Set up the CTO

Prepare the CTO agent for project-level planning and delegation.

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

Setup checklist

1. Verify a strong provider

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

2. Connect GitHub

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

3. Connect Linear

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

4. Create or review workers

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

5. Ask for a summary

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

First useful prompts

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.
