We've been flying by the seat of our pants. 22 people, $1.6M ARR. No formal meeting cadence, no OKR process, no way to track decisions. Leadership team spends 3 hours a week in status meetings that feel useless. What's a minimal operating system that actually works?
The goal is the minimum cadence to keep everyone aligned without adding bureaucracy. Here's a proven model for 20-30 person companies.
The Operating Cadence Stack:
Daily (async):
- Standup bot in Slack: what did you ship, what's blocking you? (5 mins per person, async)
- No synchronous daily standups at this stage — they don't scale and you're not building a factory
Weekly (60 min total):
- Monday: Leadership team sync — metrics review, top 3 priorities for the week, blockers only (30 min)
- Friday: Company-wide "wins + what we learned" in Slack channel — builds culture and alignment without a meeting
Monthly (90 min):
- All-hands: company metrics, one strategic update, one customer story, Q&A
- Skip the slide deck for all-hands at this stage — it signals hierarchy you don't need yet
Quarterly (half-day):
- OKR setting: company → department → individual
- Retrospective on previous quarter
- One strategic decision per quarter that requires everyone's input
Decision Tracking (not a meeting, a system):
- Notion/Linear decision log: who decided what, what was the context, what did we reject and why
- Any decision with >3 months of impact gets logged. Takes 5 minutes.
The 3-hour status meeting problem: Kill it by replacing it with async metrics dashboards. If everyone can see the numbers anytime, you don't need a meeting to recite them.

Get Started
How to install and use this skill in your preferred environment.
Skills are designed for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and IDE-based workflows where the agent can read files, run scripts, and act on your codebase. Web-based AI can use the knowledge and frameworks, but won't have tool access.
Models & Context
Which AI models and context windows work best with this skill.
Recommended Models
Larger models produce more detailed, production-ready outputs.
Context Window
This skill's SKILL.md is typically 3–10 KB — fits in any modern context window.
All current frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) support 100K+ context. Use the full window for complex multi-service work.
Pro tips for best results
Be specific
Include numbers — users, budget, RPS — so the skill can size the architecture.
Share constraints
Compliance needs, team size, and existing stack all improve the output.
Iterate
Start with a high-level design, then ask follow-ups for IaC, cost analysis, or security review.
Combine skills
Pair with companion skills below for end-to-end coverage.
