Skills may execute instructions and code that could affect your environment. Marketplace scans reduce risk but do not guarantee safety. Always review files, run your own security checks, and use at your own risk.

I understand these skills can contain unsafe or unintended behavior, and I will review and security-scan before use. No warranty, suitability, or outcome is guaranteed.

# Auto-Router: Founder Mode

The single command a founder needs. Routes any question to the right C-role automatically, or triggers multi-role boardroom if needed.

Type the question; the system figures out the room.

## Routing Logic

| Signal in Question | Routes To |
|---|---|
| Burn, runway, fundraise, dilution, model, LTV, CAC | CFO |
| Pipeline, win rate, forecast, quota, ramp, sales motion | CRO |
| Positioning, ICP, message, brand, channel, campaign | CMO |
| Roadmap, PMF, JTBD, North Star, RICE, kill | CPO |
| Cadence, OKR, scorecard, DRI, operating system | COO |
| Hiring, comp, ladder, level, attrition, eNPS | CHRO |
| Security, threat, breach, compliance, audit, SOC 2 | CISO |
| Architecture, scaling, tech debt, SLO, latency | CTO |
| Contract, IP, term sheet, regulator, license | General Counsel |
| Retention, GRR, NRR, churn, customer success, CSM, time-to-value, renewals | CCO |
| Training data, data rights, consent, data asset, warehouse | CDO |
| Model selection, eval, hallucination, AI risk, EU AI Act, fine-tune | CAIO |
| DORA, cycle time, deploy frequency, eng hiring funnel, team topology | VPE |
| Strategy, vision, board, M&A, raise, exit | CEO |
| **2+ signals from different roles** | Boardroom |
| **Ambiguous / no signal** | Office hours (framing first) |

## Workflow

1. Parse question for role signals
2. If exactly one role: invoke that advisor directly
3. If 2+ roles: build brief and trigger boardroom
4. If ambiguous: trigger office hours to sharpen question
5. Log routing decision

## Why This Matters

Collapsing founder cognitive load. Type the question. System picks the room. With company context + decision memory, the router knows what's been decided and won't re-litigate.

## Examples

/founder-mode "should we raise Series B now or wait 6 months?" 
  → Boardroom (CFO + CEO + CRO)

/founder-mode "win rate dropped 20% this month"
  → CRO advisor

/founder-mode "gross retention dropped 5 points this quarter"
  → CCO advisor

/founder-mode "let's hire a VP Marketing"
  → Boardroom (CHRO + CMO + CFO)

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