measure-okr-grader — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited measure-okr-grader (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

An OKR Cycle Review is a backward-looking artifact that closes the loop on a completed OKR set. It scores each KR against its baseline and target, separates committed from aspirational interpretation, surfaces what evidence does and does not support, names what the team learned, and prepares input for next-cycle drafting. Done well, a cycle review protects the integrity of the OKR operating system by refusing to dress up missed commitments as aspirational stretch, refusing to celebrate effort over outcome, and refusing to let scoring carry weight it cannot bear.
This skill is an evidence interpreter, not an arithmetic engine. Its job is to read final KR values, compare them against the original OKR set's intent, and produce a review that names the learning honestly. It enforces the empirical scoring conventions drawn from Doerr (Measure What Matters), Wodtke (Radical Focus), Castro (committed vs aspirational interpretation), Grove (High Output Management), and the OKR community's accumulated practice on misuse failure modes. It pairs with foundation-okr-writer (which produced the OKR set being scored) and hands off the learnings produced here to the iterate skills that consume them.
foundation-okr-writeriterate-retrospectivemeasure-experiment-resultsfoundation-stakeholder-updatefoundation-okr-writer firstWhen asked to score completed OKRs, follow these steps:
Check inputs: original OKR set, cycle dates, final KR values (or interim values for partial-close), baselines, targets, evidence sources, and OKR types (committed | aspirational | learning | operational_health | compliance_or_safety). If a value is missing, mark it explicitly (not-yet-observable, not-instrumented, not-supplied); never fabricate. Refuse to grade KRs whose original definitions are missing entirely.
The OKR type is one of committed | aspirational | learning | operational_health | compliance_or_safety (the five values produced by foundation-okr-writer). The indicator class is one of leading | lagging | guardrail | health | evidence_generation. Carry both forward from the original OKR set, or assign defaults if the original set did not specify. The OKR type determines the scoring convention: aspirational uses the 0.6 to 0.7 sweet spot; committed targets 1.0; compliance_or_safety is binary; operational_health is pass | fail | drift-within-tolerance against a threshold band; learning grades by validated or invalidated rather than by score. The indicator class adds independent rules that apply on top of the type's scoring (see Step 3).
Score each KR using the convention for its OKR type, then apply the indicator-class rules on top; see the Scoring Rules section below for the full per-type convention table and the guardrail rule (do not restate them here). For each score, state the calculation or rationale and the evidence confidence (high | medium | low | unknown).
Avoid naive averaging when one KR is a guardrail, compliance threshold, or learning KR. Produce a qualitative read of the objective alongside any rough numeric average. State explicitly what the score does and does not mean.
For each KR, name the evidence's reliability and any caveats (instrumentation gaps, target shifts mid-cycle, cohort definition changes, measurement window mismatches, sample-size limitations). Recommend fixes for next cycle's measurement plan.
For each initiative the team ran, name which KR it was expected to move, whether it shipped, what its apparent contribution was, and whether the evidence supports continuing, retiring, or reworking it. Use Castro's "initiatives are bets, not commitments" framing. Separate ship-status from KR-impact; an initiative that shipped on time but did not move its KR is not a partial win.
Capture validated assumptions, invalidated assumptions, surprises, and decision implications. Distinguish between learnings about the customer or product (carry forward), learnings about team process (hand to iterate-retrospective), and learnings about measurement (hand to measure-instrumentation-spec or measure-dashboard-requirements).
For each objective: continue, revise, retire, or escalate. Suggest candidate next-cycle OKRs or open questions for foundation-okr-writer. Hand-off measurement gaps to measure-dashboard-requirements or measure-instrumentation-spec. Hand-off assumption tests to define-hypothesis. Hand-off team-process work to iterate-retrospective. Hand-off organizational memory to iterate-lessons-log. Hand-off next-cycle drafting to foundation-okr-writer.
Make explicit any places the score could mislead a reader: forced numeric scores on KRs that are not yet observable, confounded initiative results, stakeholder framings that under-state evidence, single-cycle results that need a second cycle of confirmation.
The artifact is a review document, not the canonical OKR system. Include a source_of_truth field pointing to the original OKR tracker.
Remove all skill instruction commentary from the final artifact. The final output should be reader-facing.
These rules are non-negotiable. The skill enforces them in every grading run.

The convention follows the OKR type, not the team's preference at grading time. OKR type and indicator class are independent dimensions; type controls scoring, indicator class adds reporting rules.
