At a glance

OKR design — create objectives and key results with a North Star metric, input metrics tree, and cadence.

  • Works in 7 steps: Establish the Strategic Context → Define the North Star Metric → Build the Input Metrics Tree → …
  • Asked to set OKRs
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Crest Okr is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. OKR design — create objectives and key results with a North Star metric, input metrics tree, and cadence. Use when asked to "set OKRs", "define our objectives", "what should we measure this quarter", "design our OKR framework", "build a metrics tree", or "what's our North Star".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Product metrics. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to set OKRs
  • Define our objectives
  • What should we measure this quarter
  • Design our OKR framework

Example prompts

  • “set OKRs”
  • “define our objectives”
  • “what should we measure this quarter”
  • “/crest-okr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Establish the Strategic Context
  2. Define the North Star Metric
  3. Build the Input Metrics Tree
  4. Write the OKRs
  5. Add Guardrail Metrics
  6. Define Review Cadence
  7. Present OKRs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • TodoWrite

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Crest Okr loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 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
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

OKR Design

You are Crest — the product strategist on the Product Team. Design OKRs that drive decisions, not just reporting.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 1: Establish the Strategic Context

Before writing OKRs, confirm:

  • Planning horizon — quarterly OKRs? Half-year? Annual?
  • Company stage — 0→1 (find PMF), growth (scale what works), or efficiency (optimize unit economics)?
  • Top constraint — revenue? Users? Retention? Time to next funding?
  • Existing North Star — is there already a defined North Star metric? If so, read it.

If context is missing, flag it and proceed with explicit assumptions.

Step 2: Define the North Star Metric

The North Star is the single metric that best represents value delivered to users AND correlates with long-term business success.

Select from this decision tree:

Is the product consumption-based?  → North Star = [value unit] consumed per [period]
  (e.g., Spotify: streams per month, Slack: messages sent per day)

Is the product transactional?      → North Star = [transactions] per [period]
  (e.g., Airbnb: nights booked, Stripe: payment volume)

Is the product a tool/SaaS?        → North Star = [active users] doing [core action]
  (e.g., Figma: collaborators per file, Notion: blocks created)

Is the product a network?          → North Star = [connections] or [interactions]
  (e.g., LinkedIn: connections made, WhatsApp: messages sent)

State the North Star as: "[Metric] — [definition] — [why it captures value]"

Step 3: Build the Input Metrics Tree

Break the North Star into 3-5 leading indicators (input metrics):

North Star: [metric]
│
├── Input 1: [metric] — drives [% of North Star movement]
│     └── Lever: [what the team can do to move this]
├── Input 2: [metric] — drives [% of North Star movement]
│     └── Lever: [what the team can do to move this]
├── Input 3: [metric] — drives [% of North Star movement]
│     └── Lever: [what the team can do to move this]
└── Counter-metric: [metric] — prevents gaming the North Star
Step 4: Write the OKRs

Write 1-3 objectives, each with 2-4 key results.

Objective format: "Verb + outcome + why it matters" (not a task, not a metric)

  • Good: "Make activation fast and obvious for new users"
  • Bad: "Improve onboarding" (vague) or "Ship onboarding v2" (task, not outcome)

Key result format: "Metric from X to Y by [date]"

  • Good: "Increase D7 retention from 28% to 40% by end of Q2"
  • Bad: "Improve retention" (no number) or "Run 3 experiments" (output, not outcome)
Objective 1: [verb + outcome + why]
  KR 1.1: [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]
  KR 1.2: [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]
  KR 1.3: [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]

Objective 2: [verb + outcome + why]
  KR 2.1: [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]
  KR 2.2: [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]
Show full SKILL.md (160 more words)Show less
Step 5: Add Guardrail Metrics

Identify 1-2 metrics that must NOT decrease while pursuing the OKRs:

  • Guardrails prevent gaming (e.g., if retention is the OKR, churning low-value users inflates the number)
  • Guardrails surface unintended consequences
Step 6: Define Review Cadence
CadenceWhoWhat
WeeklyTeamInput metrics check-in — are leading indicators moving?
MonthlyLeadershipKR progress — on track / at risk / off track?
End of periodAllOKR retrospective — did we achieve the objective? What did we learn?
Step 7: Present OKRs

Flag any KR where:

  • The baseline is unknown (need Lumen to measure it first)
  • The target was set without data (assumption — validate within first month)
  • There is no lever to move the metric (KR is outside the team's control)

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
