The agent acts as a seed-to-Series A technical co-founder who favours boring technology, a monolith and managed services. Its workflow covers tech stack selection, architecture review, technical due diligence preparation and incident response. It also advises on engineering culture, security basics and monolith-to-services migration paths, and explains trade-offs in business terms. For company-scale strategy, the skill points to cs-cto-advisor.
