chief-of-staff-kit

A customisable team of AI agents for Claude Code and Codex. Install a chief-of-staff orchestrator that triages your work and routes it to division leads and specialists — all scaffolded to fit your org through a short interview. No two installs look the same.

What you get

One team shape, instantiated to fit anyone:

                    chief-of-staff            ← triages, routes, synthesises
        ┌───────────────┼───────────────┐
     lead A           lead B           lead C  ← one lead per "division"
        └───────────────┼───────────────┘
                 (any lead pulls in any specialist)
   architect · code-auditor · program-manager · problem-solver
   presentation-writer · voice-scriptwriter · growth-marketer
   product-designer · ops-steward                              ← 9 specialists
   inbox-reader · email-writer · notes-archivist · memory-harvester  ← 4 opt-in comms

A "division" is whatever unit you run: a business, a department, a team, a product line, a client portfolio, or a person you manage. You might have four companies; someone else has two departments and five reports. The installer learns your structure and generates one lead per division, then wires the chief-of-staff to route across exactly that team.

The value isn't the names — it's the operating doctrine baked into each agent: clean-brief delegation, explicit ownership boundaries, "work alone vs convene a council", generator-plus-reviewer pairing, and decisive synthesis instead of a menu of options.

Install (Claude Code)

You need Claude Code. Then it's about two minutes:

1. Add the marketplace:

   /plugin marketplace add skyremote/chief-of-staff-kit
   

2. Install the plugin:

   /plugin install chief-of-staff-kit@skyremote
   

   (Or run /plugin, choose Browse marketplaces, and install chief-of-staff-kit from the menu.)
3. Restart Claude Code (start a new session) so the plugin loads.
4. Tell Claude: install the crew. The installer interviews you (or reads your existing CLAUDE.md), shows you a plan to approve, then writes your agents into your project (.claude/agents/) or globally (~/.claude/agents/).
5. Restart once more, then invoke @chief-of-staff for anything cross-cutting.

Manual install (no marketplace)

git clone https://github.com/skyremote/chief-of-staff-kit
cp -r chief-of-staff-kit/skills/install-crew ~/.claude/skills/

Then ask Claude to install the crew.

Codex

The same personas render for Codex too: each agent becomes an invokable prompt under ~/.codex/prompts/, plus a root AGENTS.md that documents the team and the routing doctrine. Be aware of one honest limitation — Codex has no auto-orchestrating subagent system, so in Codex you invoke the personas manually; the content ports, the automatic delegation does not.

How it works

1. Reads before it asks — if you have a CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, the installer proposes a draft org from it rather than interrogating you cold.
2. Interviews — confirms your divisions, which specialists to include, any integration agents to opt into, your house style, and where to install.
3. Renders — fills the templates, injects your house style into every agent, regenerates the orchestrator's roster, and writes a team README.

Everything is plain Markdown. There's no build step — the "rendering" is the installer model following skills/install-crew/SKILL.md.
