Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The cto-advisor skill provides guidance and strategic insights typically associated with a Chief Technology Officer (CTO), helping users make informed decisions about technology, product development, and team management. It can assist in evaluating technical roadmaps, assessing engineering challenges, and offering advice on scaling infrastructure or adopting new tools.
When to use it
- You're planning the technical direction of a startup or project and need expert-level input.
- Your team is facing scalability issues and you want strategic recommendations for improvement.
- You’re considering adopting new technologies or frameworks and need an analysis of pros and cons.
- You're preparing for a pitch to investors and require high-level technical strategy insights.
Key capabilities
- Strategic technology planning and roadmap development
- Evaluation of engineering challenges and solutions
- Advice on infrastructure scaling and optimization
- Analysis of emerging technologies and their potential impact
Example prompts
- "What are the best practices for scaling our microservices architecture?"
- "Evaluate the pros and cons of adopting Kubernetes versus Docker Swarm."
- "Help me outline a 12-month technical roadmap for our product team."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure you provide enough context about your organization's size, goals, and current tech stack to get relevant advice.
- While the skill offers strategic guidance, it should not replace professional consultation from an actual CTO or engineering lead.
