fix(skill): restructure product-strategist with layered architecture (#55) (#104)

Browse Source 
Addresses benchmark feedback (60/100 → target 82+):

SKILL.md restructured (~377 lines):
- Added table of contents for navigation
- Added 7-step workflow: Strategic Planning Session
- Added input/output examples showing actual tool output
- Added configuration options documentation
- Removed flat architecture (moved frameworks to references)

NEW: references/ folder structure:
- okr_framework.md (~400 lines): OKR methodology, cascade model,
  writing guidelines, alignment scoring, common pitfalls
- strategy_types.md (~450 lines): Detailed breakdown of all 5 strategies
  (growth, retention, revenue, innovation, operational) with objectives,
  key results, and team examples
- examples/sample_growth_okrs.json: Complete sample output

Script improvements (okr_cascade_generator.py):
- Made teams configurable via --teams flag (was hardcoded)
- Made contribution percentage configurable via --contribution flag (was 30%)
- Added argparse for proper CLI interface
- Removed marketing language ("world-class", "best-in-class", "pioneering")
- Added --json flag for integration with OKR tools
- Added --metrics flag for custom input metrics

Expected score improvement:
- Extract to references/ folder: +8 points (PDA)
- Add workflow steps: +5 points (Ease of Use)
- Make teams/contribution configurable: +4 points (Utility)
- Replace marketing language: +2 points (Writing Style)
- Add sample examples: +3 points (Utility)
Total: +22 points (60 → 82+)

Resolves #55

## Quick Start
### Generate OKRs for Your Team
```bash
# Growth strategy with default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth
# Retention strategy with custom teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py retention --teams "Engineering,Design,Data"
# Revenue strategy with 40% product contribution
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py revenue --contribution 0.4
# Export as JSON for integration
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > okrs.json
```
---
## Core Capabilities
- OKR cascade generation and alignment
- Market and competitive analysis
- Product vision and strategy frameworks
- Team scaling and organizational design
- Metrics and KPI definition
## Key Scripts
| Capability | Description | Tool |
|------------|-------------|------|
| **OKR Cascade** | Generate aligned OKRs from company to team level | `okr_cascade_generator.py` |
| **Alignment Scoring** | Measure vertical and horizontal alignment | Built into generator |
| **Strategy Templates** | 5 pre-built strategy types | Growth, Retention, Revenue, Innovation, Operational |
| **Team Configuration** | Customize for your org structure | `--teams` flag |
---
## Workflow: Strategic Planning Session
A step-by-step guide for running a quarterly strategic planning session.
### Step 1: Define Strategic Focus
Choose the primary strategy type based on company priorities:
| Strategy | When to Use |
|----------|-------------|
| **Growth** | Scaling user base, market expansion |
| **Retention** | Reducing churn, improving LTV |
| **Revenue** | Increasing ARPU, new monetization |
| **Innovation** | Market differentiation, new capabilities |
| **Operational** | Improving efficiency, scaling operations |
See `references/strategy_types.md` for detailed guidance on each strategy.
### Step 2: Gather Input Metrics
Collect current state metrics to inform OKR targets:
```bash
# Example metrics JSON
{
"current": 100000, # Current MAU
"target": 150000, # Target MAU
"current_nps": 40, # Current NPS
"target_nps": 60 # Target NPS
}
```
### Step 3: Configure Team Structure
Define the teams that will receive cascaded OKRs:
```bash
# Default teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth
# Custom teams for your organization
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --teams "Core,Platform,Mobile,AI"
```
### Step 4: Generate OKR Cascade
Run the generator to create aligned OKRs:
```bash
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --contribution 0.3
```
### Step 5: Review Alignment Scores
Check the alignment scores in the output:
| Score | Target | Action |
|-------|--------|--------|
| Vertical Alignment | >90% | Ensure all objectives link to parent |
| Horizontal Alignment | >75% | Check for team coordination |
| Coverage | >80% | Validate all company OKRs are addressed |
| Balance | >80% | Redistribute if one team is overloaded |
| **Overall** | **>80%** | Good alignment; <60% needs restructuring |
### Step 6: Refine and Validate
Before finalizing:
- [ ] Review generated objectives with stakeholders
- [ ] Adjust team assignments based on capacity
- [ ] Validate contribution percentages are realistic
- [ ] Ensure no conflicting objectives across teams
- [ ] Set up tracking cadence (bi-weekly check-ins)
### Step 7: Export and Track
Export OKRs for your tracking system:
```bash
# JSON for tools like Lattice, Ally, Workboard
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth --json > q1_okrs.json
```
---
## OKR Cascade Generator
### okr_cascade_generator.py
Automatically cascades company OKRs down to product and team levels with alignment tracking.
**Usage**: `python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py [strategy]`
- Strategies: growth, retention, revenue, innovation, operational
- Generates company → product → team OKR cascade
- Calculates alignment scores
- Tracks contribution percentages
### Usage
```bash
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py [strategy] [options]
```
**Strategies:**
- `growth` - User acquisition and market expansion
- `retention` - Customer value and churn reduction
- `revenue` - Revenue growth and monetization
- `innovation` - Product differentiation and leadership
- `operational` - Efficiency and organizational excellence
### Configuration Options
| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--teams`, `-t` | Comma-separated team names | Growth,Platform,Mobile,Data |
| `--contribution`, `-c` | Product contribution to company OKRs (0-1) | 0.3 (30%) |
| `--json`, `-j` | Output as JSON instead of dashboard | False |
| `--metrics`, `-m` | Metrics as JSON string | Sample metrics |
**Examples:**
```bash
# Custom teams
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py retention \
--teams "Engineering,Design,Data,Growth"
# Higher product contribution
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py revenue --contribution 0.4
# Full customization
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py innovation \
--teams "Core,Platform,ML" \
--contribution 0.5 \
--json
```

