5 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Decision Rights Matrix
Use this workflow when recurring cross-functional stalls, overlapping ownership, hidden approvals, slow vetoes, passive resistance, or accountability without authority require explicit final-say, required-input, veto, SLA, escalation, and review rules.
Output specification
Return a decision rights system with decision_inventory, actual_path_evidence, final_say, required_input, veto_scope_and_sla, execution_and_escalation, decision_cards, and review_measures.
Govern Org Process and Cadence
Use this workflow when processes, approvals, recurring forums, dashboards, planning cycles, escalations, or decision logs have accumulated, apply uniformly, reward compliance over outcomes, lack change authority, or no longer improve risk, quality, decisions, or flow.
Output specification
Return an org process and cadence design with inventory_and_jobs, flow_and_cost, proportionality, ownership_and_expiry, forum_design, removals_and_controls, and pilot_and_review.
Handoff Friction Map
Use this workflow when routine work crosses too many teams, a shared service blocks many initiatives, embedded roles have two bosses, information travels up to come back down, or current team boundaries no longer fit scale, work identity, authority, and interface economics.
Output specification
Return a handoff and topology design with workflow_map, friction_measures, unit_fit, mechanism, topology_options, target_interfaces, and pilot_evidence.
Org Design Diagnosis
Use this workflow when an org chart, reorganization proposal, or recurring execution problem must be tested against how decisions, information, work, queues, incentives, informal power, escalation, and rework actually operate.
Output specification
Return an organizational design diagnosis with case_sample, decision_information_handoff_queue_maps, formal_actual_gaps, incentives, informal_power, operating_measures, and ranked_design_findings.
Role Clarity Redesign
Use this workflow when an organizational diagnosis has identified a high-cost structural mechanism and leaders need a politically feasible, human-aware redesign wave spanning units, roles, decision rights, incentives, interfaces, cadence, transition, and measurable stabilization.
Output specification
Return an organizational redesign plan with priority_mechanism, design_options, target_operating_model, roles_rights_interfaces, second_order_map, human_transition, migration, and stabilization_measures.
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
