agent-chief: Keep Founder Focus by Filtering Interruptions Locally

Name: agent-chief: Keep Founder Focus by Filtering Interruptions Locally
Author: SmileLikeYe

For founders juggling AI agents, alerts, and feeds, agent-chief runs locally to decide when to interrupt, preserving your most limited resource—attention.

From the repo · “Attention is your scarcest resource. Chief is the local-first layer that guards it — turning every agent, alert, and feed into one honest call: interrupt, or not.”

What it does

Agent-Chief simplifies alerts and feeds by turning them into a single interrupt or not interrupt decision for startup founders.

When to use it

•When you have multiple alerts and feeds competing for your attention and need to prioritize them
•When you want to reduce distractions and minimize interruptions while working
•When you need a local-first solution to manage your alerts and feeds without relying on cloud services

Ready-to-paste prompt

python chief.py --alert 'New email from investor' --interrupt

Heads up: Make sure you have Python 3.8 or later installed, as Agent-Chief relies on specific Python features not available in earlier versions

Prep for sales objections before every call

List your upcoming deals with a little context, and the workflow builds a prep card per deal: the 3 objections you’re most likely to hear, an honest response to each, and one sharp question to ask.
