How do I start a consultation with a specific board member?

Use the command followed by the member's name, such as '/bod:consult Naval'. The skill will automatically match the name and load the appropriate persona.

What happens if I ask about a topic outside the persona's expertise?

The persona is instructed to reason from their existing mental frameworks while flagging that they are extrapolating beyond their primary expertise.

Can I add custom members to my Board of Directors?

Yes, you can expand the roster by adding new persona files and context documents to the plugin's directory structure.

Does Claude stay in character during the session?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to prevent Claude from referring to itself as an AI, forcing it to maintain the persona's voice and vocabulary throughout.
