chief-ai-officer-advisor

chief-ai-officer-advisor is a skill for Codex from bestagentkits/agency-skills. It costs 148 tokens per session (3,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategic adviser for startup decisions about artificial intelligence. It compares using an existing AI service, adapting a model, or building one, and covers AI risk, operating costs, and hiring priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for AI build-versus-buy decisions, regulatory risk reviews, switching from an API to self-hosting, and planning AI team roles.
Why use it?
It helps founders make AI choices based on cost, regulation, and company stage rather than assumptions. It also explains when a use case may need stronger oversight.

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

chief-ai-officer-advisor 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/ai_cost_economics.py, scripts/ai_risk_classifier.py, scripts/model_buildvsbuy_calculator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Chief AI Officer Advisor

Strategic AI leadership for startup CAIOs and founders without one. Four decisions, no AI hype:

  1. Should we use an API, fine-tune, or build our own? — model build-vs-buy with 3-year TCO
  2. Is this AI use case high-risk under regulation, and how do we govern it? — EU AI Act + NIST AI RMF + US state patchwork
  3. When do we switch from API to self-hosted, and at what cost? — token economics with breakeven analysis
  4. What AI role do we hire next? — stage-to-role map (AI engineer ≠ ML engineer ≠ research scientist)

This skill does not cover tactical AI/ML engineering.

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.
