PLG Growth Council — three thinkers for recurring product-led growth decisions: Elena Verna (DIAGNOSIS: activation and retention forensics — is this an acquisition problem or an activation problem), Brian Balfour (ARCHITECTURE: growth loop design — loops compound, funnels decay), Lenny Rachitsky (BENCHMARK: cross-company calibration — is this number actually good for your stage and category). Rotating fourth seat: Casey Winters (SCALE: network-effect growth and scaling a growth org past its first wedge). Use for: diagnosing a stalled activation funnel, deciding whether a growth idea is a real loop or a funnel wearing loop language, calibrating whether a retention/activation number is actually good, designing a north star metric, planning when to build a dedicated growth team, and scaling growth past an initial product wedge. Run `/plg-growth-council sync` to refresh all four seats' current public positions before convening on anything time-sensitive. Trigger on: activation, retention, onboarding, PLG, product

Council Forge — builds advisor council skills. Walks the user through a ten-step (A-J) interactive process to turn a set of real, public thinkers into a working agent skill for a recurring decision domain: verifying candidates against a hard roster gate, assigning orthogonal seats, writing the structural-bias and honesty-clause sections, designing a sync mechanism and a playbook write-path, assembling the result into a SKILL.md, and running a shakedown pass on a real question before calling it done. Use for: "build me an advisor council for X", "I want a panel of experts for [recurring decision]", "turn these three people's thinking into a skill", "help me design a council like the ones in this project's examples", or any request to create a new multi-persona advisory skill. This skill produces other skills — it does not itself answer domain questions.
