great_cto
AI Agents & AssistantsAn AI‑powered “engineering team” that automatically reviews, builds and ships code for solo CTOs at roughly $34 per month.
Features
- Provides 57 specialist AI agents (architect, reviewer, QA, security, devops, etc.) tailored to your stack and jurisdiction.
- Automates the entire development pipeline with only two human gates per feature: planning and shipping.
- Tracks LLM cost versus a human‑equivalent baseline, showing dramatic savings (e.g., $2.39 vs $5,460 for one feature).

- Removed `great-cto scan` CLI command and its `--severity` / `--scanner` flags
- Removed `great-cto list-rules` CLI command

Full changelog
Removed: AgentShield scanner
The bundled AgentShield static scanner has been fully removed. It was an
AI-security pattern scanner (OWASP LLM Top 10) that shipped its own CLI
commands, MCP tools, rule files, and SARIF/JUnit output. Pre-implementation
threat modelling is now owned entirely by the ai-security-reviewer agent,
which is a better fit for the gated-pipeline model.
Breaking — removed CLI surface:
great-cto scancommand (+--severity/--scannerflags)great-cto list-rulescommandscanandlist_rulesMCP tools (MCP now exposes 7 tools:
detect_archetype,estimate_cost,query_decisions,project_status,
cost_summary,pipeline_stages,recent_verdicts)- The
~/.great_cto/guardrails.ymlfile is no longer created on bootstrap agentshield-rules/rule files dropped from the published npm package
great-cto ci survives — the command now runs archetype-drift and
budget checks only (--no-archetype / --no-budget to skip). Existing CI
pipelines keep working but no longer fail on security findings.
Unchanged: the secret-scan pre-commit hook is a separate subsystem and
is unaffected. Per-file opt-out remains // great_cto:allow-secrets; the
whole hook honours GREAT_CTO_DISABLE_SECRET_SCAN=1.
