SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing fair, evidence-grounded manager performance reviews is time-consuming and error-prone: managers must synthesize self reviews, 1:1 notes, objectives, and calibration context while matching a specific voice and form structure. This Skill produces paste-ready review fields that stay traceable to evidence and consistent with Mutt's review conventions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-grounded assessment: Reads self reviews, objectives, 1:1 notes, stakeholder feedback, and role expectations, distinguishing reported outcomes from inferences and keeping post-period events out of the rating. - Competency matrix alignment: Inspects the current Mutt competency matrix to assess the employee's exact track and step (e.g., IC4, M3) against rubric expectations. - Mid-year and annual cadence handling: Adjusts depth and scope for lightweight mid-year checkpoints versus comprehensive annual reviews, and assesses promotion readiness independently from performance ratings. - Voice-matched Spanish drafting: Applies the manager's established candid Argentine-Spanish voice from references/voice.md to manager-authored fields, with separate public feedback and private calibration comments. - Use Case: A manager needs to complete a mid-year review for a direct report. Provide the self review, 1:1 notes, and objectives, and receive paste-ready General Feedback, Orientation Score, Promotion label, and a private calibration comment. ## Quick Start Draft a mid-year performance review for my direct report using the attached self review, 1:1 notes, and objectives, following the Mutt form fields.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an evidence-based performance review for a direct report?

Gather the self review, period objectives, 1:1 notes, and stakeholder feedback, then anchor the rating in outcomes the employee actually owned. The review should lead with an overall judgment supported by a few concrete examples rather than listing every project.

How to assess promotion readiness separately from performance rating?

Evaluate promotion readiness based on sustained next-level work, expanded scope, competency alignment, and business need, independent of the performance rating. A Meets rating can support promotion with sustained next-level evidence, while Exceeds alone does not imply readiness.

What is the difference between a mid-year and annual performance review?

A mid-year review is a lightweight checkpoint with an indicative score, focusing on first-half progress and one or two priorities for the second half. The annual review provides a comprehensive assessment of sustained performance, development, and next-step readiness.

Can performance review feedback include health or personal circumstances?

Sensitive personal information should be included only when the user wants it considered and it is appropriate for the field's audience, without inferring diagnoses or unsupported causal links. Workload or ramp-up context can be noted without erasing underlying expectations.

What should go in the private calibration comment versus public feedback?

Private comments should add new calibration context such as confidence in independent problem-solving, key-person risk, role-fit concerns, or missing evidence. They must not merely summarize the employee-visible feedback or leak into it.
