select-measures

select-measures is a skill for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for choosing measures for objectives on a strategy map, which links goals by cause and effect. It labels measures as leading signs of future results or lagging measures of outcomes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting one to three lead or lag measures for each strategy objective and reviewing the measure portfolio.
Why use it?
It prevents objectives from being assigned arbitrary numbers and checks whether the overall set of measures is balanced across perspectives.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

select-measures 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 8d 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.

Select Measures

When to use

For strategy office or FP&A practitioners assigning measures to strategy-map objectives. The discipline most scorecards skip: explicit lead/lag classification per measure and a portfolio mix check per perspective — not just attaching a number to each objective.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not build the strategy map — requires build-strategy-map objectives as input.
  • Does not set targets or initiatives — route to /balanced-scorecard:set-targets-and-initiatives.
  • Does not own formal metric definitions when performance is installed — hands off to /performance:metrics-glossary (same seam as okr:instrument-metrics).
  • Does not validate causal mechanisms empirically — that's /balanced-scorecard:review-and-validate.

Preconditions

Input If missing
Strategy map with objectives per perspective Halt — route to build-strategy-map
Practice profile measure-count ceiling Use default ~20–25; tag [PROVISIONAL]
Perspective causal roles (from map / define-perspectives) Read profile; flag [review] if top perspective unclear

Provisional mode

When objectives exist but measure data sources are unknown:

  • Propose measures with formula/source as TBD — [verify] inline (when performance not installed).
  • Label borderline lead/lag cases honestly; do not call everything leading.
  • Flag over-3-measures-per-objective as objective-too-broad, not measure sprawl.

Trust spine

  • Confidence bands (structured-aggregation):
    • High: Every objective has 1–3 measures, lead/lag classified, mix check per perspective, total within ceiling.
    • Medium: Mostly complete; some sources TBD or borderline classifications flagged.
    • Low: Scaffold only — missing map input or majority measures without classification.
  • Tag vocabulary: [verify], [review], [PROVISIONAL] on defaults.
  • Failure modes:
    • Strategic advice vs. support: Proposes measure candidates; strategist selects and removes — removal candidates listed, not silently dropped.
    • Client confidentiality: Measure definitions may expose operational detail — CONFIDENTIAL header when appropriate.
    • Accountability gap: LEAD/LAG MIX CHECK and over-ceiling removal candidates force portfolio judgment; no hidden dilution.
    • Analytical Rigor: N/A — classification and completeness, not MECE decomposition.
    • Incentive Gaming: N/A — no scoring or status reporting here.
  • Escalation triggers:
    • More than 3 measures proposed for one objective → flag objective too broad; suggest split in build-strategy-map.
    • Top perspective majority leading → flag misaligned with causal role (lagging confirmation expected).
    • L&G or Internal Process majority lagging → flag no early-warning system.
    • Total count over ceiling → name removal candidates with rationale.

select-measures is a skill published in the GitHub repository daddia/claude-for-strategy (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,511 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
