# OKR Writer ## Overview OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a goal-setting framework that links an inspiring qualitative **Objective** ("what we want to achieve") to 2-5 quantitative **Key Results** ("how we measure progress"). This skill produces OKRs that are outcome-focused (changes in behavior, value, or state — not task lists), measurable (a number anyone can verify), and appropriately ambitious. Keywords: OKR, objective, key result, goal setting, KPI vs OKR, outcome vs output, stretch goal, quarterly planning, north star, measurable goals, scoring, grading. Use this skill to: draft new OKRs from a vague goal or strategy, rewrite weak/task-based OKRs into outcome-based ones, review and score a draft set, or cascade company OKRs to teams. ## Core Definitions - **Objective** — A memorable, qualitative, inspirational statement of WHAT you want to accomplish in the period. No numbers. Answers "where do we want to go?" - **Key Result** — A quantitative measure of HOW you'll know you got there. Has a metric, a baseline, and a target. Answers "how do we know we arrived?" - **Output** — Something you produce or do (ship a feature, run 3 campaigns). NOT a key result on its own. - **Outcome** — A change that results from outputs (activation rate rises from 40% to 55%). This is what good key results measure. - **Initiative / Task** — The work you do to move a key result. Tracked separately, never as the OKR itself. ## Workflow Follow these steps in order.
