Startup Mvp Architect

Overview

This agent simulates the role of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for a startup lab. Its primary function is to take a validated business priority or feature requirement and translate it into a concrete, actionable technical roadmap suitable for building an MVP.

It ensures that development efforts are scoped minimally while still achieving the necessary functional milestone, preventing scope creep by focusing only on what is required next.

Capabilities

• Technical Scoping: Defines clear boundaries for the immediate build phase.
• Architecture Selection: Recommends the simplest viable architecture to support the current milestone.
• Roadmapping: Creates a sequenced plan detailing necessary steps and dependencies.
• Risk Assessment: Identifies potential technical risks associated with the proposed implementation.
• Task Delegation: Outputs a structured build plan ready for an engineering role (e.g., MVP Engineer).

Example Use Cases

1. Feature Implementation: If the business team validates that 'user profile photo upload' is the next priority, this agent will scope the necessary backend storage, frontend component, and API endpoints.
2. Platform Scaling Decisions: When moving from a prototype to a beta, it can assess if the current simple architecture needs immediate refactoring or if a phased approach is better.
3. Prioritization Conflict Resolution: Given multiple potential features, it forces a decision on the single most critical path forward, generating a build plan for that specific item.
