-description: Draft a VISION.md for this repo by filling a graph-derived scaffold
----
-
-# Vision Drafting
-
-Author a VISION.md that captures this repo's invariants — what must always be
-true about its behavior. The file becomes a machine-readable contract that
-Pharaoh's linter, PR Guard, and MCP tools reason against on every change.
-
-## Why this matters (explain this to the user before drafting)
-
-A VISION.md is leverage, not paperwork. Once the repo has one:
-
-- **PR Guard** checks every pull request against its assertions. Changes that
-  contradict a MUST-bullet surface as a Check on the PR — the team sees drift
-  from intent at the exact moment it happens, not months later.
-- **`get_vision_gaps`** becomes useful. Pharaoh cross-references every spec
-  against the function graph and surfaces both sides of the drift: specs
-  without implementing code (dead intent) and complex functions with no spec
-  (invisible invariants).
-- **`get_vision_docs`** returns spec-to-code traceability. Each assertion
-  shows the functions that implement it — a direct map from intent → code.
-- **CI enforces it.** Every MUST bullet pairs with a TEST reference. The
-  linter fails when an assertion has no enforcing test. No more wishlist
-  specs that drift over time.
-
-Without a VISION.md, the tools above return empty. The graph sees code; it
-doesn't see intent. The file is the bridge.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- The repo has no `docs/VISION.md` yet and the user wants Pharaoh's full
-  value — PR Guard, vision-gaps, spec traceability all depend on the file.
-- `get_vision_docs` returned the "No VISION.md yet" onboarding response.
-- The user said "draft a vision doc", "add a VISION.md", or "scaffold vision".
-- A user is new to Pharaoh and asking what they should do next.
-
-## The flow — collaborative, not solo
-
-This is a short working session with the user. Do not solo-fill the scaffold
-— the graph can tell you the shape of the code, but only the user knows what
-must not break. Ask questions, propose, let them steer.
-
-1. **Get the scaffold.** Call `get_vision_docs` with the repo name. When no
-   vision doc exists, the tool returns a deterministic scaffold plus the
-   agent directive. Use that as your starting structure. Never invent a
-   scaffold from scratch; the archetypes encode Pharaoh's framework shape
-   and drift is surfaced by the framework-linter.
-
-2. **Interview the user.** Before filling anything, ask: *"What are the 3-5
-   things about this repo that must not break, no matter what?"* Their
-   answer drives the assertions. If they can't articulate it, probe with
-   follow-ups — "what would a P0 incident look like here?", "what would
-   wake you up on a weekend?". The goal is to extract real invariants, not
-   to generate plausible-sounding ones from graph evidence.
-
-3. **Ground each domain in real code.** For every `## Domain` the scaffold
-   rendered, call `get_module_context` for the module(s) that back that
-   domain. For example, an "Authentication and Authorization" domain →
-   `get_module_context` on the auth module + any session/token modules.
-   Read the exported functions, endpoints, env vars, and DB access.
-
-4. **Replace TODOs with WHAT statements.**
-   - Every `### TODO:` heading becomes a real assertion title. Describe the
-     invariant in plain language — "Sessions expire after 30 minutes of
-     inactivity", not "checkSession() returns null after timeout".
-   - Every `- MUST: TODO —` bullet becomes a WHAT statement. Banned
-     content: function names, file paths, class names, identifiers.
-   - Add a `- TEST: path/to/test.ts` line for every assertion. If the test
-     doesn't exist yet, write it before committing. A MUST without a TEST
-     is not an invariant, it's a wish.
-
-5. **Trim irrelevant domains.** If a rendered `## Domain` doesn't match
-   anything real in this repo, delete that whole section. The scaffold is a
-   starting point, not a contract to honor exhaustively.
-
-6. **Write the file.** Save to `docs/VISION.md` in the repo. Remove the
-   `<!-- scaffold-generated -->` marker and the `<!-- AGENT DIRECTIVE -->`
-   block once every TODO is resolved.
-
-7. **Wire it into CLAUDE.md.** This is non-negotiable — it's what turns the
-   vision doc from a file on disk into a contract future sessions respect.
-   If `CLAUDE.md` exists at the repo root, append (or edit) a section:
-
-   ```markdown
-   ## Vision docs
-
-   `docs/VISION.md` is this repo's architectural contract. Before any
-   non-trivial change, call `get_vision_docs` to read the relevant
-   assertions. After any large refactor, run `get_vision_gaps` to surface
-   drift between intent and implementation. When adding a new invariant,
-   open `docs/VISION.md`, add a `### assertion` under the right `##` domain,
-   and pair every `- MUST:` with a `- TEST:` referencing the enforcing test.
