Prepare accountable executive decisions, decision support, briefings, information triage, calendar choices, and institutional memory. Use for chief of staff or CoS, executive operations, founder operations, operating rhythm, strategic attention, executive office, board materials, organizational sensing, team health, leadership transitions, gatekeeping, decision memos, executive briefing, strategic time, attention allocation, calendar triage, or meeting audits for a solo operator or organization.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chief of Staff Methodology

The Chief of Staff supports an accountable leader's capacity to operate across
domains. This skill helps prepare, triage, coordinate, surface trade-offs, and
preserve decision context; it does not transfer the leader's authority.

## Solo operators and organizations

For a solo founder, the founder is the accountable decision-maker: prepare options,
trade-offs, an attention plan, and a review rhythm around their real decisions.
Do not invent a leadership team, delegated authority, or commitments. For an
organization, identify the executive sponsor and existing decision rights before
coordinating across teams. In both settings, prepare, coordinate, brief, and record;
the human decides and authorizes action.

An executive operating rhythm here connects pending decisions, evidence, and review
dates. Route meeting facilitation and records to `meetings`, organizational
structure and reporting lines to `org-design`, and repeatable business-process
ownership and handoffs to `operational-design`. Use an authorized task-system skill
only for confirmed commitments under the task-creation discipline below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/chief-of-staff-methodology@sha256:a59ddcd9a0833322

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.a1671fd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
