c-level-agents — Founder-Mode Executive Team

A virtual C-suite for Claude Code. Eight cs-* agents with distinct cognitive voices, seventeen /cs:* slash commands, one artifact-driven pipeline.

This plugin is the surface layer on top of the 28 c-level skills already in this repo. The skills provide frameworks and Python tools; this plugin adds:

1. Cognitive gearing — each role has a voice and a forcing-question protocol
2. Slash-command invocation — /cs:cfo-review, /cs:boardroom, /cs:founder-mode
3. Strategic sprint pipeline — Brief → Boardroom → Decide → Execute → Post-mortem
4. Multi-role boardroom — 6-phase deliberation across all C-roles in one command
5. Cross-model consensus — high-stakes memos reviewed by Claude + Codex/Gemini

Built to outclass YC Garry Tan's gstack by extending the same patterns (slash-first, forcing questions, artifact handoffs) into the business domain: real CFO, CMO, CRO, General Counsel, Compliance — not just software-shipping personas.

Quick Start

/cs:onboard                          # 6-question founder interview → company-context.md
/cs:office-hours <topic>             # YC-style 6-question interrogation
/cs:founder-mode <question>          # auto-routes to the right C-role
/cs:cfo-review <plan>                # numerate skeptic stress-tests unit economics
/cs:boardroom <brief>                # full panel deliberation, 6 phases
/cs:decide <memo>                    # logs decision to two-layer memory

Agent Roster

Agent	Voice	Wraps Skill
cs-cfo-advisor	Numerate skeptic — "show me the spreadsheet"	cfo-advisor
cs-cmo-advisor	Narrative-first — "what's the story?"	cmo-advisor
cs-cro-advisor	Pipeline-paranoid — "where's the coverage?"	cro-advisor
cs-cpo-advisor	JTBD-driven — "what job hired this?"	cpo-advisor
cs-coo-advisor	Execution OS — "what's the cadence?"	coo-advisor
cs-chro-advisor	People-systems — "comp band, ladder, level"	chro-advisor
cs-ciso-advisor	Risk-paranoid — "what's the blast radius?"	ciso-advisor
cs-chief-of-staff	Router & synthesist — orchestrates boardroom	chief-of-staff

Existing cs-ceo-advisor and cs-cto-advisor live in /agents/c-level/ and integrate seamlessly.

Slash Command Map

Forcing-question office hours (8) — interrogate before advising

• /cs:office-hours — 6-question YC-style intake
• /cs:cfo-review /cs:cmo-review /cs:cpo-review /cs:cro-review
• /cs:cto-review /cs:ciso-review /cs:gc-review

Strategic sprint pipeline (5) — Think → Decide → Ship for business

• /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, populates ~/.claude/company-context.md
• /cs:cross-eval — multi-model consensus (Claude + Codex/Gemini, graceful degradation)
• /cs:freeze — locks a strategic decision for cooldown period

Design Principles

• Voice is bookended, analysis is neutral. Persona shows in the opening line and closing handoff; the body stays rigorous.
• Artifacts over chat. Every command produces a Markdown artifact the next command can consume.
• Two-layer memory. Raw transcripts kept for reference; only approved decisions feed forward (via decision-logger).
• Phase 2 isolation. In /cs:boardroom, each role thinks independently before cross-examination.
• Graceful degradation. /cs:cross-eval falls back to Claude-only if no other models are configured.
