# OpenPlanr Operate

Skill family: Operate.

Run one operating review across 7 executive lenses and get a board report with decisions, actions, risks, and gaps.

Run a focused operating review across seven executive lenses and produce a decision and action brief. Use for periodic product or company-level leadership review.

## Run it

- Claude Code: `/operate`. If /operate runs another command, use /planr:operate.
- Codex: `$operate`. With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:operate.
- Cursor: `@planr-operate`. Cursor applies the planr-operate rule when you mention it in chat.

## Use it to

- Run an executive operating review across product, technology, growth, operations, and strategy
- Produce a decision and action brief for the product or company

## Not for

- Review only a code diff
- Implement the resulting actions

## Example prompt

Claude Code:

```text
/operate activation, runway, and delivery risk this month
```

If /operate runs another command, use /planr:operate.

Codex:

```text
$operate activation, runway, and delivery risk this month
```

With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:operate.

Cursor:

```text
@planr-operate activation, runway, and delivery risk this month
```

Cursor applies the planr-operate rule when you mention it in chat.

## Output

`.planr/operate/<date>-<slug>/board-report.md`:

```text
> **Contract:** operate-review-quality-contract@2.0.0

## Scope
## Executive summary
## Decision queue
## Action plan
## Risks and dissent
## Decision-changing gaps
## Review coverage
## Issues
```

Operate writes one shared brief, then runs 5 advisor lenses: strategy and finance, technology and delivery risk, product and activation, growth and market, and operations and customer health. A challenger tests the claims that could change a decision, and a chair turns the notes into one decision queue and action plan.

Each review gets its own folder, and a new review never overwrites an earlier one. The board report holds at most 5 decisions, 7 actions, and 5 decision-changing gaps. See [Track delivery and run operating reviews](https://openplanr.dev/docs/guides/operate.md).
