---# /cs:onboard — Founder Interview
**Command:** `/cs:onboard`
The first command to run when adopting c-level-agents. A structured founder interview that produces `~/.claude/company-context.md` — the file every cs-* advisor reads before responding. Without this, the advisors are guessing.
## What This Produces
`~/.claude/company-context.md` — a single file with the durable facts about the company. Read by:
- `cs-chief-of-staff` (routing decisions)
- Every cs-* advisor (context for any question)
- `/cs:brief` (assumptions in any new decision)
## The Interview (12 Questions)
### Company Basics
1. **Company name and one-sentence pitch.**
2. **Stage:** pre-seed / seed / Series A / Series B / Series C+ / public
3. **Headcount:** total, by function (eng / product / GTM / ops / G&A)
4. **Geographic distribution:** HQ + remote split, key countries
### Business Model
5. **Revenue model:** SaaS subscription / usage / transaction / marketplace / hardware / services
**Canonical schema:** `~/.claude/company-context.md` is owned by the [`cs-onboard`](../../../skills/cs-onboard/SKILL.md) skill and follows its 7-dimension schema (`../../../skills/cs-onboard/templates/company-context-template.md`): Company Identity, Stage & Scale, Founder Profile, Team & Culture, Market & Competition, Current Challenges, Goals & Ambition. The 12 questions above are a faster structured intake that populates that same file — Identity/Business/Financial → Stage & Scale, Team → Team & Culture, Quarter priorities/risks → Current Challenges + Goals & Ambition. Write `[not captured]` for dimensions the quick intake doesn't reach (Founder Profile, Market & Competition); run the full `cs-onboard` interview to fill them. Never create a second context file or a divergent layout.
