-production
+
+### 2. Recording Strategy
+**Show, don't tell**: AI creating/reading/managing specs through conversation
+
+**Core differentiator**: MCP integration = specs as semantic memory
+
+---
+
+## Recording Options
+
+### Option A: Full Production (Recommended)
+**What**: Split-screen recording with AI chat + terminal  
+**Tools**: OBS Studio (free) or Loom  
+**Time**: 2-3 hours (setup + recording + editing)  
+**Impact**: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maximum impact
+
+**Setup**:
+1. Install OBS Studio or open Loom
+2. Configure split layout (60% AI chat, 40% terminal)
+3. Prepare clean demo-project directory
+4. Test MCP integration works
+5. Practice script 2-3 times
+6. Record with voiceover or add later
+
+### Option B: Screen + Terminal Only (Simpler)
+**What**: Single screen showing terminal + editor, typed AI prompts  
+**Tools**: OBS Studio / QuickTime  
+**Time**: 1 hour  
+**Impact**: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but less "magic"
+
+**Setup**:
+1. Terminal + VS Code side-by-side
+2. Type AI prompts as comments or in text file
+3. Show commands AI would run via MCP
+4. Simulate the workflow manually
+
+### Option C: Slides + Narration (Fastest)
+**What**: Slides showing conversation + results  
+**Tools**: Google Slides / Keynote + Loom narration  
+**Time**: 30 minutes  
+**Impact**: ⭐⭐⭐ OK for initial version
+
+---
+
+## Immediate Next Steps (Choose Your Path)
+
+### Path 1: Record This Week (Option A)
+```bash
+# Day 1: Setup (30 min)
+- Install OBS Studio or sign up for Loom
+- Create fresh demo-project directory
+- Verify MCP integration works
+- Practice script once
+
+# Day 2: Record (2 hours)
+- Practice script 2-3 times
+- Record full walkthrough
+- Watch back, note issues
+- Re-record problem sections
+
+# Day 3: Edit (1-2 hours)
+- Trim dead space
+- Add captions/highlights
+- Add intro/outro
+- Export and upload to YouTube (unlisted)
+```
+
+### Path 2: Delegate/Postpone
+- **Delegate**: Share `DEMO-AI-ASSISTED.md` with someone to record
+- **Postpone**: Focus on other launch prep, revisit demos later
+
+---
+
+## Technical Checklist
+
+### Before Recording
+- [ ] Clean terminal (clear history, simple prompt: `user@machine:~/demo-project$`)
+- [ ] Fresh directory: `mkdir ~/demo-project && cd ~/demo-project`
+- [ ] MCP configured in Claude Desktop or GitHub Copilot
+- [ ] Test: Ask AI "list specs in this project" (should work via MCP)
+- [ ] VS Code with readable theme (high contrast)
+- [ ] Screen resolution: 1920x1080 minimum
+- [ ] Close distracting apps (notifications off)
+
+### During Recording
+- [ ] Slow, deliberate typing (150-200ms between characters)
+- [ ] Pause 2-3 seconds after each AI response
+- [ ] Keep cursor visible
+- [ ] Speak clearly if doing voiceover live
+- [ ] If you mess up, pause 5 seconds and restart that scene
+
+### After Recording
+- [ ] Watch full video for issues
+- [ ] Note timestamps for key moments
+- [ ] Add captions at key points
+- [ ] Add intro (0-5s): "LeanSpec + AI Demo"
+- [ ] Add outro (last 5s): "npm install lean-spec" + website
+
+---
+
+## Quick Test: Is MCP Working?
+
+```bash
+# Terminal
+cd ~/demo-project
+npm init -y
+npm install --save-dev lean-spec
+npx lean-spec init  # Choose minimal
+
+# AI Chat (Claude Desktop or Copilot)
+Ask: "What specs exist in this project?"