-
-   Never introduce code that would violate a MUST-bullet without first
-   updating `docs/VISION.md` (with the user's approval).
-   ```
-
-   If no `CLAUDE.md` exists, create a minimal one with the section above
-   plus any project-specific instructions you already have context for.
-
-8. **Verify.** Run `pharaoh vision lint --framework` (or instruct the user
-   to). Zero errors. Zero TODO warnings. Zero unresolved placeholders.
-
-## Hard rules
-
-- **No HOW in MUST bullets.** Banned: function names, file paths, camelCase
-  identifiers, backtick-wrapped code. The linter enforces this as a warning;
-  treat it as a hard rule.
-- **Every MUST needs a TEST.** The format-linter errors if a MUST bullet
-  has no matching TEST reference to an existing file.
-- **One MUST per line.** Don't pack multiple invariants into a single bullet.
-- **Max 10 prose lines per assertion.** Keep each `###` section tight.
-- **Mirror Pharaoh's canonical domains when they fit.** Rename only when the
-  user's project truly has a different shape. The framework-linter warns on
-  unrecognized domains so drift is visible.
-
-## What to avoid
-
-- **Do NOT** write VISION.md from scratch without calling `get_vision_docs`
-  first — you'll miss domains the graph detected and duplicate ones it
-  already included.
-- **Do NOT** carry forward the AGENT DIRECTIVE or scaffold-generated marker
-  into the committed file. Those are drafting aids, not document content.
-- **Do NOT** write speculative assertions ("sessions will expire someday").
-  Only assert what the code enforces today or what you'll commit a test for.
-- **Do NOT** use `pharaoh vision init` — that only drops the format guide,
-  not a graph-grounded scaffold. Always go through `get_vision_docs`.
-
-## Completion checklist
-
-- [ ] User was interviewed for their real invariants (not graph-guessed)
-- [ ] Every rendered `## Domain` either has ≥1 real assertion or was deleted
-- [ ] Every `### TODO:` heading replaced with a real title
-- [ ] Every `- MUST: TODO —` replaced with a WHAT statement
-- [ ] Every assertion has a `- TEST:` line pointing at an existing test file
-- [ ] Scaffold marker + AGENT DIRECTIVE block removed
-- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` updated (or created) with the Vision docs section
-- [ ] `pharaoh vision lint --framework` exits clean
-
-## After it ships — tell the user what they unlocked
-
-Once `docs/VISION.md` is committed, call out the new capabilities concretely:
-
-1. **Every future AI session reads it.** Because CLAUDE.md now references
-   `docs/VISION.md`, any agent working in this repo (Claude Code, Cursor,
-   anyone else connecting Pharaoh) will consult the file before touching
-   architecture. Continuity across sessions, across people, across tools.
-2. **`get_vision_docs`** now returns spec-to-code traceability per
-   assertion. The user can see which functions implement each invariant.
-3. **`get_vision_gaps`** surfaces drift. Unspecified complex functions
-   get flagged; specs with no implementing code get flagged for review
-   (either write the code or retire the spec).
-4. **Their next PR is checked.** PR Guard now evaluates touched code
-   against relevant assertions. First-time use often catches real drift.
-5. **`/pharaoh:plan`** will surface relevant assertions during reconnaissance.
-6. **`/pharaoh:review`** will flag PRs that touch code governed by a MUST.
-
-The bigger payoff: architectural invariants are now enforced in CI the same
-way unit tests enforce behavior. Intent and implementation stop drifting.
-
-## Ongoing maintenance — it's a living file
-
-VISION.md rots if it's not maintained. Part of your job in future sessions
-(even ones that aren't about vision directly) is to keep it current:
-
-- **When a MUST changes**, update VISION.md in the same PR as the code
-  change. Don't let the file lag — stale assertions are worse than none.
-- **When a new architectural decision lands**, add a new `###` assertion
-  under the right `##` domain with a pairing TEST. One assertion per
-  decision, not batches.
-- **When an assertion stops being load-bearing**, delete it. Retirement is
-  as important as addition.
-- **When `get_vision_gaps` shows >5 unimplemented specs**, the doc has
-  drifted into wishlist territory. Prune.
-- **Quarterly**: run `pharaoh vision lint --framework` and address warnings.

