00Start here for your seat

One Command Center, one team. Everyone shares the same setup and the same rules. What changes is which parts you live in. Find your seat, then read the rest of the manual for the depth.

Marketing content and campaigns

Copy, content, ads, funnels, SEO.

Daily: /content for anything written, /content-radar for what is worth posting now. Ask for a blog, an email, a newsletter, or ad copy. Bigger jobs: /content-engine for a full package on one topic, /build-funnel and /build-ads for the machinery. Keep everything on-brand with /voice.

Sales pipeline and deals

Follow-ups, proposals, closing.

Daily: /pipeline to see which deals are going cold and get the re-engagement drafted, and /inbox for follow-ups. Ask /proposals for a quote or scope in your voice. Facing a tough deal call, take it to /board-meet.

Operations the daily engine

The Chief of Staff seat that keeps the day moving.

Daily: /briefing and /dashboard to see the whole business at a glance, then /inbox to clear the decks. Track outcomes with /goals. Automate the routine with /setup-schedules. Find the time-wasters with /audit.

HR people

Hiring, onboarding, one-on-ones.

Ask for a hiring kit (job description, scorecard, interview questions), a 30/60/90 onboarding plan, or prep for a one-on-one. Anyone joining the team runs /my-role on day one so their Command Center already knows their job. HR guidance stays general and defers legal questions to your lawyer.

Finance the numbers

Reporting, margins, cash, pricing.

Run /reporting for the weekly numbers and board-ready reports. Ask for profit by client, a 13-week cash-flow forecast, or a pricing-change model before you move a price. It reads only your connected data and never invents a figure.

New to the team? Read section 01 and 02 first for the mental model, then come back to your seat above. Ten minutes and you will know how to use it.

01The right way to think about it

Your Command Center is not a chatbot. It is a member of staff.

A chatbot forgets you the moment you close it. Your Command Center is the opposite: it knows your business, it remembers what you have told it, it has a set of trained skills, and it can be handed a job and left to do it. The closest thing to it is a capable new hire who has read your whole business, never sleeps, and works for the price of a subscription.

That one shift, from tool to team member, changes how you use it. You do not phrase things as searches. You delegate. "Draft the September newsletter." "Look at my pipeline and tell me which deals are going cold." "Give me the morning brief." It already has the context to do the work, because you gave it your brain during setup.

The promise underneath everything: it drafts, you decide. Nothing is sent, posted, or paid without you saying yes. Treat it as a very fast assistant whose work you sign off on, and you will never be surprised.

02The three things that make it yours

A generic AI is the same for everyone. Yours is not, because three layers sit on top of it.

LayerWhat it isWhere it lives
The pluginThe body. The commands, the departments, the skills. Same for every owner.Installed in the app (Settings → Plugins).
Your brainWhat it knows about you: your story, method, offers, proof, voice, and goals.The brand/ folder inside your project. You own it.
Your toolsIts senses. Live data from your CRM, payments, calendar, email, store, and ads.Connected once with /connect.

The plugin and your brain are kept separate on purpose. When the plugin updates, your brain is never touched. Your knowledge is yours and stays in your project folder, not inside the software.

03How to talk to it

Two ways, and you mix them freely.

Plain language

Type or speak the way you would brief a person. It already read your brain, so you do not re-explain your business every time. You can talk to it by voice: press the microphone, say what you want, and let it work while you do something else.

Slash commands

Commands that start with / are shortcuts to a trained routine. /briefing runs your whole daily intelligence pass. /proposals pulls up your proposal specialist. You do not have to memorise them. Section 07 is the full map, and you can always just ask in plain English and it will route you to the right one.

Rule of thumb: commands for the routines you run often, plain language for everything else. Both reach the same team underneath.

04Your first hour

If you are setting up for the first time, this is the whole path. Most of it is one-time.

  1. Install the plugin and open a fresh chat so the commands load.
  2. Load your brain. Run /import your-brain.json if you did the interview, or /profile-import if you have a profile document. Then run /command-center to build your setup from it and name your Chief of Staff.
  3. Connect your tools. Run /connect and link your CRM, payments, calendar, email, and store. This is what turns generic advice into your real numbers.
  4. Build your board. Run /board-setup to choose the five to seven advisors whose thinking you trust.
  5. Turn on your brief. Run /setup-schedules so your morning brief arrives on its own, even when the app is closed.

That is the setup. Everything after this is daily use and building, at your own pace.

Keep your project folder local. Create your working folder in Documents, not inside iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, or any cloud-synced folder. Cloud sync fights the app for the files and causes odd errors. Your brain is backed up separately with /cc-export.

05The daily rhythm

The heartbeat of the Command Center is the brief. Everything else hangs off it.

WhenCommandWhat you get
Morning/morning-briefThe day ahead plus what happened overnight: revenue, leads, calendar, emails, flags.
Midday/afternoon-briefWhere the day stands, what still needs attention, what is slipping.
Evening/end-of-dayWhat closed, what did not get done, tomorrow set up.
Any time/briefingThe same intelligence, time-aware. The three above are just shortcuts to it.
At a glance/dashboardA clean local web page: revenue, email, tasks, cash owed, calendar, pipeline in one view.

