Add a working vision document

[microsoftnorman]

Summary

Add a root-level VISION.md that describes the project's working vision for Spec Kit and agentic software development.

Notes

The document should be clear that it is a working vision maintained by the Spec Kit maintainers. It should not be framed as a roadmap, release schedule, guarantee, obligation, or commitment. It should also state that the content can change, be replaced, or be removed at any time.

Suggested docs integration

Reflect the root-level vision document in the docs navigation so it is discoverable from the documentation site.

Report (summarized)

The report requests adding a root-level VISION.md file describing the project's working vision for Spec Kit and agentic software development. It also asks that the document be reflected in the docs navigation. No error, failure, or unexpected behavior is described.

Symptom

Reproduction

Not applicable — no defect to reproduce.

Suspected Code Paths

Not applicable — no failing code path identified.

Root Cause Hypothesis

There is no bug. This is a documentation/feature request to add a new VISION.md file and link it from the docs navigation. Confidence: high.

Proposed Remediation

Not applicable for a bug assessment. This request should be handled as a feature/docs issue, not a bug fix. If the maintainers accept it, the work would involve:

1. Creating VISION.md at the repository root.
2. Updating docs navigation (e.g., mkdocs.yml or equivalent) to include the new file.

Files likely to change (if accepted as a docs feature):

• VISION.md (new file)
• Docs navigation config (e.g., mkdocs.yml or docs/ index)

Tests to add or update: Not applicable for a documentation-only change.

Risks & Considerations

• None from a bug perspective; this is not a defect.
