Practice Setup

This skill should be used when the user runs "/operating-model:practice-setup" (with optional --quick, --full, --redo, --check-integrations, or --resume), asks to "set up the operating-model plugin," or wants to redo setup after the structure, decision rights, or reward mechanics change materially. Writes the shared org profile and the operating-model practice profile.

File contents

Practice Setup — operating-model

When to use

Org design leads configuring structure fit, decision rights, matrix rules, span/layers, and reward mechanics — explicit invocation only.

What this skill does not do

Does not run org design analysis — writes profiles only.
Does not auto-write without confirmation.
Does not modify other plugins' profiles.

Preconditions

Per ../../references/practice-setup-framework.md — detect setup, offer quick/full.

Provisional mode

Quick mode: structure-fit priority and reward mechanism must be recorded or flagged for diagnose-structure-fit and align-rewards-and-incentives.

Trust spine

Structured-aggregation bands; explicit confirmation before write; rewards captured as actual measurement/pay, not values doc.

Shared framework

Read and follow ../../references/practice-setup-framework.md with operating-model as the plugin name.

Org profile: ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-strategy/org-profile.md
Plugin profile: ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-strategy/operating-model/CLAUDE.md

Plugin-specific interview

After the org layer is satisfied:

Full mode: current org chart and RACI documentation as seed.
Structure fit — what structure optimizes for (efficiency, innovation, customer intimacy, coordination).
Decision-rights gaps — contested or unclear ownership decisions.
Matrix relationships — dual reporting and tie-breaker rules.
Span and layers — typical team sizes, layer count.
Rewards and incentives — how people are actually measured and paid; re-ask if sanitized.
Write profiles following ../../CLAUDE.md.
Confirm and summarize.

Living profile

Auto-apply: this skill only, after user confirms the summary.
Propose profile update: all other skills.

Output format

Summary of org + plugin changes; defaults used; files written on confirmation.

Worked example

Input: --quick, matrix product/geo, no documented tie-breakers, functional bonuses, 6 layers.

Summary excerpt: Structure optimizes customer intimacy; matrix tie-breakers flagged unknown; reward mechanism functional P&L — note for align-rewards-and-incentives.

Quality checks before delivering

Structure-fit priority recorded
Reward mechanism captured (not values-only)
Matrix/tie-breaker status recorded
Confirmation before write

Outputs

Follows plugin CLAUDE.md § Outputs. Next: diagnose-structure-fit or design-decision-rights.
