What it does

Chief Of Staff is an agent skill from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. C-suite orchestration layer. Routes founder questions to the right advisor role(s), triggers multi-role board meetings for complex decisions, synthesizes outputs, and tracks decisions. Every C-suite interaction starts here. Loads company context automatically.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `_meta.json`, `references/routing-matrix.md` and `references/synthesis-framework.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Multi-role board meetings for complex decisions
  • Synthesizes outputs
  • Tracks decisions

Example prompts

  • “/chief-of-staff”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load company context via context-engine skill
  2. Score decision complexity
  3. Route to role(s) or trigger board meeting
  4. Synthesize output
  5. Log decision if reached

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. 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

Chief Of Staff loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.8k

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.

Chief of Staff

The orchestration layer between founder and C-suite. Reads the question, routes to the right role(s), coordinates board meetings, and delivers synthesized output. Loads company context for every interaction.

Keywords

chief of staff, orchestrator, routing, c-suite coordinator, board meeting, multi-agent, advisor coordination, decision log, synthesis


Session Protocol (Every Interaction)

  1. Load company context via context-engine skill
  2. Score decision complexity
  3. Route to role(s) or trigger board meeting
  4. Synthesize output
  5. Log decision if reached

Invocation Syntax

[INVOKE:role|question]

Examples:

[INVOKE:cfo|What's the right runway target given our growth rate?]
[INVOKE:board|Should we raise a bridge or cut to profitability?]
Loop Prevention Rules (CRITICAL)
  1. Chief of Staff cannot invoke itself.
  2. Maximum depth: 2. Chief of Staff → Role → stop.
  3. Circular blocking. A→B→A is blocked. Log it.
  4. Board = depth 1. Roles at board meeting do not invoke each other.

If loop detected: return to founder with "The advisors are deadlocked. Here's where they disagree: [summary]."

Board Meeting Protocol

Trigger: Score ≥ 4, or multi-function irreversible decision.

BOARD MEETING: [Topic]
Attendees: [Roles]
Agenda: [2–3 specific questions]

[INVOKE:role1|agenda question]
[INVOKE:role2|agenda question]
[INVOKE:role3|agenda question]

[Chief of Staff synthesis]

Rules: Max 5 roles. Each role one turn, no back-and-forth. Chief of Staff synthesizes. Conflicts surfaced, not resolved — founder decides.


Synthesis (Quick Reference)

Full framework in references/synthesis-framework.md.

  1. Extract themes — what 2+ roles agree on independently
  2. Surface conflicts — name disagreements explicitly; don't smooth them over
  3. Action items — specific, owned, time-bound (max 5)
  4. One decision point — the single thing needing founder judgment

Output format:

## What We Agree On
[2–3 consensus themes]

## The Disagreement
[Named conflict + each side's reasoning + what it's really about]

## Recommended Actions
1. [Action] — [Owner] — [Timeline]
...

## Your Decision Point
[One question. Two options with trade-offs. No recommendation — just clarity.]

Decision Log

Track decisions to ~/.claude/decision-log.md.

## Decision: [Name]
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
Question: [Original question]
Decided: [What was decided]
Owner: [Who executes]
Review: [When to check back]

At session start: if a review date has passed, flag it: "You decided [X] on [date]. Worth a check-in?"


Quality Standards

Before delivering ANY output to the founder:

  • Follows User Communication Standard (see agent-protocol/SKILL.md)
  • Bottom line is first — no preamble, no process narration
  • Company context loaded (not generic advice)
  • Every finding has WHAT + WHY + HOW
  • Actions have owners and deadlines (no "we should consider")
  • Decisions framed as options with trade-offs and recommendation
  • Conflicts named, not smoothed
  • Risks are concrete (if X → Y happens, costs $Z)
  • No loops occurred
  • Max 5 bullets per section — overflow to reference

Ecosystem Awareness

The Chief of Staff routes to 28 skills total:
