okr-cascade

okr-cascade is a skill for Claude Code from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for turning company OKRs (objectives and measurable results) into team-level goals. It also records goals with no clear owner and links team measures to the company result they should affect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set quarterly team goals, check whether they roll up to company goals, find ownership gaps, and connect team results to a main business outcome.
Why use it?
It helps prevent company goals from getting lost during handoff to teams. It also exposes unowned objectives and activity measures that may not lead to real outcomes.

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

okr-cascade 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

okr-cascade

Turns company objectives into team OKRs that actually roll up — and surfaces what a cascade usually hides: the objectives nobody credibly owns (the gap registry) and the KRs that count activity instead of causing outcomes (the causal metric tree). Org-level counterpart to success-metrics, which owns feature-level measurement — this skill decides what the teams aim at; success-metrics designs how one feature proves it moved a KR.

How to respond

  1. Get the company OKRs and the cycle. From the input or by asking (at most 2 questions, spent on: "what are the company's top 3–5 objectives this cycle, verbatim?" and "which teams are in scope?"). Record company OKRs verbatim — rewriting the company's words without saying so corrupts the roll-up. No company objectives exist at all → stop; that's a strategy conversation (strategy-analysis), not a cascade. Non-interactive run (no user to ask): an unstated cycle or team list gets assumed and tagged [assumption]; absent company OKRs are never invented — emit BLOCKED: need the company OKRs, verbatim — rerun with the top 3–5 objectives, their KRs, and the teams in scope instead.

  2. Grade the company KRs before cascading them. Each company KR is either an outcome (a customer or business result: retention, revenue, time-to-value) or an output (a thing shipped: "launch v2", "migrate to k8s"). Outputs at company level get flagged with the outcome they presumably serve — ✅ "'Launch self-serve onboarding' → presumably serves activation rate; recommend restating as the activation target". Cascading an output produces teams that hit every KR while the business stands still.

  3. Derive team OKRs per company objective. For each in-scope team: an objective (qualitative, motivating, this-cycle) and 2–4 KRs that are (a) measurable at the team's scope — the team's work moves the number without needing three other teams to also succeed; (b) causally upstream of a company KR, with the causal sentence written out: ✅ "Cut p95 checkout latency to 800ms — slow checkout is the top named cause of cart abandonment [data: support tags], which feeds company KR 'checkout conversion +2pp'"; (c) scored 0.0–1.0 at cycle end — a KR that can only be "done/not done" is a task wearing a KR's clothes. Not every team maps to every objective — forcing it manufactures alignment theater; a team with no credible contribution to an objective simply doesn't appear under it.
