Exec cockpit (template)

Keeps a leadership role from crushing the person holding it. Four sub-deliverables — drafts only for anything external; the human sends (guardrail).

1. Handoff doc + decision-rights map (do first)

One page, agreed with the outgoing leader before they leave. Output: HTML styled with brand-assets/ (via tools/render_brand_html.py). Decision rights: what you decide alone vs. escalate (major spend, hiring/firing, board-level, anything structural).

2. "Open loops" tracker

Every thread the outgoing leader holds that could drop (key relationships, partner deals, board/investor threads). Status + next touch + owner. Refresh weekly.

3. Team-comms cadence

Set the recurring update rhythm (e.g. weekly all-hands). Prep agenda + talking points so the team feels led; draft the async recap (internal send ok; nothing external without approval).

4. Recurring report drafter

The periodic update you owe (board/investor/leadership). Pull live numbers at draft time; persist none to git; reproduce your branded layout. Draft only — never auto-send. See references/sops/wf-investor-update.md.

All of CLAUDE.md. Especially: no confidential figures in the repo, draft-never-send external, cite-don't-invent. Needs brand-assets/ filled for branded HTML output.