## Best Practices
### OKR Cascade
- Limit to 3-5 objectives per level
- Each objective should have 3-5 key results
- Key results must be measurable with current and target values
- Validate parent-child relationships before finalizing
### Alignment Scoring
- Target >80% overall alignment
- Investigate any score below 60%
- Balance scores ensure no team is overloaded
- Horizontal alignment prevents conflicting goals
### Team Configuration
- Configure teams to match your actual org structure
- Adjust contribution percentages based on team size
- Platform/Infrastructure teams often support all objectives
- Specialized teams (ML, Data) may only support relevant objectives

# OKR Cascade Framework
A practical guide to Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and how to cascade them across organizational levels.

---
## What Are OKRs
**Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)** are a goal-setting framework that connects organizational strategy to measurable outcomes.
### Components
| Component | Definition | Characteristics |
|-----------|------------|-----------------|
| **Objective** | What you want to achieve | Qualitative, inspirational, time-bound |
| **Key Result** | How you measure progress | Quantitative, specific, measurable |
### OKR Formula
```
Objective: [Inspirational goal statement]
├── KR1: [Metric] from [current] to [target] by [date]
├── KR2: [Metric] from [current] to [target] by [date]
└── KR3: [Metric] from [current] to [target] by [date]
```
### Example
```
Objective: Become the go-to solution for enterprise customers
KR1: Increase enterprise ARR from $5M to $8M
KR2: Improve enterprise NPS from 35 to 50
KR3: Reduce enterprise onboarding time from 30 days to 14 days
```
---
## The Cascade Model
OKRs cascade from company strategy down to individual teams, ensuring alignment at every level.
### Cascade Structure
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ COMPANY LEVEL │
│ Strategic objectives set by leadership │
│ Owned by: CEO, Executive Team │
└───────────────┬─────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PRODUCT LEVEL │
│ How product org contributes to company │
│ Owned by: Head of Product, CPO │
└───────────────┬─────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TEAM LEVEL │
│ Specific initiatives and deliverables │
│ Owned by: Product Managers, Tech Leads │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Contribution Model
Each level contributes a percentage to the level above:
| Level | Typical Contribution | Range |
|-------|---------------------|-------|
| Product → Company | 30% | 20-50% |
| Team → Product | 25% per team | 15-35% |
**Note:** Contribution percentages should be calibrated based on:
- Number of teams
- Relative team size
- Strategic importance of initiatives
### Alignment Types
| Alignment | Description | Goal |
|-----------|-------------|------|
| **Vertical** | Each level supports the level above | >90% of objectives linked |
| **Horizontal** | Teams coordinate on shared objectives | No conflicting goals |
| **Temporal** | Quarterly OKRs support annual goals | Clear progression |
---
## Writing Effective Objectives
### The 3 Cs of Objectives
| Criterion | Description | Example |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| **Clear** | Unambiguous intent | "Improve customer onboarding" not "Make things better" |
| **Compelling** | Inspires action | "Delight enterprise customers" not "Serve enterprise" |
| **Challenging** | Stretches capabilities | Achievable but requires effort |
### Objective Templates by Strategy
**Growth Strategy:**
```
- Accelerate user acquisition in [segment]
- Expand market presence in [region/vertical]
- Build sustainable acquisition channels
```
**Retention Strategy:**
```
- Create lasting value for [user segment]
- Improve product experience for [use case]
- Maximize customer lifetime value
```

