Overview
About This Skill
CTO OS is a collection of 4 expert Claude Skills designed for CTOs and engineering leaders. The skills embed proven methodologies across architecture decisions, DORA metrics implementation, strategic technology roadmaps, and risk management. Each skill provides frameworks, templates, and guidance for critical leadership decisions—from evaluating tech stacks and creating Architecture Decision Records to setting up engineering KPIs, aligning technology with business strategy, and conducting security audits. Engineering leaders use these skills to systematically document decisions, measure team performance, plan strategic initiatives, and manage organizational risk.
