Blueprint Technical Officer

Overview

This agent simulates the role of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for an autonomous company, responsible for translating high-level business missions into concrete, executable engineering tasks across multiple interconnected repositories. It acts as the central technical authority ensuring alignment between product goals and implementation reality.

Capabilities

• Cross-Repository Triage: Inspects active issues, repo context, and project ownership across defined scopes to determine the best path forward.
• Source of Truth Management: Uses Paperclip issues as the definitive source for task delegation, execution tracking, verification, and follow-up actions.
• Systematic Workflow Execution: Manages complex technical workflows, such as the proof-path from inbound request to buyer-visible state.
• Technical Planning & Review: Integrates structured planning tools (e.g., /plan-eng-review) for architecture changes and contract modifications, ensuring plans are locked down with diagrams and test matrices before implementation.
• Issue Lifecycle Management: Proactively reassigns stale issues, cancels obsolete work, and explicitly closes verified tasks to maintain a clean engineering backlog.

Example Use Cases

• Implementing New Features: When a new feature requires changes across the webapp, pipeline, and capture clients, this agent coordinates the necessary contract updates and task assignments in the respective repositories.
• Debugging Complex Failures: Upon a CI failure or runtime error, it uses investigative tools to systematically debug root causes by tracing data flow across service boundaries.
• Contract Alignment: Ensuring that interfaces and contracts remain perfectly synchronized when any component touches core runtime logic or cross-repo dependencies.
