metrics-tree

metrics-tree is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Waddling-Penguin/mogkit. It costs 2 tokens per session (1,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A metrics tree breaks a broad product goal into measurable parts. It shows the main metric, its defining equation, the input metrics that compose it, and earlier signals that may change before the final result.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining what a goal measures, showing which inputs affect it, choosing the first metric to focus on, and identifying what to track sooner than the final outcome.
Why use it?
It turns vague goals such as improving activation or retention into a measurement structure without inventing targets or industry benchmarks. The product manager or data team still supplies the actual numbers.

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

metrics-tree 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 9d 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

A PM has been handed (or has set) a vague goal: "increase activation", "improve retention", "grow revenue". Before they can plan against it, they need to know what the goal actually measures, what inputs move it, and what they can observe sooner than the lagging outcome. This skill produces that structure.

It does NOT recommend targets, benchmarks, or "industry-standard" numbers. It will not say "good activation is 30%." Those numbers are situational; inventing them lets the PM plan against a fake target. The skill maps the structure of the goal and tells the PM what to measure. The PM (or the data team) supplies the numbers.

Procedure

  1. Read the PM's stated goal. If it is two or more goals stuffed into one sentence, split them and ask the PM to pick one before continuing.
  2. Define the top metric. State it as a single measurable quantity and write its defining equation. If the goal admits more than one plausible top metric (e.g. "activation" could be % of signups completing setup, or % reaching first value), name them, pick one as the primary, and note the others as competing definitions the PM should resolve.
  3. Decompose the top metric into its input metrics — the multiplicands or addends in its equation. Each input must be something instrumentable, not a vibe.
  4. For each input metric, name 1–2 leading indicators — earlier signals that predict movement in the input. Leading indicators are observable on a shorter time horizon than the input itself.
  5. List instrumentation gaps: every metric in the tree the PM probably cannot measure today without new tracking. Mark each "you must measure this before you can act on it."
  6. Identify the single metric most worth moving first. Justify it in one short paragraph: why it has the highest expected leverage on the top metric given what the tree shows. If the tree is too thin to support that pick honestly, say so and name what would need to be known to choose.
  7. Emit the output contract. Do not emit target numbers, benchmarks, or comparisons to other companies.

metrics-tree is a skill published in the GitHub repository Waddling-Penguin/mogkit (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 1,056 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
