What This Plugin Provides

13 cs-* Agents (in agents/)

Each agent wraps an existing c-level skill and adds:

• A distinct cognitive voice (numerate skeptic, narrative-first, etc.)
• Forcing questions specific to the role
• Workflow orchestration tied to skill Python tools
• Output template: Bottom Line → What → Why → How to Act → Your Decision

See ../../references/persona-voices.md for voice specs.

21 /cs:* Slash Commands (in skills/)

Forcing-question office hours (12):

• /cs:office-hours — YC-style 6-question intake
• /cs:cfo-review — unit economics, runway, dilution
• /cs:cmo-review — ICP, CAC payback, positioning
• /cs:cpo-review — RICE, JTBD, North Star, PMF
• /cs:cro-review — pipeline coverage, win rate, NRR
• /cs:cto-review — architecture risk, scaling cliff
• /cs:ciso-review — threat model, blast radius, compliance
• /cs:gc-review — contracts, IP, regulatory, term sheets
• /cs:cdo-review — training-data rights, data products, data assets
• /cs:caio-review — model selection, evals, AI risk, AI costs
• /cs:cco-review — GRR/NRR decomposition, churn root cause, CS coverage
• /cs:vpe-review — DORA metrics, cycle time, eng hiring funnel, team structure

Strategic sprint pipeline (5):

• /cs:brief → /cs:boardroom → /cs:decide → /cs:execute → /cs:post-mortem

Meta + safety (4):

• /cs:founder-mode — auto-routes to the right C-role
• /cs:onboard — founder interview → company-context.md
• /cs:cross-eval — multi-model consensus
• /cs:freeze — cooldown lock on a decision

Quick Start

/cs:onboard                          # populate company context first
/cs:office-hours "should we hire a VP Sales?"
/cs:founder-mode "runway pressure"   # auto-routes to CFO
/cs:boardroom briefs/pricing-v3.md   # full panel

Integration Points

• Existing 33 c-level skills — wrapped, not replaced
• decision-logger — every /cs:decide writes here
• chief-of-staff — routing layer the agent orchestrates
• board-meeting — protocol the /cs:boardroom command runs
• llm-wiki — optional persistent memory bridge (see ../../references/llm-wiki-bridge.md)
• executive-mentor — adversarial /em:* commands stack cleanly on top

Design Principles

1. Voice is bookended, analysis is neutral.
2. Artifacts over chat. Every command produces a Markdown artifact the next command consumes.
3. Phase 2 isolation in boardroom. Independent thinking before cross-examination.
4. Graceful degradation. /cs:cross-eval falls back to Claude-only.
5. No paid dependencies. All Python tools are stdlib-only.
