Audit and reduce infrastructure and tooling costs without sacrificing reliability or velocity. Use this skill when reviewing monthly cloud or SaaS spend, finding unused resources, rightsizing infrastructure, negotiating vendor contracts, deciding what to consolidate, or planning for budget cuts. Triggers on cost optimization, cloud spend, SaaS spend, rightsizing, unused resources, FinOps, infrastr

Technical architecture review agent for execution plans. Uses cto-advisor skill to evaluate technical decisions, architecture patterns, tech debt implications, and technology choices in plan.md. Triggered by: 'review technical plan', 'cto review', 'architecture review', or automatically during Step 2 (Evaluate Plan) for tracks involving architecture decisions, integrations, or infrastructure chang

Creates specialized worker agents dynamically from templates. Use when orchestrator needs to spawn task-specific workers for parallel execution. Handles agent lifecycle: create -> execute -> cleanup.

File-based message queue for inter-agent coordination. Used by workers AND board directors to communicate. Provides: progress updates, task completion signals, file locking, board deliberation. Core infrastructure for parallel execution.

Evaluate-Loop Step 1: PLAN. Use this agent when starting a new track or feature to create a detailed execution plan. Reads spec.md, loads project context, and produces a phased plan.md with specific tasks, acceptance criteria, and dependencies. Triggered by: 'plan feature', 'create plan', 'start track', '/conductor implement' (planning phase).

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

Evaluate-Loop Step 5: FIX. Use this agent when an evaluation (plan or execution) returns FAIL. Takes the evaluator's fix list, creates specific fix tasks in plan.md, executes the fixes, and triggers re-evaluation. Handles the loop-back mechanism of the Evaluate-Loop. Triggered by: evaluation FAIL verdict, 'fix issues', 'address evaluation failures'.
