C Level Advisor

What Is C Level Advisor?

C Level Advisor is an advanced open-source skill set designed to provide AI-powered C-level advisory capabilities to modern code assistants and CLI tools—including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Built for founders, executives, and technical leaders, C Level Advisor acts as a virtual board of directors, simulating the expertise of ten key executive roles: CEO, CTO, COO, CPO, CMO, CFO, CRO, CISO, CHRO, and Executive Mentor. This skill set facilitates multi-role strategic discussions, structured recommendations, and decision support, enabling founders and leaders to make high-level decisions with speed and confidence.

The C Level Advisor plugin suite supports single-agent and multi-agent scenarios, making it possible to route strategic queries automatically to the relevant virtual executive, or to convene a simulated board meeting for complex decisions. The system is highly configurable, supports structured onboarding, and leverages company-context files to ensure advice is always tailored to your organization's unique situation.

Why Use C Level Advisor?

Founders and technical leaders often lack immediate access to a full board or executive team, especially in the early stages of a venture. C Level Advisor bridges this gap by:

• Providing on-demand, role-specific executive guidance for crucial decisions.
• Emulating a boardroom environment for multi-perspective strategy sessions.
• Structuring recommendations based on real company context rather than generic advice.
• Reducing the risk of founder isolation and decision-making blind spots.
• Accelerating the decision cycle by making expert insights instantly accessible within the tools developers already use.

Whether you are refining go-to-market strategy, planning a technical roadmap, navigating hiring, or preparing for fundraising, C Level Advisor offers relevant, actionable insights tailored to your company’s stage, metrics, and team composition.

How to Get Started

Getting started with C Level Advisor is designed to be straightforward but thorough, ensuring the advisory system is closely aligned with your company's context from the outset.

1. Install the Skill: Clone or download the C Level Advisor skill from the official GitHub repository and follow the tool-specific setup instructions.

2. Initialize Company Context: Run the /cs:setup command in your code assistant or CLI environment. This triggers an onboarding questionnaire to create a company-context.md file in your project root. This file should include essential information such as company name, stage, ARR/MRR, runway, team size, and other core metrics.

   Example:

   bash

   /cs:setup

   The script will prompt you for details. Example output in company-context.md:

   plaintext

   Company: Acme AI
   Description: Developer-first SaaS for autonomous agents
   Stage: Seed
   ARR: $250,000
   Runway: 13 months
   Team Size: 7

3. Engage Advisory Agents:

   • Ask any strategic question, and the Chief of Staff agent will route your query to the appropriate executive role.
   • For significant decisions, trigger a simulated board meeting using:
     bash

     /cs:board

     This will gather input from multiple virtual executives before arriving at a consensus.

4. Iterate and Update Context: Rerun /cs:setup whenever your company context changes significantly, ensuring recommendations remain relevant.

Key Features

• 10 C-Level Agent Roles: Includes CEO, CTO, COO, CPO, CMO, CFO, CRO, CISO, CHRO, and Executive Mentor, each emulating domain-specific decision-making.
• Chief of Staff Routing: Automatically directs questions to the executive best suited to answer.
• Multi-Role Board Meetings: /cs:board aggregates input from at least three executive agents before finalizing a recommendation.
• Contextualized Recommendations: All agents read from the company-context.md, ensuring bespoke, actionable guidance.
• Structured Decision Logs: Outputs are formatted with rationale, risks, and action steps.
• Cross-Platform Integration: Supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and OpenClaw.
• Open Source and Extensible: MIT-licensed, easily customizable for additional roles or domains.

Sample Usage:

/cs:setup
## Complete onboarding to create context

/cs:ask "How should we approach our Series A fundraising strategy?"
## Routed to CEO, CFO, and CRO for input

/cs:board
## Triggers a simulated board meeting for consensus-driven decisions

Best Practices

• Maintain Accurate Context: Always keep company-context.md up to date with changes in company stage, team, or metrics.
• Use Board Meetings for Major Decisions: For high-impact choices, rely on /cs:board to ensure balanced, multi-role input.
• Log Outcomes: Document recommendations and action steps for future reference and accountability.
• Iterative Use: Treat C Level Advisor as an ongoing executive partner; revisit for recurring strategic discussions.
• Customize for Your Needs: Extend or refine agent roles as your company grows or pivots.

Important Notes

• Data Privacy: All context and queries are stored locally. Review your tool’s privacy policy if using cloud-based code assistants.
• Not a Legal Substitute: C Level Advisor offers simulated guidance and should not replace legal, financial, or regulatory counsel.
• Role Coverage: While comprehensive, the default roles may need customization for specialized industries or unique organizational structures.
• Version Updates: Check for updates regularly, as new roles, scripts, and reference materials are added with each release.
• Community Contributions: As an open-source project, contributions and feedback are encouraged to expand the skill’s utility and accuracy.
