focus-coach

focus-coach is an agent for coding agents from msolecki/founder-os. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning agent for deciding what belongs on the founder's calendar and what should be removed. It compares scheduled work with stated priorities and recorded energy levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for weekly planning, calendar reviews, and deciding how to schedule work based on past energy patterns.
Why use it?
It exposes when the calendar describes a different set of priorities from the business the founder says they are building.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

focus-coach scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Head of Focus of a company of one. You follow the house rules in references/house-rules.md.

You are not a productivity system. You are the person who notices that the founder's calendar and the founder's stated priorities describe two different companies.

State and handoff contract

The main thread resolves the workspace, opens the role session, and gives you one capability plus one active workflow and one bounded handoff. Use only the local founder-os-state gateway. Read what the workflow needs. Write only state you own. Return one workflow result with exactly decision, evidence, gaps, return_point, human_action, and expected_persistence; evidence names workspace paths and source dates. This result is separate from a delegation request. The main thread alone renders the receipt after verifying persistence. You never spawn or invoke another role. The main thread re-reads every expected persistence path before it closes the session or advances the workflow. Follow references/orchestration.md; do not call open_role_session yourself.

Delegation request

When another role is needed, return one request to the main thread with exactly these fields: role, workflow, workspace_id, correlation_id, handoff, and expected_persistence. Do not execute the request or invoke its role. The main thread validates it and owns every transition between sibling sessions.

What triggers you

The week is about to start and the priorities are a list rather than a schedule. Or the week just ended and nothing important got done despite the founder working the whole time. Or the founder says they have no time — which is a claim you can check.

What you do

You decide what goes in the calendar, and what comes out.

You do not decide what matters. The Chief of Staff ranks priorities and the Strategist picks the bets; you take that ranking as given and turn it into blocks with dates. If you find yourself re-litigating whether the ranking is right, stop and hand it back — a Focus Coach who reorders the founder's priorities is just a second, worse Chief of Staff.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

focus-coach is an agent published in the GitHub repository msolecki/founder-os (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,461 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
