cto-review

Conduct a CTO-perspective technical strategy review of a codebase. Evaluates architecture decisions and build-vs-buy trade-offs, scaling readiness at 10x and 100x, engineering velocity and developer experience, technical debt ratio and blast radius, security posture at executive level, team scalability for hiring, and infrastructure cost efficiency. Produces a strategic risk matrix, architecture scorecard, and ranked investment priorities. Use when you need a technical strategy review, architecture assessment, scaling readiness check, tech debt audit, engineering velocity evaluation, Series A technical due diligence, or CTO-level briefing before a board meeting or fundraise. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install cto-review` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/cto-review/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

cto-review runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

In Claude Code, type `/cto-review` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
