Set up the CTO

The CTO needs a working AI provider and enough project context to make useful decisions.

Setup checklist

Verify a strong provider

In Settings -> AI Providers, choose a model you trust for planning and review.

Connect GitHub

Recommended for PR summaries, CI explanations, and review follow-up.

Connect Linear

Optional. Use it when issues should map to lanes, PRs, and CTO updates.

Create or review workers

Add worker identities for recurring responsibilities, such as testing or PR review.

Ask for a summary

Start with: Summarize the current project state and identify the highest-risk open work.

Look across active lanes and tell me what is ready for review.

Plan how to split this feature into reviewable lanes before anyone starts coding.

Read Linear issue ENG-142 and recommend the first lane to create.

What the CTO is for.

Manage delegated agent identities.
