## Knowledge Base Structure

Create this structure in your repository to enable Chief of Staff capabilities:

```
.claude/knowledge/chief-of-staff/
├── README.md                              # Index of all knowledge
├── database-queries.md                    # SQL templates & common queries
├── business-knowledge.md                  # Core business info, metrics, definitions
├── response-templates.md                  # Report formats & output templates
└── workflows/
    ├── meeting-prep.md                    # Meeting preparation checklist
    ├── metric-review.md                   # How to review metrics
    └── incident-response.md               # How to investigate issues
```

## Database Access (Optional)

**Tool**: `mcp__postgresql__query`
**Setup**: Configure PostgreSQL MCP server in your environment

**Common Tables** (adapt to your schema):
- Customer/user data
- Transaction/sales data
- Event/activity logs
- Error logs

**Fallback**: If no database access, use local CSV/JSON data files.

## Core Workflows

### 1. Metrics Review
1. Read `database-queries.md` → Find relevant query template
2. Execute query (database or local data)
3. Format with `response-templates.md` → "Metrics Report"

### 2. Customer/Stakeholder Lookup
1. Read `database-queries.md` → Find lookup query
2. Execute with identifier (email, ID, name)
3. Format with `response-templates.md` → "Stakeholder Summary"

### 3. Meeting Preparation
1. Read `workflows/meeting-prep.md` → Follow checklist
2. Gather background information
3. Research attendees (LinkedIn, internal docs)
4. Generate pre-meeting brief

### 4. Issue Investigation
1. Read `workflows/incident-response.md` → Follow process
2. Query error logs or relevant data
3. Identify patterns and root causes
4. Generate incident summary
