/cs:founder-mode <question> — Auto-routes any founder question to the right C-role advisor or to /cs:boardroom for multi-role topics. The single-command entry point. Use when a founder asks any strategic question without knowing which advisor or command fits — e.g. 'runway pressure' routes to the CFO, 'gross retention dropped' routes to the CCO.

Workflow
1. Parse the question for role signals 2. If exactly one role: invoke that cs- agent directly 3. If 2+ roles: build a brief via /cs:brief and trigger /cs:boardroom 4. If ambiguous / no signal match: trigger /cs:office-hours to force the founder to sharpen 5. Log the routing deci…

The router emits one of three responses:

Review the “Multi-role route” section in the pinned source before continuing.

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.

/cs:brief and trigger /cs:boardroom/cs:office-hours to force the founder to sharpendecision-loggerThe router emits one of three responses:
**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]
**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
**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]
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.
/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 "gross retention dropped 5 points this quarter"
→ cs-cco-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)

The lifecycle spine: SCHEMA → ACCESS → TRIAL → EVALUATE → IMPROVE → CODIFY → TEST → SKILLIFY → BULK → MONITOR. State is tracked in a durable JSON manifest (see MANIFEST-PATTERN.md) so any crash, session boundary, or subagent fan-out resumes from ground truth instead of memory.
