Total C-suite ecosystem: 134 files, 39,131 lines. * fix: connect all dots — Chief of Staff routes to all 28 skills - Added complementary skills registry to routing-matrix.md - Chief of Staff SKILL.md now lists all 28 skills in ecosystem - Added integration tables to scenario-war-room and competitive-intel - Badge: 116 → 134 skills - README: C-Level Advisory count 10 → 28 Quality audit passed: ✅ All 10 roles: company-context, reasoning, isolation, invocation ✅ All 6 phases in board meeting ✅ Two-layer memory with DO_NOT_RESURFACE ✅ Loop prevention (no self-invoke, max depth 2, no circular) ✅ All /em: commands present ✅ All complementary skills cross-reference roles ✅ Chief of Staff routes to every skill in ecosystem * refactor: CEO + CTO advisors upgraded to C-suite parity Both roles now match the structural standard of all new roles: - CEO: 11.7KB → 6.8KB SKILL.md (heavy content stays in references) - CTO: 10KB → 7.2KB SKILL.md (heavy content stays in references) Added to both: - Integration table (who they work with and when) - Key diagnostic questions - Structured metrics dashboard table - Consistent section ordering (Keywords → Quick Start → Responsibilities → Questions → Metrics → Red Flags → Integration → Reasoning → Context) CEO additions: - Stage-adaptive temporal horizons (seed=3m/6m/12m → B+=1y/3y/5y) - Cross-references to culture-architect and board-deck-builder CTO additions: - Key Questions section (7 diagnostic questions) - Structured metrics table (DORA + debt + team + architecture + cost) - Cross-references to all peer roles All 10 roles now pass structural parity: ✅ Keywords ✅ QuickStart ✅ Questions ✅ Metrics ✅ RedFlags ✅ Integration * feat: add proactive triggers + output artifacts to all 10 roles Every C-suite role now specifies: - Proactive Triggers: 'surface these without being asked' — context-driven early warnings that make advisors proactive, not reactive - Output Artifacts: concrete deliverables per request type (what you ask → what you get) CEO: runway alerts, board prep triggers, strategy review nudges CTO: deploy frequency monitoring, tech debt thresholds, bus factor flags COO: blocker detection, scaling threshold warnings, cadence gaps CPO: retention curve monitoring, portfolio dog detection, research gaps CMO: CAC trend monitoring, positioning gaps, budget staleness CFO: runway forecasting, burn multiple alerts, scenario planning gaps CRO: NRR monitoring, pipeline coverage, pricing review triggers CISO: audit overdue alerts, compliance gaps, vendor risk CHRO: retention risk, comp band gaps, org scaling thresholds Executive Mentor: board prep triggers, groupthink detection, hard call surfacing This transforms the C-suite from reactive advisors into proactive partners. * feat: User Communication Standard — structured output for all roles Defines 3 output formats in agent-protocol/SKILL.md: 1. Standard Output: Bottom Line → What → Why → How to Act → Risks → Your Decision 2. Proactive Alert: What I Noticed → Why It Matters → Action → Urgency (🔴🟡⚪) 3. Board Meeting: Decision Required → Perspectives → Agree/Disagree → Critic → Action Items 10 non-negotiable rules: - Bottom line first, always - Results and decisions only (no process narration) - What + Why + How for every finding - Actions have owners and deadlines ('we should consider' is banned) - Decisions framed as options with trade-offs - Founder is the highest authority — roles recommend, founder decides - Risks are concrete (if X → Y, costs $Z) - Max 5 bullets per section - No jargon without explanation - Silence over fabricated updates All 10 roles reference this standard. Chief of Staff enforces it as a quality gate. Board meeting Phase 4 uses the Board Meeting Output format. * feat: Internal Quality Loop — verification before delivery No role presents to the founder without passing verification: Step 1: Self-Verification (every role, every time) - Source attribution: where did each data point come from? - Assumption audit: [VERIFIED] vs [ASSUMED] tags on every finding - Confidence scoring: 🟢 high / 🟡 medium / 🔴 low per finding - Contradiction check against company-context + decision log - 'So what?' test: every finding needs a business consequence Step 2: Peer Verification (cross-functional) - Financial claims → CFO validates math - Revenue projections → CRO validates pipeline backing - Technical feasibility → CTO validates - People/hiring impact → CHRO validates - Skip for single-domain, low-stakes questions Step 3: Critic Pre-Screen (high-stakes only) - Irreversible decisions, >20% runway impact, strategy changes - Executive Mentor finds weakest point before founder sees it - Suspicious consensus triggers mandatory pre-screen Step 4: Course Correction (after founder feedback) - Approve → log + assign actions - Modify → re-verify changed parts - Reject → DO_NOT_RESURFACE + learn why - 30/60/90 day post-decision