The DORA Metrics Reviewer is a skill that evaluates software delivery performance using the four metrics defined by the DevOps Research and Assessment framework: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Restore (MTTR). Given raw team data as input, the skill classifies the team into a delivery tier — Elite, High, Medium, or Low — based on DORA research standards.
Beyond classification, the skill identifies which single metric is acting as the primary bottleneck on delivery velocity, explains how outlier metrics affect overall delivery stability, and produces a concrete 90-day execution plan. That plan includes specific technical practices such as implementing feature flags or adopting trunk-based development, ordered according to a hierarchical logic — for example, addressing Lead Time before targeting Deployment Frequency improvements.
The output is structured as a standardized report intended for stakeholder review, making it suitable for engineering leads who need to present delivery improvement plans to management. The skill is designed to produce actionable, engineering-specific recommendations rather than generic process advice.
This is a skill, not an MCP server, so it has no exposed tools and does not connect to external data sources or APIs. It works by processing the team metrics supplied to it and applying DORA-framework reasoning to generate the diagnostic report and roadmap.
