founder-mode

Send a founder’s strategic question to the appropriate executive advisor by matching its wording and intent. Questions spanning several roles go to a boardroom discussion, while unclear questions receive an intake to clarify the issue.

OriginalShow the original description

/c-level-agents:founder-mode [question] — Auto-routes any founder question to the right C-role advisor or to /c-level-agents:boardroom for multi-role topics. The single-command entry point. Use when a founder asks any strategic question without knowing which advisor or command fits — e.g. 'runway pressure' routes to the CFO, 'gross retention dropped' routes to the CCO.

Good for

  • Finding the right advisor for a business question
  • Framing fundraising decisions across multiple roles
  • Routing sales or customer retention concerns
  • Clarifying a broad growth question

/c-level-agents:founder-mode — The Auto-Router

Command: /c-level-agents:founder-mode <question>

The single command a founder needs to remember. Routes the question to the right C-role automatically, or triggers /c-level-agents:boardroom if multi-role.

This is the killer command — the answer to "I don't know which slash command to use." Type the question; the system figures out the room.

Routing Logic

The router (via cs-chief-of-staff) does keyword + intent matching:

Signal in questionRoute
burn, runway, fundraise, dilution, model, LTV, CACcs-cfo-advisor
pipeline, win rate, forecast, quota, ramp, sales motioncs-cro-advisor

2+ signals from different roles/c-level-agents:boardroom
ambiguous/c-level-agents:office-hours first, then route

Workflow

  1. Parse the question for role signals
  2. If exactly one role: invoke that cs-* agent directly
  3. If 2+ roles: build a brief via /c-level-agents:brief and trigger /c-level-agents:boardroom
  4. If ambiguous / no signal match: trigger /c-level-agents:office-hours to force the founder to sharpen
  5. Log the routing decision (raw layer) via decision-logger

Output

The router emits one of three responses:

Single-role route

**Routing:** cs-cfo-advisor
**Why:** Question hits burn rate and unit economics.
**Next:** Invoking cs-cfo-advisor with company-context loaded.

[Advisor's response follows]

Multi-role route

**Routing:** /c-level-agents:boardroom
**Why:** Question touches CFO + CMO + CPO (pricing change has finance, positioning, and product implications).
**Next:** Building brief via /c-level-agents:brief, then running boardroom.

Brief saved: ~/.claude/briefs/2026-05-12-pricing-v3.md
Run: /c-level-agents:boardroom ~/.claude/briefs/2026-05-12-pricing-v3.md

Ambiguous → office hours

**Routing:** /c-level-agents:office-hours
**Why:** Question is too broad ("should we grow faster?"). Need framing before any advisor can help.
**Next:** Six-question intake.

[Office hours questions follow]

Why This Is the Killer Command

gstack requires the founder to know all 23 slash commands and pick the right one. That's a cognitive tax. /c-level-agents:founder-mode collapses that to one — the system picks. This is also where persistent memory pays off: with company-context.md + decision-logger, the router knows what's already been decided and won't re-litigate.

Examples

/c-level-agents:founder-mode "should we raise a Series B now or wait 6 months?"
   → boardroom (CFO + CEO + CRO touched)

/c-level-agents:founder-mode "the win rate dropped 20% this month"
   → cs-cro-advisor

/c-level-agents:founder-mode "gross retention dropped 5 points this quarter"
   → cs-cco-advisor

/c-level-agents:founder-mode "let's hire a VP Marketing"
   → boardroom (CHRO + CMO + CFO touched)

/c-level-agents:founder-mode "should we be growing faster?"
   → /c-level-agents:office-hours (too ambiguous)
