/c-level-agents:cto-review — CTO Forcing Questions
Command: /c-level-agents:cto-review <plan>
Pressure-tests architecture and engineering scaling decisions. Six questions to surface the next scaling cliff before you hit it.
When to Run
- Before approving a major architecture change
- Before doubling the engineering team
- Before a build-vs-buy decision > $100K/year
- When a system is showing reliability stress (SLOs missed)
- Before committing to a new platform / language / DB
The Six CTO Questions
1. Scaling Cliff
Where does the current architecture break, in terms of users / requests / data volume?
- Be specific. "It breaks at 10× current load because the primary DB writes saturate."
- If you don't know, run a load test before deciding.
2. Tech Debt Inventory
What's the top tech debt item, what's it costing per week, and when does it become blocking?
