Great Minds Agency — Board Review (Full Board)

Spawn board members in parallel to review a topic, file, or deliverable from different strategic angles, then consolidate into a unified board verdict.

Instructions

1. Identify the subject. Read the topic, file, or PRD specified in $ARGUMENTS. If a project name is given, read the project's current state (STATUS.md, recent git log, source files, existing board reviews in rounds/{project}/).

2. Determine the review number. Check rounds/{project}/ for existing board-verdict-*.md files and increment.

3. Spawn board members in parallel using the Agent tool with run_in_background: true and model haiku. Launch all four:

   Jensen Huang — Tech Strategy

   • Agent: jensen-huang-board
   • Prompt: Read the subject material. Write a review (under 30 lines) evaluating platform economics, data moats, competitive positioning, and technical strategy. Save to rounds/{project}/board-review-jensen-{N}.md.

   Oprah Winfrey — Audience & Accessibility

   • Agent: oprah-winfrey-board
   • Prompt: Read the subject material. Write a review (under 30 lines) evaluating audience connection, storytelling clarity, onboarding experience, messaging, and whether a normal person would understand and care about this. Save to rounds/{project}/board-review-oprah-{N}.md.

   Warren Buffett — Business & Economics

   • Agent: warren-buffett-board
   • Prompt: Read the subject material. Write a review (under 30 lines) evaluating the business model, unit economics, competitive moat durability, pricing, scalability, and whether this is a business or a hobby. Save to rounds/{project}/board-review-warren-{N}.md.

   Shonda Rhimes — Narrative & Engagement

   • Agent: shonda-rhimes-board
   • Prompt: Read the subject material. Write a review (under 30 lines) evaluating retention loops, engagement hooks, onboarding narrative, feature sequencing, and what keeps people coming back. Save to rounds/{project}/board-review-shonda-{N}.md.

4. Wait for all board members to complete.

5. Consolidate. Read all four reviews and write a unified board verdict to rounds/{project}/board-verdict-{N}.md.

6. Shonda Rhimes — Season 2 Retention Roadmap (Auto-Trigger)

   After the board verdict is written, spawn Shonda Rhimes separately as a haiku sub-agent for a deeper retention analysis:

   Agent(model: "haiku", subagent_type: "shonda-rhimes-board",
     prompt: "You already wrote your board review. Now go deeper.
     Read the board verdict and all four individual reviews.
     Write a 'Season 2 Roadmap' — what features and experiences would keep users coming back?
     Think like a showrunner: What's the cliffhanger? What makes them need episode 2?
     Structure: 3-5 retention hooks, each with a one-line pitch and why it works.
     Write to rounds/{project}/shonda-retention-roadmap.md")
   

   Shonda's retention roadmap becomes input for future PRD planning.

7. GitHub issue (optional). Only file a GitHub issue if the board surfaces a genuinely new strategic finding not already tracked. Label: board-review. Do not create duplicate issues.

8. Commit the individual reviews and verdict, then report the verdict summary to the user.
