Maxim is built for operators who use Claude every day. These guides show the highest-leverage moves by role, plus six recipes that save an hour each.

First 5 minutes

You should be dispatching your first specialist before your coffee gets cold.

STEP 1

Install

Paste into Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/DrNabeelKhan/maxim
/plugin install maxim@maxim-packs
STEP 2

Verify

Confirm 88 agents, 34 domains, 38 commands are loaded:

/mxm-status
STEP 3

First dispatch

Let the router pick the right specialist:

/mxm-route I want to ship a landing page for a compliance SaaS by Friday.

Day in the life, by role

Six roles, six workflows. Pick yours. Copy-paste the commands into Claude Code.

Solo founder

You wear every hat. CEO in the morning, CTO by noon, CMO by evening. Claude can't keep up with the context shift.

  1. /mxm-ceo-morning

    Wake up with a 5-task plan pulled from the CEO Automation context. Priority-ranked, deadline-aware, routed to the right office.

  2. /mxm-cto Design a scalable backend for our new feature.

    CTO office picks the specialist — backend-architect, database-optimizer, or solution-architect — based on the task.

  3. /mxm-cmo Draft our launch email sequence.

    content-strategist composes with your brand voice already loaded from .brand-foundation/.

  4. /mxm-ceo-overnight

    Before bed, roll up the day: what shipped, what's blocked, what's next. Written to SESSION_CONTINUITY so tomorrow picks up where today ended.

Consultant / agency

Different clients, different brand voices, different compliance scopes. Keeping them separate in your head is the job you wish you didn't have to do.

  1. .brand-foundation/startups/{client}/

    One brand overlay per client. Voice, positioning, compliance scope loads automatically when you cd into the client project.

  2. /mxm-new-project

    Scaffold a new client engagement with all the Maxim folders, manifests, and session memory in 30 seconds.

  3. /mxm-cpo Run a strategic review of this client's product roadmap.

    product-strategist specialist handles the hard parts — jobs-to-be-done, wedge analysis, positioning.

  4. /mxm-release

    Client hand-off mode. Runs the pre-release audit, generates the changelog, flags anything that would fail a buyer's due diligence.

Marketer

Generic AI gives you polished copy but cites no mechanism. You can't tell if it will convert. You rewrite half of it by hand.

  1. /mxm-cmo Write a hero paragraph that converts trial users to paid.

    content-strategist applies Fogg B=MAP, Prospect Theory, or Hook Model depending on stage. Names the framework so you can evaluate.

  2. /mxm-seo Audit this landing page for search visibility.

    seo-specialist runs the page against SEO + AEO + GEO best practices. Flags what would block discovery.

  3. /mxm-behavior Nudge design for our onboarding flow.

    behavioral-designer applies EAST (Easy, Attractive, Social, Timely) + Hook Model to the flow.

  4. /mxm-review Grade this campaign copy before we send.

    Pre-send audit. Confidence tag + four-line rubric. Know what ships and what doesn't.

Engineering lead

Claude can write code but can't tell you where it's guessing. You've lost hours chasing hallucinated imports and outdated API signatures.

  1. /mxm-cto Design a migration from SQLite to Postgres at our scale.

    solution-architect + database-optimizer collaborate. Output cites SQLite-to-Postgres gotchas, not generic advice.

  2. /mxm-implement Build the new auth service per the spec.

    implementer executes with explicit framework citations (e.g., 'applying OAuth 2.1 PKCE per RFC 9700 §4.2').

  3. /mxm-test Generate integration tests for this API.

    tester builds tests that actually run. Coverage gaps surfaced before ship.

  4. /mxm-watch

    Run drift detection. Catches orphan references, version mismatch, dependency drift, broken cross-doc links.

Compliance officer

You're the last gate before ship. Generic AI outputs drop on your desk without compliance framing. Every review is from-scratch.

  1. /mxm-cso Audit this user-data flow against GDPR and PIPEDA.

    security-analyst loads both frameworks and maps every data element to the relevant article/section. Cited, not narrated.

  2. /mxm-compliance Check this marketing email against CASL.

    compliance-officer applies CASL express-consent rules, unsubscribe requirements, and sender identification. Pass/fail with clause-level evidence.

  3. /mxm-security Threat-model this new feature before we ship.

    STRIDE or equivalent, applied before development. Findings with severity + remediation.

  4. /mxm-review Final pre-ship gate.

    Runs all active compliance frameworks against the pending change. Blocks if anything fails; explains why.

Executive / investor-facing

You need outputs that read like a principal wrote them, not like an intern edited them. Your trust in AI is inversely proportional to what's at stake.

  1. /mxm-ceo Update the board deck for next quarter's narrative.

    enterprise-architect drafts with Minto Pyramid + Duarte Sparkline applied. Audit-trail-ready.

  2. /mxm-plan Sprint plan for the next 8 weeks.

    planner outputs a sprint plan that cross-links to ADRs, MOAT rows, and prior commitments. Not a brainstorm — a contract.

  3. /mxm-recall What did we decide about the Series A timeline?

    Cross-session memory lookup. Maxim pulls from SESSION_CONTINUITY, decisions log, and MemPalace. Answers with provenance.

  4. /mxm-status

    One-line health check. Lifecycle, gated flag, open handoffs, drift count. Board-ready operational summary.

Six recipes that save an hour each

These are the moves Maxim operators run every week. If you install the plugin and only ever use these six, you've already paid for the subscription.

Monday morning: one-command daily brief

Run /mxm-ceo-morning with your coffee. Maxim pulls yesterday's session state, your TASKS.md, any blocked handoffs, and composes a priority-ranked 5-task list. Ready in 30 seconds. Saves the planning chat you don't want to have before coffee.

Friday close: one-command shutdown

/mxm-session-end fires the 9-document closure bundle. Updates the changelog if you shipped, appends to the debugging playbook if you resolved a bug, writes SESSION_CONTINUITY so Monday starts where Friday ended. No context loss between weekends.

Regulated ship gate before every commit

Install L1.4 Compliance Shield. Every AI-generated output that touches user data, payments, or regulated content runs through 14 compliance frameworks automatically. Bad outputs get blocked, not flagged. You never re-review a compliant output — you only review the ones Maxim already rejected.

One voice across every channel

Drop your voice profile into .brand-foundation/personal.local/voice-profile.md. Every CMO output, every email, every landing page loads it. Your Twitter thread and your pricing page finally sound like the same company.

Context that compounds instead of resetting

L1.2 MemPalace Pro builds a knowledge graph from your sessions. Ask /mxm-recall questions like "what did we decide about the pricing model in March" and Maxim answers with provenance — which session, which decision log, which ADR. Six months in, you stop re-explaining your own product.

Drift detection before your customer finds it

Proactive Watch runs 10 drift classes on every session start. Docs lie about what code does. Counts in your README don't match reality. A moat claim in your marketing contradicts the ledger. Caught before ship, not after.
