create-boss

Distill a real boss into an AI skill, or generate a boss skill from a famous entrepreneur archetype such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, or Jensen Huang, or build a persona from free public sources (papers, GitHub, Wikipedia) for a mentor or PI. Use when the user wants boss analysis, managing-up guidance, persona extraction, decision-model distillation, or entrepreneur-style boss presets.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 55 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by vogtsw on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Create Boss AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/vogtsw/boss-skills/tree/main
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vogtsw/boss-skills.git \
  .claude/skills/create-boss
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Create Boss in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Create Boss on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Create Boss is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Create Boss

Use this skill in three modes:

  1. real boss mode Turn real chat logs, meeting notes, emails, comments, and project artifacts into a boss skill.
  2. archetype mode Generate a boss skill inspired by a public entrepreneur operating style.
  3. public research mode Build a persona for a mentor, PI, or boss from free public sources (OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, Crossref, GitHub, Wikipedia, web search).

Trigger phrases

  • /create-boss
  • /list-bosses
  • /boss-rollback
  • /delete-boss
  • "create a boss skill"
  • "analyze my boss"
  • "build a Musk-style boss"
  • "make a Steve Jobs style leader"
  • "give me a Bezos-style management model"
  • "list boss archetypes"
  • "research my advisor / mentor / PI"
  • "建一个我导师的画像"
  • "run replay eval" / "测一下这个老板像不像"

Tools

These scripts are internal implementation details for the agent. Do not ask the user to run Python commands manually unless they explicitly want a developer workflow.

Workflow

Mode 1: Real Boss

  1. Ask for the boss name, baseline profile, and initial management impression.
  2. Ask for source material: chats, meeting notes, docs, email, or pasted text.
  3. Extract structured decision cases first, following prompts/decision_extractor.md. Each case goes into bosses/{slug}/cases/ via skill_writer.py --action add-case.
  4. Distill three narrative outputs:
    • judgment.md
    • management.md
    • persona.md
  5. Build the decision layer from the cases:
  6. Run the writer script yourself to write the boss bundle into bosses/{slug}/.
  7. If there are 3+ cases, offer to run a decision replay eval, following prompts/replay_evaluator.md.
  8. Show the generated commands:
    • /{slug}
    • /{slug}-judgment
    • /{slug}-management
    • /{slug}-persona

Mode 2: Entrepreneur Archetype

  1. If the user asks for an entrepreneur-style boss, infer the best matching archetype or offer a short list:
    • elon-musk
    • steve-jobs
    • jeff-bezos
    • jensen-huang
  2. Run the writer script yourself to generate the skill. Do not expose the internal command as the primary UX.
  3. Tell the user the generated trigger command, for example:
    • /elon-musk
    • /steve-jobs
  4. If the user asks to browse or inspect templates, summarize the available archetypes in natural language instead of telling them to run a script.

Mode 3: Public Research (mentor / PI / public boss)

Follow prompts/person_researcher.md:

  1. Collect the person's real name, affiliation, and field from the user.
  2. Run tools/person_research.py --name "..." --affiliation "..." --sources all --save-dir bosses/{slug}/knowledge/research. All sources are free and need no API key.
  3. Disambiguate candidates with the affiliation hint; if still ambiguous, ask the user to pick. Never guess.
  4. Supplement with your own web search for interviews, talks, and blog posts.
  5. Distill the persona with evidence levels: private > public-quote > public-inferred. Every public-sourced claim must carry its source.
  6. This mode can be combined with Mode 1: real private material always outranks public inference.

Management Commands

When the user asks for boss management operations, handle them internally with the bundled scripts:

  • /list-bosses Run tools/skill_writer.py --action list and summarize the available boss skills.
  • /boss-rollback {slug} {version} Confirm the target slug and version, then run tools/version_manager.py --action rollback.
  • /delete-boss {slug} Confirm before deletion, then run tools/skill_writer.py --action delete --slug {slug}.
  • /{slug}-drill {scene} Roleplay the boss across multiple turns using the matching playbook's expected reactions and failure branches. End with a debrief against rubric.json.
  • /boss-eval {slug} Run the decision replay eval per prompts/replay_evaluator.md and report the fidelity score.

Do not tell normal users to copy these commands manually. Execute the workflow yourself and report the result.

Bundled Archetypes

  • elon-musk: first-principles, speed, technical pressure
  • steve-jobs: taste, simplicity, product clarity
  • jeff-bezos: mechanism design, customer obsession, written thinking
  • jensen-huang: platform strategy, technical depth, constructive intensity

Files Created

Every generated boss skill should include:

  • SKILL.md
  • judgment.md
  • management.md
  • persona.md
  • meta.json
  • judgment_skill.md
  • management_skill.md
  • persona_skill.md

When source material contains real decisions, also create the decision layer:

  • cases/*.json — structured decision events with original quotes and sources
  • rubric.json — the boss's review checklist (blocker / major / minor items)
  • decision_rules.md — IF/THEN decision rules with case evidence
  • playbooks/*.md — scene workflows (bad news, resource request, pitch, ...)
  • eval/ — replay eval artifacts (question pack, answer key, fidelity report)

Corrections

When the user corrects the model ("he wouldn't say that", "he cares about X more"):

  1. Locate the affected rubric item, rule, case, or persona section.
  2. Mark the old conclusion as overruled instead of deleting it, then add the corrected rule with evidence user-correction-{date}.
  3. Follow prompts/correction_handler.md.
  4. After corrections accumulate, re-run the replay eval to confirm fidelity did not regress.

Safety Framing

  • Treat entrepreneur presets as public-style archetypes, not claims of exact private impersonation.
  • Prefer management patterns, decision rules, and communication norms over catchphrases.
  • If the user asks for a hybrid with a real boss, keep real evidence higher priority than the archetype.
  • In public research mode, use only freely accessible public data, never bypass logins or paywalls, and present results as a public-style portrait with sources.
  • Redact unrelated third-party names from extracted cases.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Create Boss AI skill do?

Distill a real boss into an AI skill, or generate a boss skill from a famous entrepreneur archetype such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, or Jensen Huang, or build a persona from free public sources (papers, GitHub, Wikipedia) for a mentor or PI. Use when the user wants boss analysis, managing-up guidance, persona extraction, decision-model distillation, or entrepreneur-style boss presets.

Why use Create Boss on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Create Boss is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Create Boss in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vogtsw/boss-skills/tree/main. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Create Boss?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Create Boss?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Create Boss with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Create Boss AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by vogtsw. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
