C-Level Advisory Skills — Claude Code Guidance

A complete virtual board of directors: 28 skills covering 10 executive roles, orchestration, cross-cutting capabilities, and culture & collaboration frameworks — plus the new c-level-agents plugin layer that surfaces 8 cs-* persona agents and 17 /cs:* slash commands on top of the skills.

c-level-agents Plugin (v1.0.0 — new in v2.5.0)

A separate plugin at the repo's top-level c-level-agents/ directory (moved out of c-level-advisor/ in #949 so the two marketplace sources no longer overlap) that wraps the 10 C-roles with persona agents and slash commands. Founder-mode entry layer.

13 cs-* Agents (in ../c-level-agents/agents/)

Existing cs-ceo-advisor and cs-cto-advisor live in /agents/c-level/ and integrate with the same protocol.

17 /cs:* Slash Commands (in ../c-level-agents/skills/)

Forcing-question office hours (8): /cs:office-hours, /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): /cs:brief → /cs:boardroom → /cs:decide → /cs:execute → /cs:post-mortem

Meta + safety (4): /cs:founder-mode (auto-router), /cs:onboard (founder interview), /cs:cross-eval (multi-model consensus), /cs:freeze (cooldown lock)

See c-level-agents/README.md for the full plugin guide and c-level-agents/references/persona-voices.md for voice specs.

Executive Mentor Slash Commands

The only skill with a plugin.json (namespace: em) because it has slash commands. Other skills are invoked by name through the Chief of Staff router or directly by the user. This is intentional — only add plugin.json when a skill has dedicated slash commands that need a namespace.

Key Design Decisions

• Two-layer memory: Raw transcripts (reference) + approved decisions only (feeds future meetings). Prevents hallucinated consensus.
• Phase 2 isolation: During board meetings, agents think independently before cross-examination.
• Internal Quality Loop: Self-verify → peer-verify → critic pre-screen → present. No unverified output reaches the founder.
• Proactive triggers: Every role has context-driven early warnings that surface issues without being asked.
• User Communication Standard: Bottom Line → What → Why → How to Act → Your Decision. Results only, no process narration.
