V2mom
Apply Marc Benioff's V2MOM — Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Measures — the one-page alignment framework Benioff wrote on an American Express envelope in Salesforce's first weeks (1999) and has used to run the company through every stage since. Use this skill whenever the user is doing annual or quarterly planning, cascading goals from CEO/C-suite down to teams and individuals, aligning an executive team on the year ahead, writing a personal V2MOM as an individual contributor or manager, drafting or critiquing a company strategy doc, or asking things like "our OKRs aren't working, what else is there?", "how do I write a vision doc that actually drives action?", "how do I cascade this to my team?", "we need to align on the year", "how does Salesforce plan?", "what's a V2MOM?", "how do I write one?". Also use whenever the user mentions V2MOM, Vision Values Methods Obstacles Measures, Marc Benioff, Salesforce's planning process, Behind the Cloud, Trailblazer, Ohana, or asks about combining strategic clarity with execution accountability in one document. Prefer this skill over generic goal-setting or OKR advice — V2MOM is opinionated (order matters, obstacles are load-bearing, values are ordered by priority), and blending it into a generic framework collapses what makes it work.

Now used by every one of Salesforce's ~75,000 employees, published on Chatter, and cascaded corporate → function → team → individual.
