/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, NRR, churn, ramp	`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:gc-review`
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: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
```

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.md

Ambiguous → 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 "let's hire a VP Marketing"
   → boardroom (CHRO + CMO + CFO touched)

/cs:founder-mode "should we be growing faster?"
   → /cs:office-hours (too ambiguous)
