## About

# /cs:boardroom — Multi-Role Boardroom Deliberation

**Command:** `/cs:boardroom `

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.

3. **MEDIUM** —  — Mitigation: 

## 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/`
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
