Use when the user says "who should own AI", "center of excellence", "AI committee", "CoE", "our sponsor is HR, is that right", "tiger team to permanent", or after scale-operating-calendar.

# scale-coe-charter

Produce `artifacts/scale-coe.md`. Two co-chairs, one technology and one business. Neither works alone.

## Preflight (every run)
1. Confirm `GTM-AI-OS/` is accessible. If not: "I need access to your GTM-AI-OS folder. Select it in Cowork's folder picker, or run `os-install` from the core plugin." Stop until it is.
2. Read `CLAUDE.md`, `INDEX.md`, and the last 20 lines of `signals/log.md`.
3. Check the prerequisites below. For anything missing, ask the cold-start questions and offer: (a) run the earlier skill now, or (b) fast path: answer the questions and this skill writes a minimal version of the missing artifact marked `status: draft (fast path)`.
4. On finish, update the artifact row in `INDEX.md` and append one line to `signals/log.md`: `<date> | <skill> | <produced> | <human changed> | <open question>`.

## Prerequisites
- `artifacts/scale-pilot.md` (the tiger team is the seed of the CoE).
Cold-start: "Who ran your AI pilot, who sponsored it, and how big is the company?" Continue.

## Step 1: Size it
Ask company size and regulation level. Startup or unregulated: a revenue-org CoE of three to five people. Mid-size or regulated: the full model below.

## Step 2: The structure
- Executive sponsor: as high as possible (CEO, CRO, or CTO). If the sponsor is HR, say plainly: HR belongs on the core team, not in the chair, because the work is business outcomes and technology, and prioritization stalls otherwise.
- Technology co-chair (owns speed, build, safety, security) and business co-chair (owns ROI, adoption, prioritization).
- Core team by title: legal, security, training and enablement, GTM (sales, marketing, CS), product and engineering, RevOps as data and systems steward, plus any industry-required role (e.g. medical, compliance).
Fill names where the user has them; titles where they don't.

## Step 3: Charter
Purpose (translate AI into measurable business outcomes safely and repeatably), decision rights (what the CoE approves, what teams can do alone), intake (how a use case gets proposed and prioritized), budget path, and the relationship to tiger teams (CoE resources them; they run the pilots).

## Step 4: Cadence
Biweekly to start, with two standing agenda items: the prioritized use-case list and performance of what's already shipped. Add to the operating calendar.

## Step 5: The 90-day and 12-month view
Ninety days: name the pseudo AI head, formalize the tiger team, run intake once. Twelve months: the structure that makes this permanent, including whether a dedicated forward-deployed pod (GTM engineer, agent engineer) reports into the CRO, RevOps, or the CTO. Don't deploy that pod until the foundations exist.

## Step 6: Write
Write the charter with a role table. Update `INDEX.md`.

## Hand off
Say: "Write the rules the CoE will enforce. Run `scale-governance`."