+
+Expected response:
+✅ AI uses MCP tool (you might see tool call in UI)
+✅ AI responds: "No specs exist yet. Would you like to create one?"
+
+If this works, you're ready to record!
+```
+
+---
+
+## Fallback Plan
+
+If MCP setup is complex or buggy:
+
+1. **Record terminal-only demo** showing CLI commands
+2. **Add narration**: "Imagine asking AI to do this..."
+3. **Show the RESULT**: "AI would create this spec via MCP"
+4. **Promise**: "Full MCP demo coming soon"
+
+This still shows the workflow, just less "magical".
+
+---
+
+## Questions to Resolve Before Recording
+
+1. **Which AI tool to use?**
+   - Claude Desktop (cleaner UI, easier to show MCP)
+   - GitHub Copilot (more users have it)
+   - **Recommendation**: Claude Desktop for demo purity
+
+2. **Live voiceover or post-production?**
+   - Live: Faster, more natural
+   - Post: More polished, easier to fix mistakes
+   - **Recommendation**: Live if comfortable, post otherwise
+
+3. **How much editing?**
+   - Minimal: Just trim start/end
+   - Moderate: Add captions, zoom on key moments
+   - Heavy: Animations, transitions, music
+   - **Recommendation**: Moderate (captions + zoom sufficient)
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+**Demo is successful if a viewer can:**
+- ✅ Understand that AI manages specs through conversation
+- ✅ See the value of semantic memory ("what did we decide?")
+- ✅ Recognize this is different from traditional CLI tools
+- ✅ Want to try it themselves
+
+**Demo has failed if:**
+- ❌ Looks like "just another CLI tool with AI wrapper"
+- ❌ MCP integration isn't clear or seems buggy
+- ❌ Too complex to follow
+- ❌ No clear "wow" moment
+
+---
+
+## Timeline Suggestion
+
+**Option 1: Full quality (1 week)**
+- Day 1: Setup and practice
+- Day 2: Record main video
+- Day 3: Edit and polish
+- Day 4: Create GIF excerpts
+- Day 5: Upload and embed
+
+**Option 2: Quick version (2-3 days)**
+- Day 1: Setup and record (Option B - terminal only)
+- Day 2: Quick edit, upload
+- Day 3: Create GIFs
+
+**Option 3: Defer to later phase**
+- Focus on Product Hunt text, social posts
+- Record demo after launch based on feedback
+- Use screenshots/terminal commands for now
+
+---
+
+## Where to Get Help
+
+**Recording issues:**
+- OBS Studio tutorials: YouTube "OBS screen recording setup"
+- Loom is simpler: Just click record
+
+**MCP setup issues:**
+- Check docs: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/
+- Test with: `npx lean-spec mcp` (should start server)
+- Claude Desktop config: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+**Script questions:**
+- Full script is in `DEMO-AI-ASSISTED.md`
+- Voiceover timing provided
+- Feel free to adapt/improvise
+
+---
+
+## Ready to Record?
+
+**If yes:**
+1. Read through `DEMO-AI-ASSISTED.md` completely
+2. Choose your recording tool (OBS / Loom / QuickTime)
+3. Set up demo-project directory
+4. Practice script once
+5. Hit record!
+
+**If not yet:**
+- What's blocking? (Technical setup? Time? Uncertainty?)
+- Can I help with setup, or should we defer?
+
+---
+
+**You've got this!** The hard part (scripting) is done. Recording is just execution.

+# Official Launch: v0.2.0
+
+> **Status**: ✅ Complete · **Priority**: Critical · **Created**: 2025-11-04 · **Tags**: release, launch, milestone, stability
+
+**Project**: lean-spec  
+**Team**: Core Development
+
+## Overview
+
+Launch LeanSpec v0.2.0 as the **official public release**, treating v0.1.0 as an alpha. This release establishes LeanSpec as production-ready for teams and solo developers.
