We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Strategy Connector

Help PMs map work items to strategic goals and OKRs. Ensures features, experiments, and initiatives are explicitly tied to organizational strategy and measurable outcomes.

When to Use

  • Before writing a PRD
  • Backlog prioritization
  • Quarterly or annual planning
  • Leadership presentations
  • When asked "how does this tie to strategy?"
  • Justifying resource allocation

Process / Template

1. Understand the Work Item

  • What is it? (feature, experiment, initiative)
  • Who is it for?
  • What problem does it solve?
  • What's the expected outcome?

2. Reference Strategic Context

  • Pull from knowledge/products/<product>/brief.md and strategy.md, then org knowledge/_template/strategy.md if needed
  • Identify: strategic pillars, OKRs, key metrics, target segments
  • Note: what is the organization optimizing for?

3. Map the Connection

For the work item, articulate:

Strategic Pillar

  • Which pillar or theme does this support?
  • How does it advance that pillar?

OKR / Goal

  • Which objective or key result does this contribute to?
  • What's the causal path? (this work → metric movement → OKR)

Segment / Persona

  • Which customer segment or persona does this serve?
  • Is this segment a strategic priority?

Metric Impact

  • What metric(s) will this move?
  • Direction and rough magnitude (if known)

4. Validate the Link

  • Is the connection explicit and defensible?
  • Could someone challenge it? How would you respond?
  • Are there stronger or weaker links to call out?

5. Document the Mapping

Narrative

  • 2–3 sentences: how this work advances strategy

Output

A Strategy Mapping that:

  • Explicitly connects the work item to strategy
  • Identifies the OKR or goal it supports
  • Clarifies segment and metric impact
  • Provides a defensible narrative for prioritization and planning

Reference: knowledge/products/<product>/strategy.md and knowledge/_template/strategy.md.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
