plugins/claude-ops/skills/ops-yolo/SKILL.md
YOLO mode. Spawns 4 parallel C-suite agents (CEO, CTO, CFO, COO). Each analyzes the business from their perspective using ALL available data. Produces unfiltered Hard Truths report. After user types YOLO, autonomously runs the business for a day using /loop.
npx skillsauth add davepoon/buildwithclaude ops-yoloInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Before YOLO analysis, load:

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams instead of fire-and-forget subagents for the C-suite analysis (Phase 2). This enables:
Team setup (only when flag is enabled):
TeamCreate("yolo-csuite")
Agent(team_name="yolo-csuite", name="ceo", subagent_type="ops:yolo-ceo", ...)
Agent(team_name="yolo-csuite", name="cto", subagent_type="ops:yolo-cto", ...)
Agent(team_name="yolo-csuite", name="cfo", subagent_type="ops:yolo-cfo", ...)
Agent(team_name="yolo-csuite", name="coo", subagent_type="ops:yolo-coo", ...)
After initial analysis, use SendMessage(to="cto", content="CFO flagged $400/mo in waste — does this change your tech-debt ranking?") or similar to cross-pollinate findings between peer agents. The main /ops:yolo orchestrator (this skill) then reads all four analysis files (ceo-analysis.md, cto-analysis.md, cfo-analysis.md, coo-analysis.md) and synthesizes them into the Hard Truths report. yolo-ceo is a parallel peer, not the synthesizer.
If the flag is NOT set, fall back to standard parallel subagents (fire-and-forget, no mid-task steering).
Run all of these simultaneously:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-infra 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-git 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-prs 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-ci 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-unread 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

cat "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json" 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

