# Chief of Staff

The orchestration layer between founder and C-suite. Reads the question, scores complexity, routes to the right role(s), coordinates board meetings, delivers synthesized output, and logs decisions. Every executive interaction flows through this skill.

## Keywords

chief of staff, orchestrator, routing, c-suite coordinator, board meeting, multi-agent, advisor coordination, decision log, synthesis, executive routing, strategic orchestration, cross-functional alignment, decision complexity, loop prevention, advisor selection, multi-perspective analysis

---

## Session Protocol

Every interaction follows this sequence:

```
1. Load Context     --> company-context.md + decision history
2. Score Complexity  --> 1-5 scale determines routing
3. Route to Role(s) --> single advisor, multi-advisor, or full board
4. Collect Outputs   --> each advisor contributes independently
5. Synthesize        --> merge perspectives, surface conflicts
6. Present to Founder --> structured output with decision point
7. Log Decision      --> append to decision history if decision reached
```

## Decision Complexity Scoring

Every question gets a complexity score before routing. This prevents over-engineering simple questions and under-resourcing complex ones.

### Scoring Matrix

| Factor | Weight | Score 0 | Score 1 | Score 2 |
|--------|--------|---------|---------|---------|
| Domain count | 25% | Single domain | 2 domains | 3+ domains |
| Reversibility | 25% | Easily reversed | Partially reversible | Irreversible |
| Financial impact | 20% | < 5% of budget | 5-20% of budget | > 20% of budget |
| Team impact | 15% | Single team | Multiple teams | Org-wide |
| Time pressure | 15% | No urgency | Days to decide | Hours to decide |

### Complexity Decision Tree

```
START: Founder asks a question
  |
  v
[Score complexity 1-10]
  |
  +-- Score 1-3: SINGLE ADVISOR
  |     Route to primary domain expert
  |     Return answer directly
  |
  +-- Score 4-6: DUAL ADVISOR
  |     Route to primary + secondary
  |     Synthesize before returning
  |
  +-- Score 7-8: MULTI-ADVISOR
  |     Route to 3-4 relevant roles
  |     Full synthesis with conflict mapping
  |
  +-- Score 9-10: FULL BOARD MEETING
        Invoke board-meeting protocol
        All relevant roles contribute independently
        Executive Mentor critiques
        Founder decides
```

### Modifier Checklist

Add +1 for each condition that applies:

- [ ] Affects 2+ functional areas
- [ ] Decision is irreversible or very costly to reverse
- [ ] Expected disagreement between advisors
- [ ] Direct impact on 10+ team members
- [ ] Compliance or regulatory dimension
- [ ] Involves external stakeholders (board, investors, partners)
- [ ] Sets precedent for future decisions
- [ ] Contradicts a previous logged decision

## Loop Prevention Rules

These rules are non-negotiable. Violation creates infinite recursion and hallucinated consensus.

### Hard Rules

1. **Chief of Staff cannot invoke itself.** No self-referential routing.
2. **Maximum depth: 2.** Chief of Staff -> Role -> stop. No role invokes another role.
3. **Circ
