Personal Board of Directors

Q: How do I know the Personal Board of Directors output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The five voices are distinguishable blind — cover the names and you can still tell who's who; At least two advisors disagree, and the crux of the disagreement is named; Every vote line names the evidence that would flip it; The decision rule was stated before the count and matches the stakes.

Five standing advisors — the Operator, the Skeptic, the CFO, the Coach, the Customer — debate your decision on paper and vote. Use when asked to help me decide, pressure-test this decision, what would smart advisors say, or convene my board. Produces five distinct advisor memos, a disagreement map, a vote with a stated decision rule, and the one question to resolve before deciding.

What to give it

▸The decision — as a yes/no or A-vs-B; if it arrives vague ("should I do something about X?"), sharpen it into a decidable sentence first and confirm

▸Stakes and reversibility — what's bet, and whether it can be undone

▸Constraints — money, time, obligations, runway

▸What the user is secretly hoping the answer is (optional) — optional — the board should know the bias it's correcting

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The five voices are distinguishable blind — cover the names and you can still tell who's who

✓At least two advisors disagree, and the crux of the disagreement is named

✓Every vote line names the evidence that would flip it

✓The decision rule was stated before the count and matches the stakes

✓The one question is answerable cheaply and quickly, not "do more research"

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not let the advisors agree — forced consensus is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent

Do not give all five the same voice with different hats — the CFO writes in numbers, the Coach doesn't

Do not vote without naming what would flip each vote — an unflippable vote is a prejudice

Do not let the board answer a vague question — sharpen it to decidable first

Do not hide the recommendation in balance — the board exists to conclude, and the user can overrule it
