What it does

Cs Onboard is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Founder onboarding interview that captures company context across 7 dimensions.

Use when setting up the C-suite advisors for the first time, or when company context is missing or more than 90 days old — e.g. after a fundraise or pivot.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/interview-guide.md` and `templates/company-context-template.md`).

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.

Example prompts

  • “/cs-onboard”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Company Identity
  2. Stage & Scale
  3. Founder Profile
  4. Team & Culture
  5. Market & Competition
  6. Current Challenges
  7. Goals & Ambition

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Cs Onboard loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 570 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

C-Suite Onboarding

Structured founder interview that builds the company context file powering every C-suite advisor. One 45-minute conversation. Persistent context across all roles.

Commands

  • /cs:setup — Full onboarding interview (~45 min, 7 dimensions)
  • /cs:update — Quarterly refresh (~15 min, "what changed?")

Keywords

cs:setup, cs:update, company context, founder interview, onboarding, company profile, c-suite setup, advisor setup


Conversation Principles

Be a conversation, not an interrogation. Ask one question at a time. Follow threads. Reflect back: "So the real issue sounds like X — is that right?" Watch for what they skip — that's where the real story lives. Never read a list of questions.

Open with: "Tell me about the company in your own words — what are you building and why does it matter?"


7 Interview Dimensions

1. Company Identity

Capture: what they do, who it's for, the real founding "why," one-sentence pitch, non-negotiable values. Key probe: "What's a value you'd fire someone over violating?" Red flag: Values that sound like marketing copy.

2. Stage & Scale

Capture: headcount (FT vs contractors), revenue range, runway, stage (pre-PMF / scaling / optimizing), what broke in last 90 days. Key probe: "If you had to label your stage — still finding PMF, scaling what works, or optimizing?"

3. Founder Profile

Capture: self-identified superpower, acknowledged blind spots, archetype (product/sales/technical/operator), what actually keeps them up at night. Key probe: "What would your co-founder say you should stop doing?" Red flag: No blind spots, or weakness framed as a strength.

4. Team & Culture

Capture: team in 3 words, last real conflict and resolution, which values are real vs aspirational, strongest and weakest leader. Key probe: "Which of your stated values is most real? Which is a poster on the wall?" Red flag: "We have no conflict."

5. Market & Competition

Capture: who's winning and why (honest version), real unfair advantage, the one competitive move that could hurt them. Key probe: "What's your real unfair advantage — not the investor version?" Red flag: "We have no real competition."

6. Current Challenges

Capture: priority stack-rank across product/growth/people/money/operations, the decision they've been avoiding, the "one extra day" answer. Key probe: "What's the decision you've been putting off for weeks?" Note: The "extra day" answer reveals true priorities.

Show full SKILL.md (213 more words)Show less
7. Goals & Ambition

Capture: 12-month target (specific), 36-month target (directional), exit vs build-forever orientation, personal success definition. Key probe: "What does success look like for you personally — separate from the company?"


Output: company-context.md

After the interview, generate ~/.claude/company-context.md using templates/company-context-template.md.

Fill every section. Write [not captured] for unknowns — never leave blank. Add timestamp, mark as fresh.

Tell the founder: "I've captured everything in your company context. Every advisor will use this to give specific, relevant advice. Run /cs:update in 90 days to keep it current."


/cs:update — Quarterly Refresh

Trigger: Every 90 days or after a major change. Duration: ~15 minutes.

Open with: "It's been [X time] since we did your company context. What's changed?"

Walk each dimension with one "what changed?" question:

  1. Identity: same mission or shifted?
  2. Scale: team, revenue, runway now?
  3. Founder: role or what's stretching you?
  4. Team: any leadership changes?
  5. Market: any competitive surprises?
  6. Challenges: #1 problem now vs 90 days ago?
  7. Goals: still on track for 12-month target?

Update the context file, refresh timestamp, reset to fresh.
