Try asking

Say it in your own words; the assistant finds this recipe by itself. Examples:

“Jeg har lige installeret c-level-agents. Hvad er det første skridt for at få rådgiverne til at kende min virksomhed?”
“Kør founder-interviewet for at opdatere min company-context.md. Vi er i seed-fase og har netop fået nye investorer.”
“Rådgiverne mangler data om vores brænding og runway. Lad os køre onboarding-processen igen for at fange de aktuelle tal.”
“I just installed the c-level-agents plugin. What is the first thing I need to do to get the advisors working?”
“Run the founder interview to set up my company context file. We are a seed-stage SaaS company with 12 employees.”
“We just closed our Series A. I need to update the company context so the boardroom advisors have the new valuation and runway numbers.”

Not for

Do not use this skill for general strategic advice or specific departmental queries (e.g., marketing strategy or engineering architecture) without first establishing context. It is not for updating individual data points in isolation; use the full interview to ensure consistency. It is not for companies that are not startups or do not fit the seed-to-Series C stage profile described.

Details

When it is the right choice

Use this skill when initializing the c-level-agents system for a new company or when the existing company context is missing or outdated. It is the required first step before running boardroom sessions or when advisors lack specific data like runway, ICP, or headcount. It should also be re-run after significant events like fundraising, major pivots, or large hiring changes.

The full recipe the assistant reads

/cs-onboard — Founder Interview

Command: /cs-onboard

The first command to run when adopting c-level-agents. A structured founder interview that produces ~/.claude/company-context.md — the file every cs-* advisor reads before responding. Without this, the advisors are guessing.

What This Produces

~/.claude/company-context.md — a single file with the durable facts about the company. Read by: - cs-chief-of-staff (routing decisions) - Every cs-* advisor (context for any question) - /c-level-agents:brief (assumptions in any new decision)

The Interview (12 Questions)

Company Basics

  1. Company name and one-sentence pitch.
  2. Stage: pre-seed / seed / Series A / Series B / Series C+ / public
  3. Headcount: total, by function (eng / product / GTM / ops / G&A)
  4. Geographic distribution: HQ + remote split, key countries

Business Model

  1. Revenue model: SaaS subscription / usage / transaction / marketplace / hardware / services
  2. ICP: name one real customer and describe what they have in common with others
  3. ACV: median and range; deal count last 12 months
  4. Growth rate: ARR YoY; if pre-revenue, leading metric (users, MAU, etc.)

Financial Posture

  1. Runway: months of cash at current burn; bear-case months
  2. Last raise: amount, valuation, lead investor, date

Strategic Context

  1. Top 3 priorities for the current quarter (in plain language)
  2. Top 3 risks the founder loses sleep over (be specific)

Output Format

Canonical schema: ~/.claude/company-context.md is owned by the cs-onboard skill and follows its 7-dimension schema (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cs-onboard/templates/company-context-template.md): Company Identity, Stage & Scale, Founder Profile, Team & Culture, Market & Competition, Current Challenges, Goals & Ambition. The 12 questions above are a faster structured intake that populates that same file — Identity/Business/Financial → Stage & Scale, Team → Team & Culture, Quarter priorities/risks → Current Challenges + Goals & Ambition. Write [not captured] for dimensions the quick intake doesn't reach (Founder Profile, Market & Competition); run the full cs-onboard interview to fill them. Never create a second context file or a divergent layout.

## Routing Hints
[Optional: any role the founder wants to use sparingly or rely on heavily]

Workflow

  1. Walk the founder through all 12 questions
  2. Quote founder's own words wherever possible (don't paraphrase the ICP)
  3. Save to ~/.claude/company-context.md
  4. (Optional) If llm-wiki bridge is configured: symlink to vault bash ln -sf ~/company-vault/00-meta/company-context.md ~/.claude/company-context.md
  5. Confirm with founder: read the file back, ask "anything missing?"

When to Re-Run

  • After a fundraise (numbers change)
  • After a major pivot or product launch
  • After 6+ months (most facts have drifted)
  • After a major hire (team distribution changes)
  • Always before a /c-level-agents:boardroom for a high-stakes decision

Persistence

By default, ~/.claude/company-context.md is local to the founder's machine. To make it persistent across machines / shareable:
