radical-focus

radical-focus is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marcos-sponton/frameworks-as-skills. It costs 234 tokens per session (2,707 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A team method for using OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results, as a weekly planning and review cycle. It focuses on one team objective at a time and includes a health measure to discourage gaming the targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or critique team OKRs, plan quarterly work, run weekly commitments and reviews, and diagnose why an OKR cycle is not working.
Why use it?
It addresses OKRs that become paperwork or are reviewed only at the end of a quarter, making progress and problems visible during the work.

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

radical-focus 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Radical Focus

Christina Wodtke's operational method for making OKRs actually work — from Radical Focus (1st ed 2016, 2nd expanded ed 2021), The Team That Managed Itself (2019), her ~15 years of teaching OKRs at Stanford (CS177 Human-Centered Product Management), Elegant Hack blog + Medium (essays through 2026), and podcast appearances including Lenny Rachitsky (2023) and Melissa Perri's Product Thinking (2023).

This skill helps your agent think in Wodtke's method, not just recite OKRs. It's opinionated because Wodtke is opinionated: OKRs without the weekly cadence are a goal fantasy; OKRs at the individual level are performance-review theater; OKRs without a Health Metric are gameable. Doing OKRs isn't hard; doing them Wodtke's way is.

When this skill activates

Use this skill when the user is:

  • Writing or rewriting OKRs (their own team's, or someone else's).
  • Running quarterly planning and drafting Objectives / Key Results.
  • Diagnosing why OKRs "aren't working" — usually a cadence problem, not an OKR problem.
  • Setting up a first-time OKR cycle for a team.
  • Debating individual OKRs vs. team OKRs.
  • Wondering how OKRs relate to KPIs, roadmaps, or health metrics.
  • Preparing for or debriefing a Monday commitments / Friday celebrations meeting.
  • Considering "code red" — pausing OKR work to protect a health metric.
  • Grading OKRs at end of quarter and figuring out what to learn from the 0.6 vs 0.8.
  • Coaching a manager who was told to "just do OKRs" and has no framework beyond that.

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • The user is asking for strategy (what to compete on, where to play). OKRs translate strategy into team work; they don't replace it. Redirect to playing-to-win or good-strategy-bad-strategy.
  • The user needs a planning system for solo work with no team. Wodtke's method is team-first. Point them at simpler tools.
  • The user is pre-team, pre-product, pre-anything. Wodtke: "If you can't do OKRs because you're remote / no one has control over their product / everyone is dependent on other teams — STOP and fix those issues first."
  • The user just wants a summary of the book. Give them the book link.
