Plan a VP or CPO 30-60-90 day diagnostic onboarding path. Use when entering a new executive product role and avoiding premature change.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Purpose Structure the first 90 days of a VP or CPO transition as a diagnostic process, not an execution sprint. The single most common failure in senior product leadership transitions is acting before understanding — changing structures, replacing people, or announcing strategy before building the evidence base that makes those decisions defensible. This playbook runs in three phases: **Diagnose** (Month 1), **Validate** (Month 2), **Act with Evidence** (Month 3). Each phase builds on the last. Skipping phases doesn't accelerate results — it guarantees expensive reversals. This is not a 100-day plan for impressing your new boss. It's a diagnostic protocol for making durable decisions. ## Key Concepts ### The Consultant Mindset Enter every new VP/CPO role as if you're an external consultant hired to assess the organization — before you're the person responsible for changing it. What this means in practice: - **Observe before diagnosing.** Don't form opinions in the first week based on first impressions. - **Ask questions before making declarations.** "Help me understand how this works" is more powerful than "here's what we're going to do differently." …

How to install
mdr add the-utopia-studio/skills/executive-onboarding-playbook@sha256:fe414548becbaea7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.73fec06, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
