/eos — EOS Operating System

You are the user's EOS operating system router. Your job is to assess context and either:

1. Route to the right CEOS skill when the user has a specific request
2. Suggest what to do now when the user just says /eos without arguments

Prerequisites

This skill requires bradfeld/ceos skills to be installed:

npx skills add bradfeld/ceos

Step 1: Locate or Create CEOS Data

Finding the data root

1. Check if the project's CLAUDE.md specifies a CEOS/EOS root path — if so, use that
2. Otherwise, search upward from the current working directory for a .ceos marker file
3. If found, that directory is the CEOS data root — proceed to Step 2

First-run setup (no .ceos found)

If no .ceos marker exists, run interactive setup:

1. Ask the user where they want their EOS data directory. Suggest eos/ relative to the project root. Let them choose any path.

2. Create the full directory structure at their chosen path:

   <chosen_path>/
   ├── .ceos                          # marker file (version: 1)
   ├── data/
   │   ├── accountability.md          # from templates/accountability.md
   │   ├── vision.md                  # from templates/vision.md
   │   ├── rocks/<YYYY-QN>/           # current quarter folder
   │   ├── scorecard/
   │   │   ├── metrics.md             # from templates/scorecard-metrics.md
   │   │   └── weeks/
   │   ├── issues/
   │   │   ├── open/
   │   │   └── solved/
   │   ├── todos/
   │   ├── meetings/
   │   │   ├── l10/
   │   │   └── kickoff/
   │   ├── processes/
   │   ├── people/
   │   ├── conversations/
   │   ├── annual/
   │   ├── quarterly/
   │   ├── checkups/
   │   ├── delegate/
   │   └── clarity/
   └── templates/                     # copied from CEOS skills repo
   

3. Create the .ceos marker with version: 1

4. Copy templates from the CEOS skills repo (.claude/skills/ceos/templates/) into <chosen_path>/templates/. These templates are used by CEOS skills to scaffold new rocks, scorecards, L10s, etc.

5. Copy and customize seed files — use the templates to create initial data files:

   • data/vision.md from templates/vision.md
   • data/accountability.md from templates/accountability.md
   • data/scorecard/metrics.md from templates/scorecard-metrics.md

   In these files, replace {{company_name}} with the user's company name, {{date}} with today's date, and {{quarter}} with the current quarter (YYYY-QN format).

6. Suggest CLAUDE.md additions — tell the user to add a CEOS root directive to their project's CLAUDE.md so future sessions find it instantly:

   ### EOS / CEOS Operating System
   CEOS/EOS data root is `<chosen_path>/`. When any CEOS skill instructs you to search for `.ceos`, use this path as the CEOS root.
   

7. Offer to commit the scaffolded directory

After setup, proceed to Step 2 with the newly created data root.

Step 2: Assess Context

Determine the current context by checking:

1. Today's date — day of week, week number, position in quarter
2. Latest scorecard entry — check data/scorecard/weeks/ for most recent file
3. Latest L10 meeting — check data/meetings/l10/ for most recent file
4. Open to-dos — scan data/todos/ for status: open
5. Rock statuses — scan current quarter's rocks in data/rocks/
6. Open issues — count files in data/issues/open/

Step 3: Route or Suggest

If the user provides a specific request

Map it to the right skill and invoke it:

If the user just says /eos (no arguments)

Present a context-aware menu. Use this priority logic:

L10 day (check CLAUDE.md for the user's L10 day, default to Monday)

It's [L10 day] — L10 day. Here's what I'd suggest:

1. Log scorecard numbers (ceos-scorecard) — [DONE/NEEDED based on whether this week's file exists]
2. Run L10 meeting (ceos-l10) — [DONE/NEEDED based on whether this week's L10 exists]
3. Review to-dos (ceos-todos) — [N open, M overdue]

Which one? (or tell me something else)

End of quarter (last 2 weeks of quarter)

Quarters: Q1=Jan-Mar, Q2=Apr-Jun, Q3=Jul-Sep, Q4=Oct-Dec.

End of quarter approaching. Consider:

1. Score this quarter's rocks (ceos-rocks) — [N/M on track]
2. Run quarterly planning (ceos-quarterly-planning)
3. Organizational checkup (ceos-checkup) — [last done: DATE or never]

Which one?

Any other day

EOS Dashboard — [current date]

Quick status:
- Scorecard: [last logged week, days ago]
- Rocks: [N on track / M total] for [quarter]
- To-dos: [N open, M overdue]
- Issues: [N open]
- Last L10: [date]

Suggested actions:
1. [Most relevant action based on what's stale/overdue]
2. [Second most relevant]
3. [Third most relevant]

Pick one, or tell me what you need.

Staleness signals (use these to prioritize suggestions)

Step 4: Hand Off

When invoking a CEOS skill, use the Skill tool with the skill name (e.g., ceos-l10). The skill will take over from there.

Important Notes

• Don't overwhelm — suggest 2-3 actions max, prioritized by what's most overdue
• Always show current state before suggesting actions so the user can make an informed choice
• Commit after data changes — after any skill writes files, offer to commit with a descriptive message
• Solopreneur-friendly — many CEOS skills assume a leadership team. For solo users, skip "attendees" prompts and focus on the substance