### Objective Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Better Alternative |
|--------------|---------|-------------------|
| "Increase revenue" | Too vague | "Grow enterprise ARR to $10M" |
| "Be the best" | Not measurable | "Achieve #1 NPS in category" |
| "Fix bugs" | Too tactical | "Improve platform reliability" |
| "Launch feature X" | Output, not outcome | "Improve [metric] through [capability]" |
---
## Defining Key Results
### Key Result Anatomy
```
[Verb] [metric] from [current baseline] to [target] by [deadline]
```
### Key Result Types
| Type | Characteristics | When to Use |
|------|-----------------|-------------|
| **Metric-based** | Track a number | Most common, highly measurable |
| **Milestone-based** | Track completion | For binary deliverables |
| **Health-based** | Track stability | For maintenance objectives |
### Metric Categories
| Category | Examples |
|----------|----------|
| **Acquisition** | Signups, trials started, leads generated |
| **Activation** | Onboarding completion, first value moment |
| **Retention** | D7/D30 retention, churn rate, repeat usage |
| **Revenue** | ARR, ARPU, conversion rate, LTV |
| **Engagement** | DAU/MAU, session duration, actions per session |
| **Satisfaction** | NPS, CSAT, support tickets |
| **Efficiency** | Cycle time, automation rate, cost per unit |
### Key Result Scoring
| Score | Status | Description |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| 0.0-0.3 | Red | Significant gap, needs intervention |
| 0.4-0.6 | Yellow | Partial progress, on watch |
| 0.7-0.9 | Green | Strong progress, on track |
| 1.0 | Complete | Target achieved |
**Note:** Hitting 0.7 is considered success for stretch goals. Consistently hitting 1.0 suggests targets aren't ambitious enough.
---
## Alignment Scoring
The OKR cascade generator calculates alignment scores across four dimensions:
### Scoring Dimensions
| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures |
|-----------|--------|------------------|
| **Vertical Alignment** | 40% | % of objectives with parent links |
| **Horizontal Alignment** | 20% | Cross-team coordination on shared goals |
| **Coverage** | 20% | % of company KRs addressed by product |
| **Balance** | 20% | Even distribution of work across teams |
### Alignment Score Interpretation
| Score | Grade | Interpretation |
|-------|-------|----------------|
| 90-100% | A | Excellent alignment, well-cascaded |
| 80-89% | B | Good alignment, minor gaps |
| 70-79% | C | Adequate, needs attention |
| 60-69% | D | Poor alignment, significant gaps |
| <60% | F | Misaligned, requires restructuring |
### Target Benchmarks
| Metric | Target | Red Flag |
|--------|--------|----------|
| Vertical alignment | >90% | <70% |
| Horizontal alignment | >75% | <50% |
| Coverage | >80% | <60% |
| Balance | >80% | <60% |
| Overall | >80% | <65% |
---
## Common Pitfalls
### OKR Anti-Patterns
| Pitfall | Symptom | Fix |
|---------|---------|-----|
| **Too many OKRs** | 10+ objectives per level | Limit to 3-5 objectives |
| **Sandbagging** | Always hit 100% | Set stretch targets (0.7 = success) |
| **Task lists** | KRs are tasks, not outcomes | Focus on measurable impact |
| **Set and forget** | No mid-quarter reviews | Check-ins every 2 weeks |
| **Cascade disconnect** | Team OKRs don't link up | Validate parent relationships |
| **Metric gaming** | Optimizing for KR, not intent | Balance with health metrics |
### Warning Signs
- All teams have identical objectives (lack of specialization)
- No team owns a critical company objective (gap in coverage)
- One team owns everything (unrealistic load)
- Objectives change weekly (lack of commitment)
- KRs are activities, not outcomes (wrong focus)
---
## OKR Cadence
### Quarterly Rhythm
| Week | Activity |
|------|----------|
| **Week -2** | Leadership sets company OKRs draft |
| **Week -1** | Product and team OKR drafting |
| **Week 0** | OKR finalization and alignment review |
| **Week 2** | First check-in, adjust if needed |
| **Week 6** | Mid-quarter review |
| **Week 10** | Pre-quarter reflection |
| **Week 12** | Quarter close, scoring, learnings |
### Check-in Format
```
Weekly/Bi-weekly Status Update:
1. Confidence level: [Red/Yellow/Green]
2. Progress since last check-in: [specific updates]
3. Blockers: [what's in the way]
4. Asks: [what help is needed]
5. Forecast: [expected end-of-quarter score]
```
### Annual Alignment
Quarterly OKRs should ladder up to annual goals:
```
Annual Goal: Become a $100M ARR business
Q1: Build enterprise sales motion (ARR: $25M → $32M)
Q2: Expand into APAC region (ARR: $32M → $45M)
Q3: Launch self-serve enterprise tier (ARR: $45M → $65M)
Q4: Scale and optimize (ARR: $65M → $100M)
```
---
