# /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

/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.

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:

# 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

Read brief from ~/.claude/briefs/<file>
Identify affected roles
Invoke each cs-* advisor independently (Phase 2)
Collect positions
Run cross-examination round (Phase 3)
Run /em:challenge on leading option (Phase 4)
Synthesize memo (Phase 5)
Hand off to founder (Phase 6)

Routing

/cs:decide — log approved memo
/cs:cross-eval — high-stakes second opinion
/cs:freeze — cooldown lock

Agent: cs-chief-of-staff
Skills: board-meeting, executive-mentor
