OKR cascade toolkit for product leaders: generates aligned company-to-team OKRs from five strategy types and scores how well they line up.

  • Works in 5 steps: Define Strategic Focus → Gather Input Metrics → Configure Teams & Run Generator → …
  • Drafting quarterly OKRs that cascade from company to team level
  • SKILL.md covers Core Capabilities, Quick Start, Workflow: Quarterly Strategic… and OKR Cascade Generator, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

The centerpiece is scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py. It takes a strategy type (growth, retention, revenue, innovation or operational), input metrics such as current and target monthly active users, and an optional team list, and produces objectives that cascade from company level down to teams. It also scores alignment: vertical, horizontal, coverage, balance and an overall figure.

A quarterly planning workflow wraps it: choose the strategic focus, supply metrics as JSON, run the generator, then check the scores against targets such as above 90 percent vertical alignment and above 80 percent overall, with anything below 60 percent needing restructuring. A final checklist covers stakeholder review, team capacity, realistic contribution percentages, conflicting objectives and tracking cadence, and the output can be exported as JSON for OKR tools like Lattice, Ally or Workboard.

The description casts it more broadly as a Head of Product toolkit that also covers competitive landscape analysis, product vision documents and team scaling proposals. The bundled files are an OKR template, an OKR framework reference, strategy type notes and a sample growth OKR file, and the material shown details only the OKR tooling.

When your agent uses it

  • Drafting quarterly OKRs that cascade from company to team level
  • Choosing between growth, retention, revenue, innovation and operational strategy
  • Scoring whether team objectives line up with company goals
  • Exporting OKRs as JSON for a goal-tracking tool

Example prompts

  • “Generate growth OKRs for next quarter for the product, design and engineering teams.”
  • “We have 100000 monthly users and a target of 150000, so draft retention OKRs from that.”
  • “Check the alignment scores on our draft OKRs and tell me where coverage is weak.”

Requirements

  • Python, to run okr_cascade_generator.py

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Strategic Focus
  2. Gather Input Metrics
  3. Configure Teams & Run Generator
  4. Review Alignment Scores
  5. Refine, Validate, and Export

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Product Strategist loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Quick Start

bash
# Growth strategy with default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth

# Retention strategy with custom teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py retention --teams "Engineering,Design,Data"

# Revenue strategy with 40% product contribution
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py revenue --contribution 0.4

# Export as JSON for integration
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > okrs.json

Step 1: Define Strategic Focus

GrowthScaling user base, market expansion
RetentionReducing churn, improving LTV
RevenueIncreasing ARPU, new monetization
InnovationMarket differentiation, new capabilities
OperationalImproving efficiency, scaling operations

See references/strategy_types.md for detailed guidance.

Step 2: Gather Input Metrics
json
{
  "current": 100000,      // Current MAU
  "target": 150000,       // Target MAU
  "current_nps": 40,      // Current NPS
  "target_nps": 60        // Target NPS
}
Step 3: Configure Teams & Run Generator
bash
# Default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth

# Custom org structure with contribution percentage
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth \
  --teams "Core,Platform,Mobile,AI" \
  --contribution 0.3
Step 4: Review Alignment Scores
ScoreTargetAction if Below
Vertical Alignment>90%Ensure all objectives link to parent
Horizontal Alignment>75%Check for team coordination gaps
Coverage>80%Validate all company OKRs are addressed
Balance>80%Redistribute if one team is overloaded
Overall>80%<60% needs restructuring
Step 5: Refine, Validate, and Export

Before finalizing:

  • Review generated objectives with stakeholders
  • Adjust team assignments based on capacity
  • Validate contribution percentages are realistic
  • Ensure no conflicting objectives across teams
  • Set up tracking cadence (bi-weekly check-ins)
bash
# Export JSON for tools like Lattice, Ally, Workboard
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > q1_okrs.json

Best Practices

OKR Cascade
  • Limit to 3-5 objectives per level, each with 3-5 key results
  • Key results must be measurable with current and target values
  • Validate parent-child relationships before finalizing
Alignment Scoring
  • Target >80% overall alignment; investigate any score below 60%
  • Balance scores ensure no team is overloaded
  • Horizontal alignment prevents conflicting goals across teams
Team Configuration
  • Configure teams to match your actual org structure
  • Adjust contribution percentages based on team size
  • Platform/Infrastructure teams often support all objectives
  • Specialized teams (ML, Data) may only support relevant objectives
  • Senior PM (project-management/senior-pm/) — Portfolio management and risk analysis inform strategic planning
  • Competitive Teardown (product-team/competitive-teardown/) — Competitive intelligence feeds product strategy

Does Product Strategist access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Product Strategist safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
