What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to act as a strategy consultant that checks whether a company's goals (OKRs) cascade down cleanly from leadership to teams and individuals. The agent can run a structured diagnosis: whether the strategy is stated clearly enough, which team goals have no parent company goal, which goals conflict with each other, which departments work in silos, and where leadership's message gets distorted. It can then suggest realignment steps such as cross-functional reviews and quarterly checks. An included Python script can read a JSON file of company and team OKRs and report orphan goals, conflicts and coverage gaps.

Great for

  • Operations or strategy leads who want a structured review of how company OKRs flow down to teams
  • Founders or executives preparing a quarterly planning cycle
  • Students or teams learning how OKR cascades work in practice

Skip it if

  • Replacing real leadership judgment on strategy, since the checker only compares goal text and structure in the JSON it is given
  • Organizations with sensitive OKR data that should not be processed through an AI agent or uploaded to a third-party tool without a review

Try asking

  • “Check whether our team OKRs for Q3 connect to the company objectives, using this OKR JSON file”
  • “Run a strategy articulation test and help me design the five-person survey”
  • “Find conflicting goals between Sales and Customer Success in our current plan”
  • “Draft a realignment workshop agenda for our department leads”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent a real OKR JSON file (use the --sample flag to see the format) so the checker produces concrete findings rather than generic advice.
  • Treat the alignment score and conflict flags as prompts for discussion, not verdicts; the script works from the text you provide.
  • Pair the diagnosis with the playbook's quarterly cadence so alignment checks happen repeatedly, not once.
