What it does
Founder Mode is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. /cs:founder-mode <question — Auto-routes any founder question to the right C-role advisor or to /cs: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.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & 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
- A founder asks any strategic question without knowing which advisor
- Command fits — e.g
Example prompts
- “runway pressure”
- “gross retention dropped”
- “/founder-mode”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse the question for role signals
- If exactly one role: invoke that cs-* agent directly
- If 2+ roles: build a brief via /cs:brief and trigger /cs:boardroom
- If ambiguous / no signal match: trigger /cs:office-hours to force the founder to sharpen
- Log the routing decision (raw layer) via decision-logger
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
Founder Mode loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- /cs:founder-mode <question> — Auto-routes any founder question to the right C-role advisor or to /cs: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.
/cs:founder-mode — The Auto-Router
Command: /cs:founder-mode <question>
The single command a founder needs to remember. Routes the question to the right C-role automatically, or triggers /cs: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 question | Route |
|---|---|
| burn, runway, fundraise, dilution, model, LTV, CAC | cs-cfo-advisor |
| pipeline, win rate, forecast, quota, ramp, sales motion | cs-cro-advisor |
| positioning, ICP, message, brand, channel, campaign | cs-cmo-advisor |
| roadmap, PMF, JTBD, North Star, RICE, kill | cs-cpo-advisor |
| cadence, OKR, scorecard, DRI, operating system, rhythm | cs-coo-advisor |
| hiring, comp, ladder, level, attrition, eNPS, equity | cs-chro-advisor |
| security, threat, breach, compliance, audit, SOC 2 | cs-ciso-advisor |
| architecture, scaling, tech debt, SLO, latency | cs-cto-advisor |
| contract, IP, term sheet, regulator, license | cs-general-counsel-advisor |
| retention, GRR, NRR, churn, customer success, CSM, time-to-value, renewals | cs-cco-advisor |
| training data, data rights, consent, data asset, warehouse, lakehouse, data mesh | cs-cdo-advisor |
| model selection, eval, hallucination, AI risk, EU AI Act, fine-tune, build vs buy AI | cs-caio-advisor |
| DORA, cycle time, deploy frequency, eng hiring funnel, team topology, delivery throughput | cs-vpe-advisor |
| strategy, vision, board, M&A, raise, exit | cs-ceo-advisor |
| 2+ signals from different roles | /cs:boardroom |
| ambiguous | /cs:office-hours first, then route |
Workflow
- Parse the question for role signals
- If exactly one role: invoke that cs-* agent directly
- If 2+ roles: build a brief via
/cs:briefand trigger/cs:boardroom - If ambiguous / no signal match: trigger
/cs:office-hoursto force the founder to sharpen - 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:** /cs:boardroom
**Why:** Question touches CFO + CMO + CPO (pricing change has finance, positioning, and product implications).
**Next:** Building brief via /cs:brief, then running boardroom.
Brief saved: ~/.claude/briefs/2026-05-12-pricing-v3.md
Run: /cs:boardroom ~/.claude/briefs/2026-05-12-pricing-v3.mdAmbiguous → office hours
**Routing:** /cs: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. /cs: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
/cs:founder-mode "should we raise a Series B now or wait 6 months?"
→ boardroom (CFO + CEO + CRO touched)
/cs:founder-mode "the win rate dropped 20% this month"
→ cs-cro-advisor
/cs:founder-mode "gross retention dropped 5 points this quarter"
→ cs-cco-advisor
/cs:founder-mode "let's hire a VP Marketing"
→ boardroom (CHRO + CMO + CFO touched)
/cs:founder-mode "should we be growing faster?"
→ /cs:office-hours (too ambiguous)Related