+
+**Why 0.2.0, not 0.1.0?**
+- v0.1.0 = Alpha release for early validation
+- v0.2.0 = First production-ready, publicly marketed release
+- Allows us to ship critical fixes and polish before "official" launch
+- Semantic versioning: 0.2.0 signals stability improvements over 0.1.0
+
+**Launch Goals:**
+1. **Practice what we preach** - Demonstrate 5 first principles (spec 049) through implementation
+2. **Operationalize principles** - Ship tooling that prevents principle violations (validation, complexity checks)
+3. **Rock-solid stability** - Zero critical bugs, 100% test pass rate
+4. **Clear philosophy** - Users and AI agents understand "why" not just "what"
+5. **Strong launch momentum** - Marketing emphasizes first-principles thinking
+
+**Key Shift from Original Plan:**
+- Discovered first principles (spec 049) fundamentally reframes v0.2.0 priorities
+- Focus: Foundation & operationalization over feature accumulation
+- Defer major redesign work (spec 050) to v0.3.0 to keep release lean and principle-aligned
+
+## Design
+
+### Release Strategy
+
+**Three-Phase Rollout:**
+
+**Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1-2)**
+- Operationalize first principles through tooling and documentation
+- Fix all failing tests, complete spec 048 (complexity analysis)
+- Implement spec 051 (AGENTS.md, README updates)
+- Start spec 018 (basic validation: `--max-lines` check)
+
+**Phase 2: Operationalization (Week 3-4)**
+- Complete spec 018 (full validation with complexity checks)
+- Implement specs 024 (pattern-aware list) and 026 (init pattern selection)
+- Dogfood: Review and split any specs >400 lines
+- Beta testing with principle validation checklist
+
+**Phase 3: Launch Preparation (Week 5-6)**
+- Implement spec 044 (spec relationships clarity)
+- Complete spec 035 (live specs showcase) if ready
+- Marketing content emphasizing first-principles philosophy
+- Official v0.2.0 release
+
+**What Changed:**
+- Elevated principle operationalization (specs 051, 018) to Phase 1
+- Deferred major redesign (spec 050) to v0.3.0 (too large for v0.2.0)
+- Merged docs work: spec 037 absorbed into spec 051
+- Spec 034 (Copilot slash commands) moved to v0.3.0
+- Added dogfooding checkpoint: split large specs before launch
+
+### Version Positioning
+
+```
+v0.1.0 (Current)    → Alpha - Internal validation, early adopters
+v0.2.0 (This Spec)  → Official Launch - Public release, production-ready
+v0.3.0+             → Iterative improvements based on feedback
+v1.0.0 (Future)     → Feature-complete milestone with enterprise features

+
+## Notes
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+**v0.1.0 Retrospective:**
+- Successfully validated core concept
+- Proved MCP integration works
+- Dogfooded successfully (28 archived specs)
+- Identified rough edges and bugs
+
+**v0.2.0 Opportunity:**
+- Position as "official" first release
+- Fix known issues before wide adoption
+- Establish reputation for stability
+- Build early community momentum
+
+### Release Philosophy
+
+**"Ship lean, iterate fast"**
+- Focus on stability over features
+- Listen to early users
+- Rapid iteration based on feedback
+
+**Not Including in v0.2.0:**
+- PM integrations (defer to v0.3.0+)
+- GitHub Actions (defer to v0.3.0+)
+- VS Code extension (defer to v0.3.0+)
+
+**Why defer?** v0.2.0 = stability and core UX. Complex integrations add risk. Better to nail the basics first.
+
+### Success Definition
+
+**v0.2.0 is successful if:**
+1. All specs follow first principles (no specs >400 lines without sub-specs)
+2. Validation tooling shipped and working
+3. Philosophy is clear from docs
+4. Establishes LeanSpec as serious, stable tool
+5. Attracts 1,000+ early adopters who understand the philosophy
+6. Generates positive community sentiment around first-principles thinking
+7. Validates product-market fit for AI-powered dev teams
