How does the tech debt analyzer work?

It uses a Python-based analyzer to score system architecture, code quality, and security to provide a prioritized debt reduction plan and effort estimation.

What is an ADR and why is it included in this skill?

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documents the rationale for major technical choices. This skill provides templates to ensure architecture decisions are documented, tracked, and followed.

What engineering metrics does the CTO Advisor help track?

The skill helps implement the DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, MTTR, and Change Failure Rate) along with quality and team health KPIs.

Can this skill help with hiring and team organizational structure?

Yes, it includes a team scaling calculator that applies factors like Brooks' Law and Conway's Law to suggest optimal hiring timelines and manager-to-engineer ratios.

Is this tool only intended for C-level executives?

While optimized for CTOs, it is equally valuable for VPs of Engineering, Software Architects, and Engineering Managers who need to justify technical strategy to stakeholders.
