# /cs:boardroom — Multi-Role Boardroom Deliberation **Command:** `/cs:boardroom <brief-path>` Runs the `board-meeting` skill protocol across the C-suite for a single strategy brief. This is the **heart of the plugin** — the multi-role deliberation that gstack's review chain only approximates. ## Pipeline Position ``` /cs:office-hours → /cs:brief → /cs:boardroom → /cs:decide → /cs:execute → /cs:post-mortem ↑ you are here ``` ## The 6 Phases (from board-meeting skill) ### Phase 1 — Briefing - Chief of Staff distributes the brief to all advisors marked in **Affected Roles**. - Each advisor reads company-context.md + the brief. - No discussion yet. ### Phase 2 — Independent Thinking (ISOLATION) - **Critical:** each advisor produces their position **independently**, without seeing others' positions. - This prevents groupthink and surfaces dissent. - Each writes: their voice's opening, recommendation, top 3 concerns, top 3 supports. ### Phase 3 — Cross-Examination - Positions revealed simultaneously. - Each advisor critiques the others' positions on the dimensions they own: - cs-cfo-advisor critiques the math - cs-ciso-advisor critiques the risk - cs-cpo-advisor critiques the JTBD - cs-cmo-advisor critiques the positioning - cs-cro-advisor critiques the revenue math - etc. ### Phase 4 — Devil's Advocate Pass - `executive-mentor/devils-advocate` agent runs `/em:challenge` on the leading option. - Surfaces three concerns with severity ratings. ### Phase 5 — Synthesis - Chief of Staff synthesizes: which option commands majority, what are unresolved dissents. - Produces the **board memo** with recommendation + dissent. ### Phase 6 — Decision Hand-off - Memo is presented to the founder. - Founder accepts, modifies, or rejects. - Approved memo routes to `/cs:decide` for logging. ## Output: Board Memo Saved to `~/.claude/boardroom/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`: ```markdown # Board Memo: <topic> **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD **Brief:** <link to /cs:brief file> **Status:** AWAITING FOUNDER DECISION | APPROVED | REJECTED ## Question [One sentence from the brief] ## Recommended Option **<Option name>** — chosen because <synthesis reasoning> ## Vote Tally | Advisor | Vote | One-Sentence Reason | |---|---|---| | cs-ceo-advisor | A | <reason> | | cs-cfo-advisor | A | <reason> | | cs-cto-advisor | B | <reason> | | ... | | | ## Dissent - **<dissenter>:** <unresolved concern> ## Devil's Advocate Concerns 1. **CRITICAL** — <concern> — Mitigation: <plan> 2. **HIGH** — <concern> — Mitigation: <plan> 3. **MEDIUM** — <concern> — Mitigation: <plan> ## Success & Kill Criteria [Copied from brief, refined by the panel] ## Recommended Decision Path - `/cs:decide` → log the decision - `/cs:execute` → 90-day plan - `/cs:cross-eval` → multi-model sanity check (optional, high-stakes) - `/cs:freeze N` → cooldown lock (optional, irreversible) ``` ## Why Phase 2 Isolation Matters If advisors see each other's positions before forming their own, they anchor. Phase 2 isolation is the single highest-leverage practice in the board-meeting protocol — it surfaces the dissents that sycophancy would have suppressed. ## Why This Beats gstack's Review Chain | | gstack `/autoplan` | `/cs:boardroom` | |---|---|---| | Roles | CEO → design → eng (3) | Up to 10 C-roles | | Order | Sequential | Phase 2 isolation, then simultaneous | | Dissent capture | Implicit | Explicit dissent column | | Adversarial pass | No | Phase 4 devil's advocate | | Output | Reviewed plan | Voted memo with dissent + kill criteria | ## Workflow 1. Read brief from `~/.claude/briefs/<file>` 2. Identify affected roles 3. Invoke each cs-* advisor independently (Phase 2) 4. Collect positions 5. Run cross-examination round (Phase 3) 6. Run `/em:challenge` on leading option (Phase 4) 7. Synthesize memo (Phase 5) 8. Hand off to founder (Phase 6) ## Routing - `/cs:decide` — log approved memo - `/cs:cross-eval` — high-stakes second opinion - `/cs:freeze` — cooldown lock ## Related - Agent: [`cs-chief-of-staff`](../../agents/cs-chief-of-staff.md) - Skills: [`board-meeting`](../../../skills/board-meeting/SKILL.md), [`executive-mentor`](../../../executive-mentor/) --- **Version:** 1.0.0
