What is kpi-tree-builder?

A planning tool that breaks a main business metric into the smaller measures and actions that influence it.

Use it to decompose a North Star metric into leading indicators and check whether the relationships between them make sense.

It replaces vague strategy diagrams with a traceable view of what drives a result and who owns each part.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00051	$0.01082
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00433
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00216
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00108

Security

Grade A, and why

kpi-tree-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

KPI Tree Builder

When to use

Decompose a North Star into MECE drivers and leading indicators — math or causal chain must work, not decorative strategy diagrams.

What this skill does not do

Does not build spreadsheets — route to /performance:tracker-builder.
Does not invent North Star definition — locks definition first or marks provisional.
Does not set OKR targets — route to /okr:set-targets.

Preconditions

Input	If missing
Org + performance profiles	Tag `[PROVISIONAL]`; bounce to practice-setup
North Star metric name	Ask; halt decomposition until supplied
Relationship type (multiplicative/additive/causal)	Ask once

Provisional mode

[PROVISIONAL] — no predefined North Star from profile; generic categories without house codes.

Trust spine

Confidence bands (structured-aggregation):
- High: North Star locked; 3–5 MECE drivers; indicators with tight definitions and sources.
- Medium: Some INPUT NEEDED sources; double-counting flagged.
- Low: North Star definition ambiguous — halt decomposition.
Failure modes:
- Strategic advice vs. support: Tree is draft for analytics leadership review.
- Client confidentiality: Metric definitions may be sensitive — CONFIDENTIAL header.
- Accountability gap: Every indicator has owner or INPUT NEEDED.
- Analytical Rigor: MECE drivers; double-counting and lagging-only branches flagged.
- Incentive Gaming: Rejects decorative trees dressed as analysis.
Escalation triggers: Math doesn't decompose — switch to causal chain explicitly or flag gap.

Workflow

Step 1: Orient

Read ## KPI taxonomy from performance profile. Confirm North Star, relationship type, audience, purpose, evidence pack.

Step 2: Definition lock

Confirm North Star formula, window, population, source, owner before decomposing.

Step 3: MECE driver decomposition

3–5 drivers that multiply, sum, or causally determine North Star.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kpi-tree-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository daddia/claude-for-strategy (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,082 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

Test-driven development, from unit to end-to-end tests. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration or end-to-end tests (Playwright, Cypress). Don't use to backfill tests on existing code (/refactor) or diagnose an unknown bug (/debug).
