Chief of StaffAI chief of staff setup with clear guardrails

Chief of Staff is a Clone skill that sets the operating boundaries and setup playbook for an executive chief of staff clone. Executives and chiefs of staff use it to define what the clone may do on its own, set up its operating cadence and onboard it safely before it takes on real work. It needs no app connection to get started.

Works out of the box. No app to connect.

Set up my chief of staff clone. I want weekly priorities and a Friday wrap, but nothing sent to the board without me.

Here's the operating cadence and boundaries. Board communication is marked as approval-only, and I added a two-week onboarding period before anything runs on its own.

Chief of staff operating setupDraft for your approval
  • Cadence: Monday priorities, Friday wrap-up
  • May do alone: prepare agendas, track action items
  • Needs approval: anything sent to the board or investors
  • Never: commit budget or speak for you externally
  • Onboarding: two weeks with daily review

Ask in plain words

No forms, no workflow builder. Ask your clone the way you'd ask a teammate.

    Define the cadence

    Choose the weekly rhythm, such as Monday priorities and a Friday wrap-up.

  3. 3

Chief of Staff: questions

What is an AI chief of staff setup?

It is the playbook that defines how an AI chief of staff works for an executive. With Clone, this skill sets the operating cadence, decides what the clone may do and onboards it safely.

Do I need to connect an app?

No. Chief of Staff works without an app connection. It sets the rules and rhythm your clone follows; other skills handle email, calendar or documents.

Which clones use Chief of Staff?

Chief of staff and executive clones use it, usually when an executive first hires a chief of staff clone.

How do I control what the clone does?

You set the boundaries here, and clones are default-deny with object-level permissions on top. Every action is logged, so you can review what your chief of staff clone did and why.

What does safe onboarding look like?

Your clone starts with close review on its work. As you approve its output, you can widen what it handles on its own.
