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-agent orchestrator + cto-worker.sh sandcastle helper + 2 toolkit skills (Python + Angular, anchored to real workspace codebases). Approval gate enforced via kanban block for deploy-adjacent escalations; CTO never gh pr merge autonomously.

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 complete or kanban block — no protocol violations

Roadmap

Component v1.0 (current) v1.1 (next) v2 (deferred)
cto-agent/SKILL.md executable iteration loop (auto-rerun on test-failure) sub-agent profiles (coder/reviewer/deployer)
Sandcastle invocation docker default via cto-worker.sh provider-swap (docker → vercel for parallel)
Toolkit skills Python + Angular extract to cortex/L6-svrnty.lib-{python,angular}-framework
Approval gate kanban_block on deploy-adjacent richer escalation w/ JP DM deploy gate (CI/CD wired)
Observability stdout 5W metrics endpoint emit Grafana/Prometheus MCPs
IaC Terraform/Pulumi orchestration
  • ../sandcastle/CONTEXT.md — sandcastle terminology (read before writing any invocation)
  • ../cmo/ — C-suite reference impl #1 (thick capability pattern)
  • ../ceo/ — C-suite reference impl #2 (thin orchestrator pattern — CTO follows this)
