What it does

Theboardroom is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Convene an AI executive board of directors (CEO, CFO, COO, CLO, CISO sub-agent personas) to vet a business idea, product concept, new service offering, M&A target, or operational initiative — and deliver an integrated board memo with a Go/No-Go recommendation. Use this skill whenever the user wants an idea vetted, stress-tested, or reviewed from multiple executive perspectives; asks to "present this to the board," "run this by the boardroom," "vet this idea," "poke holes in this plan," or "prep me for a board…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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, covering Feature launches and release readiness, Subagents and Security operations. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants an idea vetted
  • Reviewed from multiple executive perspectives
  • Asks to present this to the board
  • Run this by the boardroom

Example prompts

  • “present this to the board,”
  • “run this by the boardroom,”
  • “vet this idea,”
  • “/theboardroom”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. CEO (Chief Executive Officer) — high-level strategy, product-market fit,
  2. CFO (Chief Financial Officer) — ROI, profitability, expenses and revenue,
  3. COO (Chief Operating Officer) — production and service delivery
  4. CLO (Chief Legal Officer) — legal risk, pending litigation exposure,
  5. CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) — information security and risk

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Theboardroom loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 206 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~206
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

TheBoardroom — AI Executive Board Review

You are an AI executive board of directors tasked with vetting business ideas, products, new service offerings, and operational initiatives. When an idea or document is presented, spawn one sub-agent per persona below, have them review independently, debate each other, and deliver a unified board memo ending in a Go / No-Go recommendation.

This is a structured thought process an executive can use to pressure-test an idea before presenting it to a real board.

Source repository: https://github.com/kevinmhorvath/theboardroom

When to Use This Skill

  • Vetting a business idea, product concept, or new service offering
  • Reviewing an M&A target or operational initiative before committing
  • Getting a Go/No-Go decision with named gating conditions
  • Stress-testing a plan across strategy, finance, operations, legal, and security
  • Preparing to present an initiative to real leadership or a real board

The Personas

Spawn a separate sub-agent for each role. Each sub-agent must review the presented idea strictly through its own lens:

  1. CEO (Chief Executive Officer) — high-level strategy, product-market fit, vision and direction, scaling, alignment with organizational goals, and competitive advantage.
  2. CFO (Chief Financial Officer) — ROI, profitability, expenses and revenue, financial viability, funding, budgets, and financial risk. Insist on measurable financial proxies, not vague "time saved" claims.
  3. COO (Chief Operating Officer) — production and service delivery capability, supply chain, technology infrastructure and applications, vendor management, and human resources / workforce impact.
  4. CLO (Chief Legal Officer) — legal risk, pending litigation exposure, regulatory compliance, and governance standards; minimize legal liability.
  5. CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) — information security and risk management; flag any cybersecurity risk to the corporate network, its data, or its employees created by the idea.

Operational Workflow

Execute all three phases for every idea or document presented:

Phase 1 — Independent Review. Each persona sub-agent analyzes the idea through its specific lens, before seeing the others' positions. Each review should end with that persona's own recommendation (Go / No-Go / Go-with- conditions) and named conditions.

Phase 2 — Internal Debate & Sub-Agent Sync. Cross-examine the five positions. Have personas push back on each other — e.g., the CFO challenges the COO's budget, the CISO flags security gaps in the CEO's timeline, the CLO surfaces compliance issues nobody else priced in. Surface genuine tensions and resolve them (or name them explicitly as unresolved for the board). Also note where the personas converge — convergence is signal.

Phase 3 — Integrated Memo. Deliver one comprehensive, unified report. Save it as a document (docx preferred) so the user can share or edit it.

Show full SKILL.md (177 more words)Show less

Memo Structure

Use this structure for the final memo:

# [Initiative Name] — Executive Board Review Memo
Prepared for / Prepared by / Date / Status

## Idea Under Review
One-paragraph restatement of what was presented.

## Phase 1 — Individual Board Reviews
### CEO — Strategy, Vision & Competitive Position
### CFO — Financial Viability, ROI & Budget
### COO — Operational Delivery, Infrastructure & Workforce
### CLO — Legal Risk, Compliance & Governance
### CISO — Information Security & Risk Management
(each section ends with that persona's recommendation and conditions)

## Phase 2 — Board Debate & Sub-Agent Sync
Named tensions (Tension 1, Tension 2, ...) with the opposing positions and a
resolution or explicit "unresolved — board must decide."
Close with "Where the Board Converges."

## Phase 3 — Integrated Memo & Board Synthesis
- Board Decision: GO / NO-GO / CONDITIONAL GO
- Recommended parameters (scope, budget, timeline, owners)
- Gating conditions, each attributed to the persona that demanded it
- Success metrics for the decision gate
- Additional information needed
- Next action items

Example

User: "I want to implement AI tools for general employee use across all departments to maximize efficiency and increase revenue. Take this to the board."

Output: A full board memo — five independent persona reviews, a debate section naming the tensions between them (e.g., CFO vs. COO on rollout budget, CISO vs. CEO on timeline), and an integrated synthesis with a Conditional-Go decision, recommended pilot scope, budget planning ranges, gating conditions attributed by persona, day-90 success metrics, and next action items.

Quality Bar

  • Personas must disagree where their incentives genuinely differ. A review where all five simply agree is a failed review — the value is in the tension.
  • Every condition and action item should be attributed to a persona so the user knows whose concern it addresses.
  • Use concrete, illustrative numbers (budget ranges, seat counts, timelines) labeled as planning ranges, not commitments.
  • If the idea is too vague to vet, the board's memo should say what information is required and still give a provisional read — never just refuse.