review Board meeting contributions now require self-verified format with confidence tags and source attribution on every finding. * fix: resolve PR review issues 1, 4, and minor observation Issue 1: c-level-advisor/CLAUDE.md — completely rewritten - Was: 2 skills (CEO, CTO only), dated Nov 2025 - Now: full 28-skill ecosystem map with architecture diagram, all roles/orchestration/cross-cutting/culture skills listed, design decisions, integration with other domains Issue 4: Root CLAUDE.md — updated all stale counts - 87 → 134 skills across all 3 references - C-Level: 2 → 33 (10 roles + 5 mentor commands + 18 complementary) - Tool count: 160+ → 185+ - Reference count: 200+ → 250+ Minor observation: Documented plugin.json convention - Explained in c-level-advisor/CLAUDE.md that only executive-mentor has plugin.json because only it has slash commands (/em: namespace) - Other skills are invoked by name through Chief of Staff or directly Also fixed: README.md 88+ → 134 in two places (first line + skills section) * fix: update all plugin/index registrations for 28-skill C-suite 1. c-level-advisor/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — v2.0.0 - Was: 2 skills, generic description - Now: all 28 skills listed with descriptions, all 25 scripts, namespace 'cs', full ecosystem description 2. .codex/skills-index.json — added 18 complementary skills - Was: 10 roles only - Now: 28 total c-level entries (10 roles + 6 orchestration + 6 cross-cutting + 6 culture) - Each with full description for skill discovery 3. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — updated c-level-skills entry - Was: generic 2-skill description - Now: v2.0.0, full 28-skill ecosystem description, skills_count: 28, scripts_count: 25 * feat: add root SKILL.md for c-level-advisor ClawHub package --------- Co-authored-by: Leo <leo@openclaw.ai>

Sales Battlecard Template
COMPETITOR: [Name] Last updated: [YYYY-MM-DD] | Owner: [Name] Win rate vs this competitor: [X]% | Deals tracked: [N]
30-Second Summary
[Who they are. Who they target. Why they win. What they're known for. 3-4 sentences max.]
Their Strengths
Know these. Don't dismiss them. Prospects have already heard their pitch.
- [Strength]: [What customers genuinely love; source if available]
- [Strength]: [Specific capability or trait]
- [Strength]: [Brand, market position, or ecosystem advantage]
Their Real Weaknesses
From win/loss data only — not wishful thinking.
- [Weakness]: "[Customer quote]" — seen in [N] deals
- [Weakness]: [Documented limitation with evidence]
- [Weakness]: [Implementation, support, or pricing issue]
Our Differentiated Advantages
Must be real and provable. Each needs a proof point.
- [Advantage]: [Proof: metric / customer quote / case study]
- [Advantage]: [Proof]
- [Advantage]: [Proof]
Common Objections + Responses
"They have [feature X] and you don't."
[Acknowledge. Reframe to your strength. Redirect to outcome. "You're right that they have X. What we've found is that customers who care most about X tend to also care about [Y], where we're significantly stronger. Can I show you [specific example]?"]
"They're cheaper."
[Don't fight on price. Reframe to TCO or ROI. "They are lower in initial cost. Most customers find the total cost over 12 months is actually comparable when you factor in [implementation time / support costs / integrations]. Want to walk through that?"]
"They've been around longer / they're more established."
[Reframe tenure as potential liability or irrelevance. "Their longevity means they have a lot of technical debt and a big customer base that pulls their roadmap in every direction. Our customers tell us that's exactly why they chose us — we move faster and we're laser-focused on [their specific use case]."]
"[Competitor] is already used by [big customer they respect]."
[Name-drop your wins in their segment. "We work with [comparable logo]. Want me to connect you with their [role] to ask how they made the decision?"]
Trap-Setting Questions
Ask early in discovery to establish criteria that favor you.
- "How important is [your key differentiator] to your workflow?"
- "What happens when [their known limitation] occurs? Has that been an issue before?"
- "How long does your team typically take to onboard a new tool?"
- "Who manages the integration work — do you have dedicated engineering resources for that?"
- "What does your current vendor do when you need support?"
When We Win
- [Scenario or segment where we consistently beat them]
- [Use case that plays to our strengths]
- [Buyer profile that prefers us]
When We Lose (Be Honest)
- [Scenario where they genuinely win — don't fight here]
- [Segment where their strengths matter more than ours]
Do NOT Say
- ❌ Don't claim [X] — it's not accurate and they'll check
- ❌ Don't attack [Y] — it backfires and makes us look insecure
- ❌ Don't say "we're better" without specifics — be concrete
