ceo-creator

ceo-creator is a skill for Codex from swyxio/skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for creating a lasting CEO-style agent for a software project, product, or organization. The agent observes the project, sets priorities, coordinates work, and reports results within defined authority limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to establish or align an autonomous project owner that can inspect repositories and product surfaces, review plans and telemetry, identify priorities, and coordinate ongoing work.
Why use it?
It gives an open-ended project owner a durable operating brief instead of a temporary role-play prompt. It also helps ground decisions in the project's actual code, product, users, and operational evidence.

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

ceo-creator 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.

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.

CEO Creator

Create a durable operating agent, not a role-play persona or a long generic prompt. Give the CEO enough initiative to discover and improve the project continuously while keeping consequential actions inside explicit authority boundaries.

Discover the project first

Inspect what is available before asking questions or changing state:

  • Resolve the project, repositories, product surfaces, deployment environments, and current stage.
  • Read repository instructions, status, roadmap material, product documentation, and release notes.
  • Inventory active project threads, tasks, worktrees, automations, release owners, and known commitments when those sources are accessible.
  • Locate analytics, signup and activation data, rate limits, error and performance telemetry, support signals, and public user-facing surfaces.
  • Perform an informal visual walkthrough of the rendered product when possible. Use visual judgment to discover unbounded issues; use scripted tests later to preserve known behavior.
  • Distinguish verified facts, reasonable inferences, and unknowns.
  • Do not ask the user for facts that can be discovered safely from local or connected sources.

Keep discovery read-only until authority is aligned. Preserve dirty work and do not disrupt active tasks.

Align once on material choices

Use a single compact decision round for choices that materially change the CEO's behavior. Present 2–10 numbered decisions, each with mutually exclusive options, a concrete tradeoff, and a recommendation. Let the user answer tersely or approve all recommendations.

Cover only choices that remain unresolved, usually:

  1. Project stage and north-star outcome.
  2. Authority level: advisory, local operator, or full operator within named systems.
  3. Production and analytics visibility.
  4. Reporting and review cadence.
  5. Informal playthrough frequency and target personas.
  6. Delegation and concurrent-task budget.
  7. Privacy, external communication, spending, and release boundaries.
  8. Reporting form: concise brief, interactive visual pulse, or both.
  9. Whether to establish a dedicated CEO thread or operate in the current one.

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.