for d in $(jq -r '.projects[] | select(.gsd == true) | .paths[]' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json" 2>/dev/null); do
expanded="${d/#\~/$HOME}"
[ -f "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" ] && echo "=== $(basename $expanded) ===" && cat "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" && echo "---"
done
Spawn these 4 agents simultaneously using all pre-gathered data as context. Each writes their analysis to a file in /tmp/yolo-[session]/:
Uses agents/yolo-ceo.md. Writes /tmp/yolo-[session]/ceo-analysis.md.
Uses agents/yolo-cto.md. Writes /tmp/yolo-[session]/cto-analysis.md.
Uses agents/yolo-cfo.md. Writes /tmp/yolo-[session]/cfo-analysis.md.
Uses agents/yolo-coo.md. Writes /tmp/yolo-[session]/coo-analysis.md.
This skill (the main orchestrator) is the synthesizer — NOT yolo-ceo. After all 4 parallel agents complete and have written their analysis files to /tmp/yolo-[session]/{ceo,cto,cfo,coo}-analysis.md, read all four files here in the main context and synthesize them into a unified report:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
YOLO ► HARD TRUTHS REPORT — [date]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CEO: [1-2 brutal strategic truths]
CTO: [1-2 brutal technical truths]
CFO: [1-2 brutal financial truths]
COO: [1-2 brutal operational truths]
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CONSENSUS: The #1 thing that matters today is:
[single most important action, no sugar-coating]
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Full analysis files saved to:
/tmp/yolo-[session]/ceo-analysis.md
/tmp/yolo-[session]/cto-analysis.md
/tmp/yolo-[session]/cfo-analysis.md
/tmp/yolo-[session]/coo-analysis.md
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Type YOLO to hand over the controls.
I'll run your business autonomously for the next day.
This means: closing inbox, merging ready PRs,
fixing fires, advancing GSD phases, triaging issues.
Or pick an analysis to read:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Use batched AskUserQuestion calls (max 4 options each):
AskUserQuestion call 1:
[Read CEO analysis]
[Read CTO analysis]
[Read CFO analysis]
[More...]
AskUserQuestion call 2 (only if "More..."):
[Read COO analysis]
[Execute top recommendation now]
[Type YOLO to go autonomous]
If user types YOLO (all caps), enter autonomous mode via /loop.
Before starting, use AskUserQuestion to confirm scope:
YOLO mode will autonomously execute these steps:
1. Inbox — reply to humans, archive automated
2. Fires — fix CRITICAL/HIGH production issues
3. PRs — merge ready PRs (CI green, approved)
4. Triage — auto-resolve confirmed-fixed issues
5. GSD — advance highest-priority phase
6. Linear — sync sprint board
7. Deploy — trigger pending deploys
8. Report — summary
[Run all 8 steps] [Pick which steps to run] [Cancel]
If user picks "Pick which steps", show steps as multiSelect via batched AskUserQuestion calls (max 4 options each):
Call 1: [Inbox], [Fires], [PRs], [More steps...]
Call 2 (if "More steps..."): [Triage], [GSD], [Linear], [More steps...]
Call 3 (if "More steps..."): [Deploy], [Report], [Done selecting]
Run the selected steps in sequence, reporting after each step.
Per-step confirmations (use AskUserQuestion before EACH destructive action):
[Send all N replies] / [Review each one] / [Skip inbox] before sending any messages[Dispatch fix agent] / [Skip] before each agent dispatch[Merge all N ready PRs] / [Pick which ones] / [Skip] before merging[Auto-resolve all N confirmed-fixed] / [Review each] / [Skip] before closing[Deploy all] / [Pick which] / [Skip] before triggering[Execute] / [Skip] individually. NEVER batch destructive infra actions.Report-driven execution: When the user approves executing recommendations from the Hard Truths report:
/tmp/yolo-[session]/*.md)⚠️ REQUIRES CONFIRMATIONAskUserQuestion with the exact command that will run, the expected outcome, and the source report (CTO/CFO/COO)After each step, check if new fires have appeared before proceeding. Report final summary when done.
If $ARGUMENTS is analyze or empty, go straight to Phase 1.
If $ARGUMENTS is YOLO, skip to Phase 4.
If $ARGUMENTS is report, skip to Phase 3 (reads existing analysis files if present).
Use TaskCreate at the start of Phase 4 to create a task for each YOLO step. Update with TaskUpdate as each completes. This gives the user a live progress view across the autonomous run.
Before Phase 4 execution, use EnterPlanMode to present the full execution plan. The user reviews what YOLO will do, approves or modifies, then ExitPlanMode to begin execution.
After Phase 4 completes, offer to schedule recurring YOLO via AskUserQuestion:
[Schedule daily YOLO at 9am] [Schedule weekly Monday briefing] [No schedule]
Use CronCreate if selected. Use CronList/CronDelete to manage existing schedules.
When YOLO dispatches fix agents or triggers deploys, use Monitor to stream CI output in real-time instead of polling with sleep loops.
Use WebFetch to pull Grafana dashboards, Sentry event details, or AWS status pages when MCPs are unavailable. Use WebSearch to find context on production errors (e.g., known AWS outages).
tools
Assesses the current state of the startup project and recommends what to focus on next. Use when there is a need or a question from the user to understand what the next steps are or what to focus on next.
data-ai
Use at the start of any conversation about a startup idea, product validation, founder strategy, or work inside a `startup/` workspace. Establishes file conventions, voice-input handling, subagent dispatch rules, and how to update each artifact safely. Activate before invoking any other startup-superpowers skill.
tools
Manages the founder's survey-based validation — crafting the right questions, deploying a survey to the internet, and analyzing results against hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to run a survey, create survey questions, validate hypotheses at scale, check how a survey is going, understand whether a survey is the right tool right now, or deploy a question set to get quantitative signal. Also bring this up if you believe that creating a survey to collect quantitative evidence may be useful at this point.
development
Guides the founder through designing and optionally building the simplest MVP or prototype that validates their current hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to build something to test assumptions, discusses what to build next, wants to interpret results from a live MVP, or is deciding whether the current approach is still right. Also use when a founder proposes something to build — the skill will check whether the proposed form is the simplest thing that generates honest signal.