-   drift between intent and implementation. When adding a new invariant,
-   open `docs/VISION.md`, add a `### assertion` under the right `##` domain,
-   and pair every `- MUST:` with a `- TEST:` referencing the enforcing test.
-
-   Never introduce code that would violate a MUST-bullet without first
-   updating `docs/VISION.md` (with the user's approval).
-   ```
-
-   If no `CLAUDE.md` exists, create a minimal one with the section above
-   plus any project-specific instructions you already have context for.
-
-8. **Verify.** Run `pharaoh vision lint --framework` (or instruct the user
-   to). Zero errors. Zero TODO warnings. Zero unresolved placeholders.
-
-## Hard rules
-
-- **No HOW in MUST bullets.** Banned: function names, file paths, camelCase
-  identifiers, backtick-wrapped code. The linter enforces this as a warning;
-  treat it as a hard rule.
-- **Every MUST needs a TEST.** The format-linter errors if a MUST bullet
-  has no matching TEST reference to an existing file.
-- **One MUST per line.** Don't pack multiple invariants into a single bullet.
-- **Max 10 prose lines per assertion.** Keep each `###` section tight.
-- **Mirror Pharaoh's canonical domains when they fit.** Rename only when the
-  user's project truly has a different shape. The framework-linter warns on
-  unrecognized domains so drift is visible.
-
-## What to avoid
-
-- **Do NOT** write VISION.md from scratch without calling `get_vision_docs`
-  first — you'll miss domains the graph detected and duplicate ones it
-  already included.
-- **Do NOT** carry forward the AGENT DIRECTIVE or scaffold-generated marker
-  into the committed file. Those are drafting aids, not document content.
-- **Do NOT** write speculative assertions ("sessions will expire someday").
-  Only assert what the code enforces today or what you'll commit a test for.
-- **Do NOT** use `pharaoh vision init` — that only drops the format guide,
-  not a graph-grounded scaffold. Always go through `get_vision_docs`.
-
-## Completion checklist
-
-- [ ] User was interviewed for their real invariants (not graph-guessed)
-- [ ] Every rendered `## Domain` either has ≥1 real assertion or was deleted
-- [ ] Every `### TODO:` heading replaced with a real title
-- [ ] Every `- MUST: TODO —` replaced with a WHAT statement
-- [ ] Every assertion has a `- TEST:` line pointing at an existing test file
-- [ ] Scaffold marker + AGENT DIRECTIVE block removed
-- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` updated (or created) with the Vision docs section
-- [ ] `pharaoh vision lint --framework` exits clean
-
-## After it ships — tell the user what they unlocked
-
-Once `docs/VISION.md` is committed, call out the new capabilities concretely:
-
-1. **Every future AI session reads it.** Because CLAUDE.md now references
-   `docs/VISION.md`, any agent working in this repo (Claude Code, Cursor,
-   anyone else connecting Pharaoh) will consult the file before touching
-   architecture. Continuity across sessions, across people, across tools.
-2. **`get_vision_docs`** now returns spec-to-code traceability per
-   assertion. The user can see which functions implement each invariant.
-3. **`get_vision_gaps`** surfaces drift. Unspecified complex functions
-   get flagged; specs with no implementing code get flagged for review
-   (either write the code or retire the spec).
-4. **Their next PR is checked.** PR Guard now evaluates touched code
-   against relevant assertions. First-time use often catches real drift.
-5. **`/pharaoh:plan`** will surface relevant assertions during reconnaissance.
-6. **`/pharaoh:review`** will flag PRs that touch code governed by a MUST.
-
-The bigger payoff: architectural invariants are now enforced in CI the same
-way unit tests enforce behavior. Intent and implementation stop drifting.
-
-## Ongoing maintenance — it's a living file
-
-VISION.md rots if it's not maintained. Part of your job in future sessions
-(even ones that aren't about vision directly) is to keep it current:
-
-- **When a MUST changes**, update VISION.md in the same PR as the code
-  change. Don't let the file lag — stale assertions are worse than none.
-- **When a new architectural decision lands**, add a new `###` assertion
-  under the right `##` domain with a pairing TEST. One assertion per
-  decision, not batches.
-- **When an assertion stops being load-bearing**, delete it. Retirement is
-  as important as addition.
-- **When `get_vision_gaps` shows >5 unimplemented specs**, the doc has
-  drifted into wishlist territory. Prune.
-- **Quarterly**: run `pharaoh vision lint --framework` and address warnings.
