Founder Mode Auto Router

founder-mode
This skill automatically routes founder questions to the appropriate C-level advisor or boardroom based on keywords and intent. It eliminates the need to memorize specific slash commands by intelligently directing queries like 'runway pressure' to the CFO or 'win rate dropped' to the CRO. It handles multi-role topics by triggering a boardroom session and logs routing decisions for context awareness.

Overview

/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:

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)
