CTO profile distribution — Plan B Chief Technology Officer agent. Thin orchestrator over sandcastle for code-modifying work across .NET, Dart/Flutter, Go, Rust, Bash, Python, Angular stacks. v0.1 scaffold.
10f919746e
skills/cto-agent/SKILL.md: bumped 0.1.0 → 1.0.0; drop "v0.1 stub" banner;
operating loop now concrete (no more "v1.0 will…"); add explicit kanban
worker contract (kanban_complete | kanban_block required at task end —
fixes the protocol-violation noise observed in CTO validation testing).
Routing table updated: Python → cto-python-toolkit, Angular →
cto-angular-toolkit (the dedicated stack skills built earlier).
Added sot/-spec frontmatter fields (tier T2, status active, owner, source,
last_reviewed) per PROFILE-DISTRIBUTION-PROTOCOL §2.1.
lib/cto-worker.sh: orchestrator helper. 3 commands:
- sandcastle <work-id> <target> <prompt> [provider] → invoke sandcastle
via npx tsx + claudeCode + docker (default). Blocks reads against
read-only siblings (hermes-agent, hermes-webui, marketingskills,
sandcastle).
- open-pr <work-id> <target> <title> <body> → resolves github-pat via
credbridge (never in argv), pushes branch, creates PR. Returns URL.
- emit-5w <work-id> <status> <summary> → prints 5W block (stdout
captured by Hermes into kanban completion).
install.sh: invokes `hermes profile install --yes --force` for dispatch
readiness; chmod +x cto-worker.sh; drops v0.1 scaffold messages; sandcastle
sibling now REQUIRED (was just a WARN). Adds matching DRY echoes.
manifest.yaml + distribution.yaml: version 0.1.0 → 1.0.0; distribution_owned
adds lib/.
README.md: status v0.1 scaffold → v1.0 MVP; layout reflects 3 skills + lib/;
roadmap table refactored (v1.0 current / v1.1 next / v2 deferred).
Verified: hermes profile install → "✓ Installed 'cto-planb' v1.0.0".

cto (repo) · cto-planb (Hermes profile)
A Chief Technology Officer agent for Hermes, built for Plan B (Québec fresh prepared-meals). Thin orchestrator: decomposes JP/CEO tech goals, invokes sandcastle to run code-modifying agents in isolated Docker/Podman/Vercel sandboxes, judges resulting diffs, opens PRs for human review, and requests JP approval for any deploy. Never deploys directly.
Instance #3 of the C-suite profile distribution family (CMO = #1, CEO = #2, CTO = #3). This repo is cto/; the deployed Hermes profile is cto-planb. Built to the canonical protocol at ../sot/03-PROTOCOLS/PROFILE-DISTRIBUTION-PROTOCOL.md.
Status: v1.0 MVP. Executable
cto-agentorchestrator +cto-worker.shsandcastle helper + 2 toolkit skills (Python + Angular, anchored to real workspace codebases). Approval gate enforced via kanbanblockfor deploy-adjacent escalations; CTO nevergh pr mergeautonomously.

CONTRACT.md— what CTO does, does NOT do, edge cases (tier T1) - Protocol:
../sot/03-PROTOCOLS/PROFILE-DISTRIBUTION-PROTOCOL.md - Primary tool:

Install
git clone https://git.openharbor.io/hermes/cto && cd cto
./install.sh # symlink + skills register + hermes profile install
hermes -p cto-planb skills list | grep cto-agent
hermes kanban assignees | grep cto-planb # verify dispatch-ready
Default install symlinks ~/.hermes/cto-planb → this repo (repo is canonical, edits land live).
Key invariants
- CTO orchestrates via sandcastle, never edits host code directly
- No deploy without JP approval (merge-to-main = deploy gate; CTO never
gh pr merge) - No infrastructure changes without JP approval (DNS, certs, secrets, cron, cloud)
- No edits to
../sandcastle/(read-only mirror) - Thin orchestrator (3 skills: cto-agent + 2 stack toolkits), NOT a 40-skill library
- Every kanban task closes via
kanban completeorkanban block— no protocol violations