Around the brief, three specialists carry the day:

06Your team: the departments

Your Chief of Staff runs the show and hands work to six departments. You can call a department directly, or just ask for the outcome and let the Chief of Staff route it.

DepartmentCall it withAsk it for
Chief of Staff/command-centerThe overview, and routing anything to the right place.
Strategy/strategyOffers, positioning, who the customer is, sales, launches, a decision with the board.
Content/contentCopy, email, blogs, newsletters, VSL scripts, repurposing. Written in your voice.
Growth/growthFunnels, conversion, ads, lead magnets, SEO and answer-engine plans.
Creative/creativeVisuals, video, ad creative direction, landing pages designed.
Reporting/reportingYour numbers, the weekly review, board-ready reports from live tools.
Research/researchMarket and competitor intelligence, content radar, the brief before a call.

Two more departments, Finance and HR, are there when you need them: profit by client, cash-flow forecasts, pricing-change maths, a hiring kit, onboarding plans, and one-on-ones. Ask the Chief of Staff and it will bring in the right specialist.

08Getting things built

This is where the Command Center stops being an assistant and becomes a builder. The pattern is always the same, and it is safe: it plans, you approve, then it builds.

  1. Scope it. Run /explore and talk through the idea. It asks the right questions and produces a Build Brief, in plain terms, so you both agree on what "done" means before anything is made.
  2. Approve it. You read the brief and say yes, or change it.
  3. Build it. Run /build and it produces the working thing.

For the big, known jobs there are one-shot commands that run the whole sequence: /launch for a full product launch, /content-engine for a complete content package on a topic, and the /build-offer, /build-funnel, /build-ads family for a single piece. Each does deep research first, then produces the work for your sign-off.

You do not need to know how any of it works. Every build command is written for a non-technical owner. It walks you through in steps and never assumes you can code.

09Your advisory board

Most owners decide alone. Your Command Center gives you a room of advisors on demand. During setup you choose five to seven people whose thinking you respect, and it builds each one as a research-backed persona, grounded in your actual business, not a caricature.

When a real decision lands, run /board-meet with the question. Pricing, a hire, whether to take a client, which direction to push. They give you distinct perspectives, they disagree where they should, and you get a clear recommendation at the end. Build the board once with /board-setup, then convene it whenever a decision is worth a second opinion.

10Skills: teaching it new tricks

A skill is a trained capability: copywriting, video editing, SEO, sales, and dozens more ship built in. Think of them as the specific things your staff already know how to do.

11How it remembers and learns

Its memory is your brand/ folder. That is where your brain lives after import, and where it writes down what it learns about how you work. Because it is a folder in your project, you own it, you can read it, and it survives every plugin update.

Make its voice yours

The single highest-leverage thing you can do early: feed it your real writing. Paste a few emails, captions, or posts that sound exactly like you. Run /voice on anything to have it rewritten in your tone. The more real examples it has, the less generic everything it writes becomes.

Keep it honest and current

One rule keeps it trustworthy: it will never invent a number, a testimonial, or a result you did not give it. If a fact is not in your brain, it keeps the copy general rather than making something up. When you want to claim something specific, add it to your proof first.

12Connecting your tools

Run /connect and it walks you through linking your business tools. This is the step that turns generic answers into your real revenue, your real leads, your real calendar. Common connections owners make:

You connect a tool once. From then on the briefs, dashboard, and reports read from it live. If a connection needs a sign-in step, /connect tells you exactly what to click. You never paste a password into a chat.

13Automation that runs without you

The briefs are most useful when they arrive on their own. Run /setup-schedules, confirm the timing you want, and your morning brief, end-of-day review, and dashboard refresh run in the background, even when the app is closed. Run it again with off to remove them. This is how the Command Center becomes something that works while you sleep, not just when you open it.

14Folding in your chats

A lot of your business lives in WhatsApp and Telegram: decisions, client context, the way you actually talk. You can pull that in. /import-whatsapp and /import-telegram read your chats, transcribe the voice notes, and prepare them to fold into your brain.

It all happens on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded. The transcription runs locally. This needs the toolkit installed first (Homebrew, ffmpeg, and the transcription model), which is a one-time setup. On voice notes, do it promptly: the links to them expire.

15Safety and control

16Updates and housekeeping

17Getting unstuck

If this happensDo this
A command does not show up after installing or updatingOpen a brand new chat. Commands load on a fresh session. If it is still missing, reopen the app.
It says it cannot find a fileGive it the file's full path, or move the file into your project folder first, then run the command.
It does not seem to know something about your businessRun /profile-review to see the gap, then tell it the fact so it goes into your brain.
The output sounds generic or not like youFeed it real writing samples and run /voice. It has too few examples of your tone.
You are deep in a session and it is getting fullRun /handoff and start fresh with the pickup line it gives you.
You are not sure which command to useJust ask in plain English. Describe the outcome and it routes you.

18The golden rules

  1. Treat it like staff, not a search box. Delegate outcomes.
  2. Give it your brain, then feed it your voice. That is what makes it yours.
  3. Connect your tools. Real data beats good advice.
  4. Run your brief every day. It is the heartbeat.
  5. It drafts, you approve. Always.
  6. Keep your folder local, and back up with /cc-export.
  7. When in doubt, just ask it in plain English.
