Loads and manages company context for all C-suite advisor skills. Reads ~/.claude/company-context.md, detects stale context (>90 days), enriches context during conversations, and enforces privacy/anonymization rules before external API calls.
The memory layer for C-suite advisors. Every advisor skill loads this first. Context is what turns generic advice into specific insight.

Step 1 — Check for context file: ~/.claude/company-context.md
Step 2 — Check staleness: Read Last updated field.
[STALE — last updated DATE] noted internally.Step 3 — Parse into working memory. Always active:
| Condition | Confidence | Action |
|---|---|---|
| < 30 days, full interview | High | Use directly |
| 30–90 days, update done | Medium | Use, flag what may have changed |
| > 90 days | Low | Flag stale, prompt refresh |
| Key fields missing | Low | Ask in-session |
| No file | None | Prompt /cs:setup |
If Low: "My context is [stale/incomplete] — I'm assuming [X]. Correct me if I'm wrong."
During conversations, you'll learn things not in the file. Capture them.
Triggers: New number or timeline revealed, key person mentioned, priority shift, constraint surfaces.
Protocol:
[CONTEXT UPDATE: {what was learned}]Never silently overwrite. Always confirm before modifying the context file.
Apply references/anonymization-protocol.md:
Handle gracefully — never block the conversation.
Required:
- Last updated (date)
- Company Identity → What we do
- Stage & Scale → Stage
- Founder Profile → Founder archetype
- Current Challenges → Priority #1
- Goals & Ambition → 12-month target
High-value optional:
- Unfair advantage
- Kill-shot risk
- Avoided decision
- Watch list
Missing required fields: note gaps, work around in session, ask in-session only when critical.
