SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This agent provides CTO-level technical review of execution plans to identify architectural risks, ensure design decisions align with standards, and prevent tech debt from accumulating during planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Review: Evaluate design decisions, system boundaries, and ADR alignment.
  • Tech Debt Assessment: Identify potential debt and mitigation plans before coding.
  • Technology Evaluation: Assess new tools and integration complexity, cost implications.
  • Engineering Excellence: Validate testing strategy, observability requirements, and security considerations.
  • Team & Process alignment: Ensure knowledge distribution, onboarding impact, and documentation needs.

Quick Start

Invoke the CTO plan reviewer on a track by running claude /cto-advisor to load plan.md, spec.md, and related artifacts for an architecture-focused evaluation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an architecture plan for technical debt before implementation?▼

You can identify architectural issues and potential debt early by performing a CTO-level technical review of execution plans before implementation, evaluating design decisions, system boundaries, and ADR alignment.

What does a CTO-level technical plan review evaluate?▼

A CTO-level technical plan review evaluates design decisions, system boundaries, and ADR alignment, while also assessing new tools, integration complexity, testing strategy, observability requirements, and security considerations.

How do I run an architecture evaluation on a track using claude?▼

To run an architecture evaluation, invoke the reviewer manually via claude /cto-advisor, which automatically loads the track's plan.md, spec.md, and related artifacts for an architecture-focused evaluation.

When should I perform an architecture review of my execution plan?▼

You should perform an architecture review automatically during Step 2 Evaluate Plan for tracks involving architecture decisions, integrations, or infrastructure changes, ensuring tech debt mitigation before coding begins.

What inputs are needed to assess integration complexity and tech debt?▼

Assessing integration complexity and tech debt requires inputs including the track's plan.md, spec.md, conductor/tech-stack.md, conductor/product.md, and the current codebase to produce a structured technical review report.

Can I evaluate team and process alignment during an architecture plan review?▼

Yes, an architecture plan review validates engineering excellence while ensuring knowledge distribution, onboarding impact, and documentation needs are met to align team and process requirements.
