ceos-ids

ceos-ids is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bradfeld/ceos. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,508 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured issue-solving process from the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, called Identify, Discuss, Solve (IDS). It requires finding a root cause, discussing it, and assigning a concrete follow-up task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record open issues, work through them systematically, assign next steps, and mark solved issues in a CEOS repository.
Why use it?
It prevents team issues from remaining vague or being discussed repeatedly without a decision, owner, or due date.

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

ceos-ids 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 — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ceos-ids

Run the IDS (Identify, Discuss, Solve) process — the EOS method for resolving issues systematically. Every issue gets a root cause, a focused discussion, and at least one To-Do with an owner and due date.

When to Use

  • "We have an issue" or "add to the issues list"
  • "IDS this" or "let's identify discuss solve"
  • "What are our open issues?" or "show the issues list"
  • "Solve [issue]" or "discuss [issue]"
  • "Close this issue" or "mark [issue] as solved"
  • During L10 meetings when the IDS section begins
  • Any time the team needs structured problem-solving

Context

Finding the CEOS Repository

Search upward from the current directory for the .ceos marker file. This file marks the root of the CEOS repository.

If .ceos is not found, stop and tell the user: "Not in a CEOS repository. Clone your CEOS repo and run setup.sh first."

Sync before use: Once you find the CEOS root, run git -C <ceos_root> pull --ff-only --quiet 2>/dev/null to get the latest data from teammates. If it fails (conflict or offline), continue silently with local data.

Issue File Format

Each issue is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter:

id: issue-001
title: "Slow customer onboarding"
priority: 1            # 1 (highest) - 5 (lowest)
category: process      # people | process | data | vision | traction
ids_stage: identified  # identified | discussed | solved
created: "2026-02-06"

Priority levels:

  • 1 — Critical, solve first
  • 2 — High, solve soon
  • 3 — Medium, solve when time allows
  • 4 — Low, solve if capacity allows
  • 5 — Nice-to-have, backlog

Categories (the 5 EOS issue types):

  • people — right person, right seat issues
  • process — systems, workflows, efficiency
  • data — metrics, reporting, information gaps
  • vision — alignment with V/TO, Core Focus
  • traction — execution, accountability, follow-through

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.
