startup-os

startup-os is a skill for Claude Code from jordantplows/claude-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A company-running setup in which separate AI agents act as roles such as CEO, finance, product, legal, and risk review, sharing decisions through a company state file. The founder remains the only human and answers questions raised by the agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a company from an idea, ask the company questions, receive cross-department decisions, and maintain a living roadmap through agent processes.
Why use it?
It gives an ongoing project a way to distribute decisions across business areas while keeping shared state. It is intended to run inside Claude Code rather than merely producing a one-time business document.

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

startup-os 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (skill-handler.ts), 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.

startup-os · company runtime

This is not a document generator. This is a company operating system.

When you run /startup-os build you instantiate a living company where AI agents are parallel processes coordinating through shared state in company.os.json.

The CEO agent doesn't write a CEO document — it acts as CEO. The legal agent doesn't generate templates — it watches every decision. The product agent doesn't produce a roadmap PDF — it maintains the living roadmap.

The founder is the only human. Their job is to answer questions agents surface.

Commands

/startup-os build ""

Instantiate a new company from an idea string.

Process:

  1. Parse the idea and ask 3 clarifying questions
  2. Spawn all agents in parallel (CEO, CFO, Product, Legal, Red Team, etc.)
  3. Each agent initializes its domain knowledge for this company
  4. CEO gives first briefing with cross-department status
  5. Company runs continuously in Claude Code

/startup-os ask

Talk to your company. Message is routed to relevant agents who respond.

Examples:

  • /startup-os ask what should I work on today
  • /startup-os ask legal, what are you watching
  • /startup-os ask give me the product roadmap
  • /startup-os ask red team, what's my biggest risk

/startup-os status

Get a briefing from the CEO on current company state:

  • What the company is focused on
  • What each department is doing (specific activities)
  • Pending decisions that need founder input
  • Important signals worth knowing
  • CEO's recommendation for today

/startup-os agents

List all active agents with their current state:

  • Status (watching, deciding, steering, blocked)
  • Current focus
  • Last action taken
  • Pending decisions

/startup-os reset

Clear all company state and start over. Use when pivoting or restarting.

How It Works

company.os.json — Shared State

Every agent reads this before acting. Every agent writes to it after acting. It's the nervous system of the company.

Contains:

  • Company profile (identity, stage, customers, problem)
  • Department states (status, focus, memory, signals)
  • Decisions in flight (questions waiting for answers)
  • Events (how agents trigger each other)
  • MCP connections (external tools wired in)
  • Founder input log

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
