What it does

Goals And Kpis is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Set social media goals and KPIs — measurable targets and north-star metrics that aren't vanity numbers. Use when someone wants to "set social media goals," "define our KPIs," "what should we be aiming for," "what's our north-star metric," "OKRs for social," or to turn vague ambitions ("grow our following," "go viral") into measurable targets. Builds a cascade: business goal - SMART objective - North Star KPI (one per channel by its win condition) - supporting metrics, with benchmark-set targets and action…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/goals-kpis-2026-reality.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Product metrics. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone wants to set social media goals
  • Define our KPIs
  • What should we be aiming for
  • Whats our north-star metric

Example prompts

  • “t vanity numbers. Use when someone wants to”
  • “define our KPIs,”
  • “what should we be aiming for,”
  • “/goals-and-kpis”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. brand-profile — positioning/audience.
  2. social-strategy — the business outcomes every goal must ladder up to.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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

    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

Goals And Kpis loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 226 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~226
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Set social media goals and KPIs — measurable targets and north-star metrics that aren't vanity numbers. Use when someone wants to "set social media goals," "define our KPIs," "what should we be aiming for," "what's our north-star metric," "OKRs for social," or to turn vague ambitions ("grow our following," "go viral") into measurable targets. Builds a cascade: business goal -> SMART objective -> North Star KPI (one per channel by its win condition) -> supporting metrics, with benchmark-set targets and action thresholds. Uses the NORTH framework. Reads brand-profile + social-strategy first. It SETS the targets; analytics-and-reporting MEASURES against them. Targets come from real benchmarks (never fabricated baselines), KPIs must be controllable and non-vanity, and guardrails prevent gaming. Distinct from analytics-and-reporting (measures) and social-strategy (the whole plan).

goals-and-kpis

The target-setting layer — turn business outcomes into a measurable cascade with one North Star per channel, benchmark-set targets, and action thresholds. This skill sets the win conditions; analytics-and-reporting measures against them.

The POV: goals, not wishes

"Grow our following," "go viral," "do better on Instagram" are wishes — unmeasurable, unowned, and disconnected from the business. Build a cascade instead: business goal → SMART objective → KPI → supporting metrics, with one North Star per channel tied to its real job, a target from your own benchmark (achievable yet ambitious), a 3–5 cap for focus, and thresholds that trigger action. A KPI must be controllable, non-vanity, and mapped to an outcome — and a well-set one (a follower target paired with an engagement floor) prevents gaming.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — positioning/audience.
  2. social-strategy — the business outcomes every goal must ladder up to.

The framework: NORTH

(Depth: references/the-north-framework.md.)

  • N — Name the business goal: anchor every social goal to a real outcome (awareness/leads/sales/ retention); if it doesn't ladder up, cut it.
  • O — One North Star per channel: the single win-condition metric (awareness → reach; consideration → CTR; conversion → CVR) + 1–2 supporting.
  • R — Render it SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound — a number + a deadline
    • a method.
  • T — Target from benchmarks: set the number from your baseline/comparable benchmarks (no data → a learning goal first); leading + lagging; only controllable KPIs.
  • H — Hold to 3–5 + set triggers: cap KPIs/objectives at 3–5; action thresholds ("if X holds but Y drops → do Z"); review weekly/monthly/quarterly; hand to analytics-and-reporting.

The reality (verify benchmarks quarterly)

The cascade, North-Star-per-channel, SMART, the funnel KPI map, the 3–5 rule, leading-vs-lagging + KPI-selection criteria, benchmark targets + thresholds, and review cadence: references/goals-kpis-2026-reality.md. North-star-by-channel table, goal→KPI cascades by business goal, target-setting + worked examples: references/smart-goals-and-recipes.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • Sets, doesn't measure — measuring progress is analytics-and-reporting (native analytics; WoopSocial has none). This skill defines targets/North Stars/thresholds, then hands off.
  • Targets from real benchmarks — no fabricated baselines; no data → a learning goal first; comparable benchmarks are provisional/flagged.
  • Controllable, non-vanity, outcome-mapped KPIs only. Pair growth with a quality guardrail — a well-set KPI prevents gaming (no follower-buying/pods).
  • Realistic, not hype — achievable yet ambitious; flag impossible asks. Miss → pivot tactics first, don't move the goalposts or fudge numbers. (Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

goals-and-kpis (this) = SET targets/North Star/thresholds · analytics-and-reporting = MEASURE against them · social-strategy = the whole plan (this is its goals/KPI layer) · experimentation = test tactics to move a KPI · competitor-analysis = benchmark context, not your own goals.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile, social-strategy. Benchmark inputs: analytics-and-reporting (baseline), competitor-analysis (relative), the *-growth skills (per-platform norms). Hands targets to: analytics-and-reporting (measurement), content-calendar/batch-content-plan (cadence), experimentation (tests), campaign-and-launch-planning (campaign KPIs). Per-channel North Stars draw on the per-platform growth skills. No publishing/tool surface — a planning skill.

Definition of done

A cascade per goal (business outcome → SMART objective with number+deadline+method → one North Star per channel + 1–2 supporting); targets set from real baselines/benchmarks (or a learning goal if none), achievable yet ambitious, with a quality guardrail; capped at 3–5 with action thresholds and a weekly/ monthly/quarterly review cadence; controllable, non-vanity, outcome-mapped KPIs; handed to analytics-and-reporting to measure; nothing fabricated, correctly distinguished from analytics-and-reporting, social-strategy, and experimentation.
