Add the Virtual Duct Tape COO to your setup

Beta — please test, use with caution. Guidance may be incomplete; feedback is very welcome.

This is a Ducttape COO — plug it into your AI setup, or superpower yourself. You install only the skill folder — at runtime it fetches the Duct Tape to COO knowledge base (wiki pages, process data) over HTTP, so you don't need a local copy of this repo. Your AI tool needs web access; offline, a local clone works as a fallback.

Quick start

Your AI tool

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/aksie/ducttape-to-coo.git

Copy the skill
```
cp -r ducttape-to-coo/.cursor/skills/virtual-coo ~/.cursor/skills/
```
All projects? ~/.cursor/skills/virtual-coo/. One repo only? .cursor/skills/virtual-coo/ inside it. Cursor discovers it automatically.
Open a project
"Be my virtual COO."

Any folder or repo you work in day to day. First time: intro + questions about your company — then the COO creates company-state.md for you. When you're ready for a weekly rhythm, the COO can point you to calendar reminders — first conversation or later.

Copy the skill
```
cp -r ducttape-to-coo/.cursor/skills/virtual-coo ~/.claude/skills/virtual-coo
```
All projects? ~/.claude/skills/virtual-coo/. One repo? .claude/skills/virtual-coo/ — folder name must match name: in SKILL.md.
Open a project
/virtual-coo

Or ask "be my virtual COO" — Claude can pick it up from the skill description. First time: intro + company questions, then company-state.md is created for you.

Copy the skill

At runtime the skill fetches the knowledge base over HTTP (default: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aksie/ducttape-to-coo/main). No web access? Keep a local clone — the skill falls back to disk.
