Culture Architect

Culture Architect turns company culture from slogans into an operational system of observable behaviors, measurable health, and scalable rituals. It provides frameworks for mission/vision/values workshops, translating values into concrete behaviors, creating culture codes, running culture health assessments, and designing stage-appropriate rituals.

✨ What it does

  • Guides mission/vision/values workshops with targeted questions.
  • Provides a values-to-behaviors translation table and workshop exercise.
  • Offers a culture code template and anti-patterns to avoid.
  • Defines a culture health assessment with scoring and action levels.
  • Recommends cultural rituals by company stage (seed to large).
  • Identifies culture anti-patterns and integration with C-suite.

🎯 When to use it

  • When building or refining company values, mission, or vision.
  • When assessing culture health through surveys or feedback.
  • When designing cultural rituals or creating a culture code document.
  • When addressing culture clashes, culture debt, or value-washing.
  • When the user mentions culture, values, culture debt, founder culture, or culture code.

🚀 How to use

Trigger by asking about culture, values, or culture code. The skill expects a description of your current situation (e.g., company size, existing values, symptoms). It will guide you through frameworks and may reference templates. Example prompts:

Help me define our company values and turn them into behaviors.
We're scaling from 20 to 100 people; how do we keep our culture intact?

📄 Output: A culture code document, values-to-behaviors mapping, culture health assessment plan, or ritual recommendations.

⚠️ Good to know

Requires honest input about actual behaviors; the skill cannot observe your culture directly.

❓ FAQ

What is the core principle of culture?

Culture = (What you reward) + (What you tolerate) + (What you celebrate). It's descriptive, not aspirational.

How many values should a company have?

Keep to 3–5. More than 5 and none of them mean anything.

What is value-washing?

Listing values you don't practice. Symptom: employees roll their eyes during values discussions. Fix: run a values audit.
