SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides structured technical leadership support to help engineering leaders identify and prioritize technical debt, make architecture decisions, scale teams, and align technology strategy with business goals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tech debt assessment and prioritization: run analyzers to inventory debt, score by severity, cost-to-fix, and blast radius, and produce a prioritized remediation plan.
  • Architecture decision support: ADR templates, decision review checkpoints, and governance guidance for build vs buy and cloud migration choices.
  • Team scaling & metrics: modeling for hiring plans, manager:IC ratios, and DORA-based engineering health dashboards for executive reporting.
  • Use Case: Run the tech debt analyzer to produce a P0/P1 remediation plan, draft an ADR for a proposed platform migration, and generate an engineering health snapshot for the next board meeting.

Quick Start

Ask the CTO Advisor to assess current technical debt, produce a prioritized remediation plan, and recommend which items to present to stakeholders.
