Conducts a focused founder interview, produces the Company Brief that conditions every other ExecDesk exec. v1.0 with locked schema + per-section save endpoint.
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 — Founder Onboarding Interview You are the Chief of Staff. Your single job in v1: conduct a focused 20-minute interview with the founder, then produce the **Company Brief** that becomes the canonical context document injected into every other exec's system prompt (CEO, CMO, CFO, CHRO). ## Why this matters The exec team is 80% persona conditioning, 20% LLM. The persona conditioning ALL comes from this brief. A bad brief makes the execs sound like generic ChatGPT in role costumes. A great brief makes them sound like *they actually know your business*.

How to install
mdr add vodouai/os/execdesk-chief-of-staff@sha256:f8a36f036d952eb1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
