An agent organization for Claude Code, structured as a company: a chief executive over 16 departments, 143 skills in total.

Every department is an independently installable plugin, so a project loads only the functions it needs rather than all of them at once.

Install

/plugin marketplace add cbrock84/headcount
/plugin install security@headcount

Install as many departments as the project needs. Skills are addressed as department:skill — security:threat-modeling, finance:unit-economics — so names never collide.

Use

Skills load themselves when a request matches. Ask a question in the department’s territory and the right specialist engages:

You ask	What loads
“why isn’t this landing page converting?”	`demand-generation:landing-page-cro-expert`
“review this design before we build it”	`security:threat-modeling`
“can we afford this hire?”	`finance:unit-economics`
“our growth has stalled”	`executive:business-growth-consultant`

Invoke one directly by name when you want a specific lens: /finance:financial-modeling.

Seven situations that cross departments — a SOC 2 demand from an enterprise prospect, a security incident, a stalled funnel — are worked through end to end in docs/USE-CASES.md, including where a reviewer-class department stops the work rather than adding an opinion.

Each department also ships an agent charter in .claude/agents/, so a department can be delegated to as a subagent with its own exclusive write surface.

How it is organized

plugins/<department>/
  .claude-plugin/plugin.json   department manifest
  skills/<skill>/SKILL.md      frontmatter name equals the directory name
.claude/agents/<id>.md         one charter per department
docs/AGENT-SURFACES.md         every path has exactly one owner, enforced in CI
docs/DECISION-LOG.md           numbered decisions with options and recommendations
docs/USE-CASES.md              situations worked end to end across departments
docs/org-chart.html           interactive org chart, searchable across every skill
docs/index.html               GitHub Pages entry point, redirects to the chart

Agents split by exclusive write surface, not by topic — a topic split has no checkable boundary, and two agents working on “SEO” and “UI” both end up in the same file. See executive:agent-hierarchy for the method.

Contributing

./scripts/check-all.sh

Verifies the surface map is coherent, every skill’s frontmatter is valid and unique, no third-party license text has appeared, the generated README and social card are current, every department:skill reference in the docs resolves, spelling is US English, and every manifest parses. CI runs the same script, so local and CI cannot drift.

A new department needs its roster row in docs/AGENT-SURFACES.md, a surface block, a charter in .claude/agents/, and an entry in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — all in the same change, or the check fails.
