Performance Review

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

Turns review season from a stressful scramble into a structured process. Generates three types of templates: self-assessments with impact-focused prompts, manager reviews that push you toward specific behavioral examples instead of vague praise, and calibration prep docs with rating distributions and promotion justifications. The real value is in the scaffolding. It forces you to think in terms of situation, contribution, and measurable impact rather than just "did good work." If you have HRIS or project tracker connections, it can pull prior reviews and completed work as evidence. Honestly most useful for the calibration prep, which is always a mess of spreadsheets otherwise.
