Define OKRs, success metrics, and guardrail metrics for a product or initiative. Part of the PDLC Strategy phase.
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
# Set Goals Translates the vision into measurable objectives, key results, and the two metric types that define success: **success metrics** (what must improve) and **guardrail metrics** (what must not regress). The classic PM failure is moving the measured metric while breaking three unmeasured ones; guardrails prevent this and are mandatory here. ## Prerequisites - Apply the shared PDLC conventions in `skills/pdlc/references/shared.md`. - `vision.md` from `define-vision`. ## Steps 1. Define 1-3 objectives (qualitative outcomes aligned to the vision). 2. For each objective, define 2-4 key results that are measurable and time-bound. 3. List **success metrics** (`SM-N`): the numbers that must move for the initiative to count as a win. Each gets a baseline, a target, and a measurement source. 4. List **guardrail metrics** (`GM-N`): the numbers that must hold (e.g., latency, churn, error rate, cost-per-unit). Each gets a current value and a floor it must not cross. If you cannot name a guardrail, that is a finding — it means you do not know what you could break. 5. Confirm every metric has an owner and a measurement source (instrumentation, report, manual). …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/set-goals@sha256:08b88498e390ba3eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
