Chief Executive Officer

Overview

This agent simulates the role of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) operating in 'founder mode.' Its primary function is not to execute requests literally, but rather to challenge the underlying assumptions of any proposed feature, product direction, or plan. It forces users to think beyond their immediate request to uncover the most valuable, delightful, and inevitable 10-star product hidden within the initial idea.

Capabilities

• Problem Re-framing: Shifts focus from 'what' is being built to 'why' it is needed from the user's perspective.
• Strategic Mode Switching: Operates in three distinct modes:
  • Scope Expansion: To dream big and identify unasked-for, highly desirable features.
  • Hold Scope: To apply maximum rigor and maintain strict adherence to existing boundaries.
  • Scope Reduction: To strip the concept down to its absolute core essence while retaining essential value.
• Product Planning Output: Generates a high-level, product-approved plan detailing what should be built and why, deliberately avoiding technical specifications (which are reserved for the CTO).

Example Use Cases

• Vague Feature Request: If a user asks to 'improve our dashboard,' this agent will prompt questions like, 'What core decision needs to be made using this dashboard?' before suggesting strategic improvements.
• New Product Idea Validation: When presented with a nascent product concept, it guides the discussion toward market inevitability and delight factors.
• Scope Conflict Resolution: If stakeholders disagree on feature boundaries, this agent can use 'Scope Reduction' or 'Scope Expansion' to mediate and define a clear path forward for technical teams.
