What it does

This skill runs a structured 12-question interview with a founder about the company's stage, business model, finances, team, and current priorities and risks. The answers are saved to a single markdown file at ~/.claude/company-context.md, which other advisor skills in the c-level-agents set read before answering, so their advice is based on the company's real facts rather than guesses. It is meant to be run first, and again after big changes such as a fundraise.

Great for

  • Founders or operators setting up the c-level-agents advisor set for a company for the first time
  • Teams who want advisor skills to reference the same up-to-date company facts
  • Anyone whose company numbers have changed (new funding, pivot, major hire) and needs the context file refreshed

Skip it if

  • Users who do not want sensitive financial details (cash, burn, runway, last raise) written to a file on disk, since the skill asks for them and stores them locally by default
  • Users who need a complete company profile in one pass: the quick intake leaves Founder Profile and Market & Competition as [not captured], which requires running the separate full cs-onboard interview
  • Anyone expecting it to research or verify the founder's answers; it only records what is told to it

Try asking

  • “/cs-onboard to start the company interview before my first boardroom session”
  • “Set up the virtual C-suite for my new seed-stage SaaS company”
  • “Refresh my company context now that we closed a Series A”
  • “Update company-context.md after our product pivot”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Answer with specific figures and the founder's own wording for the ICP and risks, since advisors rely on those details
  • Leave out any numbers you do not want stored in plain text, or edit the file afterwards
  • Re-run after fundraises, pivots, or roughly every six months so the facts do not drift
