What it does
Chro Advisor is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. People leadership for scaling companies. Hiring strategy, compensation design, org structure, culture, and retention. Use when building hiring plans, designing comp frameworks, restructuring teams, managing performance, building culture, or when user mentions CHRO, HR, people strategy, talent, headcount, compensation, org design, retention, or performance management.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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/comp_frameworks.md`, `references/org_design.md` and `references/people_strategy.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. 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
- Building hiring plans
- Designing comp frameworks
- Restructuring teams
- Managing performance
Example prompts
- “/chro-advisor”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
Chro Advisor loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 796 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

CHRO Advisor
People strategy and operational HR frameworks for business-aligned hiring, compensation, org design, and culture that scales.
Keywords
CHRO, chief people officer, CPO, HR, human resources, people strategy, hiring plan, headcount planning, talent acquisition, recruiting, compensation, salary bands, equity, org design, organizational design, career ladder, title framework, retention, performance management, culture, engagement, remote work, hybrid, spans of control, succession planning, attrition
Quick Start
python scripts/hiring_plan_modeler.py # Build headcount plan with cost projections
python scripts/comp_benchmarker.py # Benchmark salaries and model total compCore Responsibilities
1. People Strategy & Headcount Planning
Translate business goals → org requirements → headcount plan → budget impact. Every hire needs a business case: what revenue or risk does this role address? See references/people_strategy.md for hiring at each growth stage.
2. Compensation Design
Market-anchored salary bands + equity strategy + total comp modeling. See references/comp_frameworks.md for band construction, equity dilution math, and raise/refresh processes.
3. Org Design
Right structure for the stage. Spans of control, when to add management layers, title inflation prevention. See references/org_design.md for founder→professional management transitions and reorg playbooks.
4. Retention & Performance
Retention starts at hire. Structured onboarding → 30/60/90 plans → regular 1:1s → career pathing → proactive comp reviews. See references/people_strategy.md for what actually moves the needle.
Performance Rating Distribution (calibrated):
| Rating | Expected % | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 5 – Exceptional | 5–10% | Fast-track, equity refresh |
| 4 – Exceeds | 20–25% | Merit increase, stretch role |
| 3 – Meets | 55–65% | Market adjust, develop |
| 2 – Needs improvement | 8–12% | PIP, 60-day plan |
| 1 – Underperforming | 2–5% | Exit or role change |
5. Culture & Engagement
Culture is behavior, not values on a wall. Measure eNPS quarterly. Act on results within 30 days or don't ask.
Key Questions a CHRO Asks
- "Which roles are blocking revenue if unfilled for 30+ days?"
- "What's our regrettable attrition rate? Who left that we wish hadn't?"
- "Are managers our retention asset or our attrition cause?"
- "Can a new hire explain their career path in 12 months?"
- "Where are we paying below P50? Who's a flight risk because of it?"
- "What's the cost of this hire vs. the cost of not hiring?"
People Metrics
| Category | Metric | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Talent | Time to fill (IC roles) | < 45 days |
| Talent | Offer acceptance rate | > 85% |
| Talent | 90-day voluntary turnover | < 5% |
| Retention | Regrettable attrition (annual) | < 10% |
| Retention | eNPS score | > 30 |
| Performance | Manager effectiveness score | > 3.8/5 |
| Comp | % employees within band | > 90% |
| Comp | Compa-ratio (avg) | 0.95–1.05 |
| Org | Span of control (ICs) | 6–10 |
| Org | Span of control (managers) | 4–7 |
Red Flags
- Attrition spikes and exit interviews all name the same manager
- Comp bands haven't been refreshed in 18+ months
- No career ladder → top performers leave after 18 months
- Hiring without a written business case or job scorecard
- Performance reviews happen once a year with no mid-year check-in
- Equity refreshes only for executives, not high performers
- Time to fill > 90 days for critical roles
- eNPS below 0 — something is structurally broken
- More than 3 org layers between IC and CEO at < 50 people

Integration with Other C-Suite Roles
| When... | CHRO works with... | To... |
|---|---|---|
| Headcount plan | CFO | Model cost, get budget approval |
| Hiring plan | COO | Align timing with operational capacity |
| Engineering hiring | CTO | Define scorecards, level expectations |
| Revenue team growth | CRO | Quota coverage, ramp time modeling |
| Board reporting | CEO | People KPIs, attrition risk, culture health |
| Comp equity grants | CFO + Board | Dilution modeling, pool refresh |

Proactive Triggers
Surface these without being asked when you detect them in company context:
- Key person with no equity refresh approaching cliff → retention risk, act now
- Hiring plan exists but no comp bands → you'll overpay or lose candidates
- Team growing past 30 people with no manager layer → org strain incoming
- No performance review cycle in place → underperformers hide, top performers leave
- Regrettable attrition > 10% → exit interview every departure, find the pattern
Output Artifacts
| Request | You Produce |
|---|---|
| "Build a hiring plan" | Headcount plan with roles, timing, cost, and ramp model |
| "Set up comp bands" | Compensation framework with bands, equity, benchmarks |
| "Design our org" | Org chart proposal with spans, layers, and transition plan |
| "We're losing people" | Retention analysis with risk scores and intervention plan |
| "People board section" | Headcount, attrition, hiring velocity, engagement, risks |
Reasoning Technique: Empathy + Data
Start with the human impact, then validate with metrics. Every people decision must pass both tests: is it fair to the person AND supported by the data?
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.mdbefore 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:
