SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Quarterly planning often loses the reasoning behind objectives, and OKRs drift from the actual strategy. This Skill turns a North Star document, previous quarter's OKRs, and recent retros into a structured, measurable OKR markdown file that stays versioned in your repo. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Strategy-grounded drafting: Reads NORTH-STAR.md, prior OKR files, and retros to draft at most 3 Objectives with 2-3 measurable Key Results each, including confidence scores and explicit North Star linkage. - Governed workflow: Shows the draft in chat before saving, enforces frontmatter and status rules (not-started on creation), and asks which items would hurt to drop to test focus. - Use Case: At the start of Q3, ask the assistant to draft OKRs; it reviews last quarter's hit/miss rates, drafts OKR-2026-Q3.md with measurable KRs and a "deliberately NOT doing" section, then hands off to PRD or Epic drafting. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to draft OKRs for the next quarter from your North Star, for example: "Draft OKRs for 2026-Q3 based on our North Star and last quarter's results."

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft quarterly OKRs from a North Star document?

Invoke the draft-okrs command and specify the quarter slug such as 2026-Q3. The skill reads NORTH-STAR.md, the previous quarter's OKRs, and recent retros, then drafts up to 3 Objectives with measurable Key Results for your review before saving.

What makes a good Key Result when writing OKRs?

A Key Result must be a measurable number or binary state, such as reaching 100 users by a date, not a vague phrase like improve X. Each KR also carries a confidence score, ideally between 50 and 70 percent.

What happens if the North Star file is missing?

If NORTH-STAR.md is absent, the skill asks you to paste your North Star text inline before drafting. Missing previous OKRs are treated as a first OKR set rather than an error.

Can the OKR file be marked ready or in-progress immediately?

No. New OKR files are always saved with status not-started. Founder approval in a follow-up session is required before the status changes to ready or in-progress.

What are the limitations of this OKR drafting approach?

It depends on the kit's directory layout under _00-Project-Management and its templates; without them it scaffolds from the source prompt and notes the gap. It drafts only and does not execute or track KRs during the quarter.
