What it does

Ceo Advisor is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Executive leadership guidance for strategic decision-making, organizational development, and stakeholder management. Includes strategy analyzer, financial scenario modeling, board governance frameworks, and investor relations playbooks. Use when planning strategy, preparing board presentations, managing investors, developing organizational culture, making executive decisions, or when user mentions CEO, strategic planning, board meetings, investor updates, organizational leadership, or executive strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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/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: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. 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 Leadership
  5. External Representation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b4d8b. 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 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 879 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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.
