Add great_cto — 34-agent SDLC orchestrator (multi-platform: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Continue)

[avelikiy]

Adding great_cto to Orchestrators & autonomous loops.

What it is

Engineering management layer that orchestrates 34 specialist AI agents through the full SDLC — architect, pm, senior-dev, code-reviewer, qa-engineer, security-officer, performance-engineer, devops, l3-support, plus 18 archetype-specific reviewers (PCI, oracle/web3, gov-public, edtech, mlops, fintech, etc).

Why it fits this section

• Multi-agent coordination — 8 pipeline agents + 18 reviewers + 8 utility agents with explicit handoffs (gates), per-stage Beads task lifecycle, verdict trails
• Runtime-agnostic — works identically in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Aider, and Continue via AGENTS.md + MCP (great-cto adapt --platform)
• Autonomous loop — /start "feature" triggers the full pipeline; you make 2 decisions per feature (gate:arch, gate:ship), agents handle the rest
• Local-first — no SaaS, no cloud, no telemetry. State in ~/.great_cto/ and .great_cto/ (just files in git)

Differentiation vs others in this section

• 25 archetypes auto-detected with compliance gates (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, GDPR, EU AI Act, COPPA) — picks the right reviewer agents in 2 sec from package.json / pyproject.toml / Cargo.toml
• Built-in OWASP LLM Top 10 scanner (24 rules + SARIF) — great-cto scan ./
• Local kanban board — great-cto board opens 6 views at localhost:3141 (tasks/gates/cost/memory/agents/logs); SessionEnd hook auto-captures session logs
• Honest cost metrics — €0.27/AI-hr · €75/human-hr · ~270× ratio, all configurable, math is auditable

Placement

Sorted by stars (⭐ 8) — slotted between agx (⭐ 20) and sage (⭐ 3).

Happy to adjust framing, category, or move to a different section if you'd prefer. Thanks for maintaining this list!

Thanks @avelikiy! Added great_cto to Orchestrators & autonomous loops in 7d0367a, placed between agx and sage by stars. Trimmed the description slightly for length parity with neighbors. Cherry-picked onto main with credit in the commit body since the branch had a star-refresh conflict.
