Svrnty 375417a29b feat(cto): initial scaffold v0.1.0
C-suite instance #3 — CTO profile distribution. Thin orchestrator over
sandcastle for code-modifying work across .NET / Dart / Go / Rust /
Python / Angular / Bash stacks.

v0.1 = scaffold only. Orchestrator skill is a stub; v1.0 wires
executable sandcastle.run() invocation.

Scaffold contents (12 files):
- AGENT.md, CONTRACT.md (T1, 12 sections), CLAUDE.md, README.md
- manifest.yaml (14 external_tool_deps across 9 stacks)
- distribution.yaml (Hermes native install contract)
- install.sh (idempotent, --dry-run support), credbridge.sh (gh CLI)
- schema.sql (work_queue + invocations + agent_runtime)
- skills/cto-agent/SKILL.md (stub w/ per-stack routing table)
- .gitignore, .env.example

External tool catalog covers:
- typescript: sandcastle (mattpocock, MIT, v0.5.11)
- dotnet: lib-dotnet-cqrs, tool-cqrs-plugin, pi-bte-plugin
- dart: lib-cqrs-datasource (gRPC client to .NET CQRS)
- go: lib-llm, core-credentials, core-memory, tool-qa
- rust: core-runtime (zeroclaw)
- bash: tool-bash-plugin
- multi: lib-quality-gates (48 gates), lib-skills-engineering (28 patterns)
- cortex-os: tool-cortex-plugin

DESIGN.md (Google Labs spec) compliance documented — CTO ensures UI
work conforms when Stitch / other DESIGN.md consumers are downstream.

Companion changes in workspace:
- hermes/CLAUDE.md workspace map + .gitignore
- sdo/org.yaml: ceo.delegates_to=[cmo, cto], cto agent block
- sot/06-REGISTRY/EXTERNAL-REFS/SANDCASTLE.md (T2, active)
- sot/06-REGISTRY/CORTEX-TOOLING.md (T2, active)
- sot/README.md links updated

# cto (repo) · cto-planb (Hermes profile)
**Hermes classification:** profile distribution (C-suite, instance #3, Plan B-scoped)
*Inherits Karpathy 4 rules from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` — read them before coding.*
## What this is
CTO agent for Plan B — thin orchestrator. Decomposes JP/CEO tech goals, invokes sandcastle to run code-modifying agents in isolated sandboxes, judges resulting diffs, opens PRs, requests JP approval for any deploy. Never deploys directly. Instance #3 of the C-suite profile distribution family.
**Naming:** the repo dir is `cto/` (generic). The deployed Hermes profile is `cto-planb` (Plan B-scoped, driven by `distribution.yaml → name`). Future orgs would clone this repo and set `name: cto-<org>` in their `distribution.yaml`.
**Status:** v0.1 — **scaffold only**. Orchestrator skill stub exists but is not executable. v1.0 milestone = wire `sandcastle.run()` into `skills/cto-agent/`.
## Hard rules
- CTO NEVER edits host repo code directly — always via sandcastle in an isolated sandbox
- CTO NEVER merges to main without JP `approve` (definition of "deploy" per CONTRACT.md §3)
- CTO NEVER touches infrastructure (DNS, certs, secrets, cron, cloud) — escalate always
- CTO NEVER edits `../sandcastle/` — read-only workspace hard rule (mattpocock/sandcastle pinned v0.5.11)
- `cto.db` never committed — created by `install.sh`, managed at runtime
- The CTO's "skill" is judgment + sandcastle invocation, not execution — do NOT add large skill libraries here (CEO precedent)
- Structural changes follow `../sot/03-PROTOCOLS/PROFILE-DISTRIBUTION-PROTOCOL.md`
## Structure
```
cto/
├── manifest.yaml # profile: cto-planb, kind: profile-distribution
├── distribution.yaml # Hermes native install contract
├── AGENT.md # CTO identity (role, mission, boundaries)
├── CONTRACT.md # CTO behavior contract — tier T1 (this file wins)
├── install.sh # idempotent installer → ~/.hermes/cto-planb symlink (skeleton)
├── credbridge.sh # secrets bridge (skeleton — github-pat only in v1)
├── schema.sql # cto.db schema (work_queue, agent_runtime, invocations)
├── skills/
│ └── cto-agent/ # orchestrator skill (SKILL.md = stub until v1.0)
└── cron/ # empty for v1 (CEO precedent — on-demand only)
```
## Gotchas
- Sandcastle is at `../sandcastle/` (sibling). Read its `CONTEXT.md` before writing any sandcastle.run() invocation — the terminology (sandbox provider, branch strategy, agent provider) matters
- `cto/` does NOT inherit `cmo/`'s 40-skill complexity — keep it thin like `ceo/` (1 skill: cto-agent)
- v0.1 has NO executable orchestrator — running `hermes -p cto-planb skills list` will show cto-agent but invocations will no-op gracefully
- credbridge in v1 resolves only `github-pat`; other creds (deploy, cloud) deferred to v2 per CONTRACT.md §4
- When v1.0 work starts: write `skills/cto-agent/SKILL.md` body (currently stub), test sandcastle.run() against a throwaway repo, then wire kanban dispatch
## When to update this CLAUDE.md vs other docs
- This file: gotchas, hard rules, structure overview — what a Claude session needs to navigate the repo
- `AGENT.md`: identity (role, mission, principal) — what CTO IS
- `CONTRACT.md`: behavior contract — what CTO DOES and does NOT do, decisions, anti-patterns (tier T1)
- `manifest.yaml`: machine-readable identity + install hooks
- `distribution.yaml`: Hermes native install contract (separate from manifest by design)
- `README.md`: human-facing intro + install instructions
