Pick a single North Star metric for a product. Weighs candidates across behavioral (MAU, sessions), value-delivered (messages sent, orders completed), and financial (ARR, revenue), forcing the comparison most teams skip — explainability, adoption + retention coverage, lead/lag, gameability. Use when a PM is defining a North Star, debating between MAU/DAU vs. value/revenue, or revisiting an existing one. Pushes back on jumping to a sophisticated composite or to revenue too early. Different from pm-metrics-critic, which reviews whole dashboards; this skill picks the one number.

From the source SKILL.md

Helps a PM pick one North Star metric. Most teams over-rotate in one of two directions: (a) defaulting to MAU/DAU without checking whether activity actually tracks the strategic bet, or (b) reaching for a sophisticated metric (value delivered, revenue, custom composite) that nobody in the org can explain. The skill forces the comparison and lands on a single defensible number.
