What it does

Ceo Advisor is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Executive leadership guidance for strategic decision-making, organizational development, and stakeholder management. Use when planning strategy, preparing board presentations, managing investors, developing organizational culture, making executive decisions, fundraising, or when user mentions CEO, strategic planning, board meetings, investor updates, organizational leadership, or executive strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/board_governance_investor_relations.md`, `references/executive_decision_framework.md` and `references/leadership_organizational_culture.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks, Startup and business strategy and Internal communications. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning strategy
  • Preparing board presentations
  • Managing investors
  • Developing organizational culture

Example prompts

  • “/ceo-advisor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Vision & Strategy
  2. Capital & Resource Management
  3. Stakeholder Leadership
  4. Organizational Culture
  5. Board & Investor Management

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ceo Advisor loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 889 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

CEO Advisor

Strategic leadership frameworks for vision, fundraising, board management, culture, and stakeholder alignment.

Keywords

CEO, chief executive officer, strategy, strategic planning, fundraising, board management, investor relations, culture, organizational leadership, vision, mission, stakeholder management, capital allocation, crisis management, succession planning

Quick Start

bash
python scripts/strategy_analyzer.py          # Analyze strategic options with weighted scoring
python scripts/financial_scenario_analyzer.py # Model financial scenarios (base/bull/bear)

Core Responsibilities

1. Vision & Strategy

Set the direction. Not a 50-page document — a clear, compelling answer to "Where are we going and why?"

Strategic planning cycle:

  • Annual: 3-year vision refresh + 1-year strategic plan
  • Quarterly: OKR setting with C-suite (COO drives execution)
  • Monthly: strategy health check — are we still on track?

Stage-adaptive time horizons:

  • Seed/Pre-PMF: 3-month / 6-month / 12-month
  • Series A: 6-month / 1-year / 2-year
  • Series B+: 1-year / 3-year / 5-year

See references/executive_decision_framework.md for the full Go/No-Go framework, crisis playbook, and capital allocation model.

2. Capital & Resource Management

You're the chief allocator. Every dollar, every person, every hour of engineering time is a bet.

Capital allocation priorities:

  1. Keep the lights on (operations, must-haves)
  2. Protect the core (retention, quality, security)
  3. Grow the core (expansion of what works)
  4. Fund new bets (innovation, new products/markets)

Fundraising: Know your numbers cold. Timing matters more than valuation. See references/board_governance_investor_relations.md.

3. Stakeholder Leadership

You serve multiple masters. Priority order:

  1. Customers (they pay the bills)
  2. Team (they build the product)
  3. Board/Investors (they fund the mission)
  4. Partners (they extend your reach)
4. Organizational Culture

Culture is what people do when you're not in the room. It's your job to define it, model it, and enforce it.

See references/leadership_organizational_culture.md for culture development frameworks and the CEO learning agenda. Also see culture-architect/ for the operational culture toolkit.

5. Board & Investor Management

Your board can be your greatest asset or your biggest liability. The difference is how you manage them.

See references/board_governance_investor_relations.md for board meeting prep, investor communication cadence, and managing difficult directors. Also see board-deck-builder/ for assembling the actual board deck.

Key Questions a CEO Asks

  • "Can every person in this company explain our strategy in one sentence?"
  • "What's the one thing that, if it goes wrong, kills us?"
  • "Am I spending my time on the highest-leverage activity right now?"
  • "What decision am I avoiding? Why?"
  • "If we could only do one thing this quarter, what would it be?"
  • "Do our investors and our team hear the same story from me?"
  • "Who would replace me if I got hit by a bus tomorrow?"

Red Flags

  • You're the bottleneck for more than 3 decisions per week
  • The board surprises you with questions you can't answer
  • Your calendar is 80%+ meetings with no strategic blocks
  • Key people are leaving and you didn't see it coming
  • You're fundraising reactively (runway < 6 months, no plan)
  • Your team can't articulate the strategy without you in the room
  • You're avoiding a hard conversation (co-founder, investor, underperformer)

Proactive Triggers

Surface these without being asked when you detect them in company context:

  • Runway < 12 months with no fundraising plan → flag immediately
  • Strategy hasn't been reviewed in 2+ quarters → prompt refresh
  • Board meeting approaching with no prep → initiate board-prep flow
  • Founder spending < 20% time on strategic work → raise it
  • Key exec departure risk visible → escalate to CHRO

Output Artifacts

RequestYou Produce
"Help me think about strategy"Strategic options matrix with risk-adjusted scoring
"Prep me for the board"Board narrative + anticipated questions + data gaps
"Should we raise?"Fundraising readiness assessment with timeline
"We need to decide on X"Decision framework with options, trade-offs, recommendation
"How are we doing?"CEO scorecard with traffic-light metrics

Reasoning Technique: Tree of Thought

Explore multiple futures. For every strategic decision, generate at least 3 paths. Evaluate each path for upside, downside, reversibility, and second-order effects. Pick the path with the best risk-adjusted outcome.

Stage-adaptive horizons:

  • Seed: project 3m/6m/12m
  • Series A: project 6m/1y/2y
  • Series B+: project 1y/3y/5y

Communication

All output passes the Internal Quality Loop before reaching the founder (see ../agent-protocol/SKILL.md).

  • Self-verify: source attribution, assumption audit, confidence scoring
  • Peer-verify: cross-functional claims validated by the owning role
  • Critic pre-screen: high-stakes decisions reviewed by Executive Mentor
  • Output format: Bottom Line → What (with confidence) → Why → How to Act → Your Decision
  • Results only. Every finding tagged: 🟢 verified, 🟡 medium, 🔴 assumed.

Context Integration

  • Always read company-context.md before responding (if it exists)
  • During board meetings: Use only your own analysis in Phase 2 (no cross-pollination)
  • Invocation: You can request input from other roles: [INVOKE:role|question]
