--- name: c-suite-onboarding description: Use when no company-profile.md exists in the project root, or when the user wants to update their business profile. Runs a guided survey to capture the founder's actual knowledge about their business. --- # C-Suite Onboarding ## Overview Guided survey that captures what the founder actually knows about their business. Writes a structured `company-profile.md` that all c-suite skills read on load. **Core principle:** Record facts from the founder. Never fabricate, assume, or fill in gaps with plausible-sounding guesses. If the founder doesn't know something, record "Not yet determined" — that gap itself is valuable signal for the c-suite. ## When to Use - No `company-profile.md` exists in the project root - User says they want to update or redo their company profile - Another c-suite skill detects the profile is missing and invokes this ## Process ```dot digraph onboarding { "company-profile.md exists?" [shape=diamond]; "Ask: Update or start fresh?" [shape=box]; "User says update" [shape=box]; "User says fresh" [shape=box]; "Run 10-question survey" [shape=box]; "Write company-profile.md" [shape=box]; "Confirm to user" [shape=doublecircle]; "company-profile.md exists?" -> "Run 8-question survey" [label="no"]; "company-profile.md exists?" -> "Ask: Update or start fresh?" [label="yes"]; "Ask: Update or start fresh?" -> "User says update"; "Ask: Update or start fresh?" -> "User says fresh"; "User says update" -> "Run 8-question survey"; "User says fresh" -> "Run 8-question survey"; "Run 8-question survey" -> "Write company-profile.md"; "Write company-profile.md" -> "Confirm to user"; } ``` ## Survey Questions Ask **one question at a time** using the AskUserQuestion tool. Do NOT batch questions. ### Question 1: Business Category ``` header: "Category" question: "What type of business are you building?" options: - label: "SaaS / Software" description: "Software product sold as a subscription or license" - label: "E-commerce / DTC" description: "Selling physical or digital products directly to consumers" - label: "Services / Consulting" description: "Client-based work — agencies, freelancing, consulting" - label: "Marketplace" description: "Connecting buyers and sellers, taking a cut" ``` User can also select "Other" and type their own. ### Question 2: Business Stage ``` header: "Stage" question: "What stage is your business at?" options: - label: "Idea / Pre-revenue" description: "No paying customers yet" - label: "Early revenue (< $1M ARR)" description: "Some customers, finding product-market fit" - label: "Growth ($1M - $10M ARR)" description: "Product-market fit found, scaling" - label: "Scale ($10M+ ARR)" description: "Established business, optimizing" ``` ### Question 3: Revenue Model ``` header: "Revenue" question: "How does (or will) your business make money?" options: - label: "Subscription" description: "Recurring monthly or annual payments" - label: "One-time sales" description: "Single purchase per transaction" - label: "Freemium" description: "Free tier with paid upgrades" - label: "Usage-based" description: "Pay per use, API calls, transactions, etc." ``` ### Question 4: Team Size ``` header: "Team" question: "How many people are on your team?" options: - label: "Solo" description: "Just you" - label: "2-5" description: "Small founding team" - label: "6-20" description: "Early team with some specialization" - label: "21-50" description: "Growing organization" ``` ### Question 5: Core Product/Service ``` header: "Product" question: "Describe your core product or service. What does it do and who is it for?" ``` This is a free-form question — use AskUserQuestion with no options (user types freely via "Other"). Provide two options to guide them: ``` options: - label: "Let me describe it" description: "I'll type a description of my product/service" ``` The user will select "Other" and type their description, or select the option and elaborate. ### Question 6: Key Challenges ``` header: "Challenges" question: "What are your biggest challenges right now? Select all that apply." multiSelect: true options: - label: "Product-market fit" description: "Figuring out if people want what you're building" - label: "Customer acquisition" description: "Getting users/customers" - label: "Fundraising" description: "Raising capital" - label: "Hiring" description: "Finding and retaining talent" - label: "Profitability" description: "Making the numbers work" - label: "Scaling operations" description: "Systems and processes breaking as you grow" - label: "Competition" description: "Competing against established players" ``` ### Question 7: Long-Term Vision ``` header: "Vision" question: "What is your long-term vision? Where does this business ultimately go?" ``` Free-form. Provide one guiding option: ``` options: - label: "Let me describe my vision" description: "I'll share where I see this business in 3-5+ years" ``` ### Question 8: 3-Month Objectives ``` header: "Objectives" question: "What are your concrete objectives for the next 3 months?" ``` Free-form. Provide one guiding option: ``` options: - label: "Let me list my objectives" description: "I'll describe what I want to achieve in the next quarter" ``` ### Question 9: Founder Status ``` header: "Your Status" question: "What's your current primary situation?" options: - label: "Employed full-time elsewhere" description: "Working at another company while building this" - label: "Dedicated founder" description: "Full-time on this project" - label: "Student" description: "In school while building this" - label: "Freelance / Consulting" description: "Independent contractor; this is a side or primary project" ``` User can also select "Other" and describe their situation. ### Question 10: Location ``` header: "Location" question: "Where are you based? Country and state/region — this shapes legal and compliance context." options: - label: "Let me specify" description: "I'll type my country and state/region" - label: "Skip for now" description: "I'll add this to company-profile.md manually later" ``` ## Writing company-profile.md After all 10 questions, write the profile to `company-profile.md` in the project root using this exact template. Only include what the founder actually said. Mark anything not provided as "Not yet determined." ```markdown # Company Profile > Generated by c-suite-onboarding. This file is read by all c-suite skills. > Last updated: [DATE] ## Business Overview | Field | Details | |-------|---------| | **Category** | [from Q1] | | **Stage** | [from Q2] | | **Revenue Model** | [from Q3] | | **Team Size** | [from Q4] | ## Founder Context | Field | Details | |-------|---------| | **Status** | [from Q9] | | **Location** | [from Q10] | > Roles: use status and location to infer relevant constraints — IP ownership risks, applicable compliance (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA), tax implications, employer agreements. Do not apply a fixed checklist; reason from what's actually here. ## Product / Service [from Q5 — founder's own words, lightly formatted] ## Key Challenges [from Q6 — bulleted list] ## Long-Term Vision [from Q7 — founder's own words] ## 3-Month Objectives [from Q8 — founder's own words, formatted as a list if appropriate] ``` **Rules for writing the profile:** - Use the founder's own words. Do not rephrase, elaborate, or "improve" their answers. - Do NOT add sections the founder didn't provide information for (no market sizing, no competitive analysis, no financial projections). - Do NOT fabricate or assume anything. If information is missing, it's missing. - Keep it concise. This is a reference document, not a business plan. ## After Writing Tell the user: "Company profile saved to company-profile.md. You can update it anytime by invoking this skill again."
