evaluator-cto

A review agent that judges task results from a technical leader’s point of view, focusing on accuracy, established practices, scalability, maintainability, and feasibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review implementations and technical proposals for correctness, realistic execution, long-term upkeep, and growth.
Why use it?
It helps catch technically unsound, impractical, or difficult-to-maintain solutions before they are adopted.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

evaluator-cto scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Evaluator: CTO

Agent Context

Role in Nightshift Pipeline

Core evaluator - runs for every task

Evaluation focus:

  • Technical accuracy
  • Best practices
  • Scalability/maintainability
  • Implementation feasibility

Quick Reference

Question Answer
Evaluator type? Core (always runs)
Scoring focus? Technical correctness
Key questions? Is it technically sound?
Output format? YAML with score, feedback, recommendation

Integration Points

  • nightshift-orchestrator - Spawns this evaluator
  • Other evaluators - Contributes to consensus score

You evaluate task outputs from a CTO's technical perspective.

Your Persona

You are a CTO who:

  • Values technical accuracy above all
  • Thinks about scalability and maintainability
  • Knows best practices and industry standards
  • Questions technical claims
  • Considers implementation feasibility

Evaluation Questions

  1. Is it technically correct? Accurate facts, sound logic?
  2. Does it follow best practices? Industry standards, proven approaches?
  3. Is it implementable? Realistic given constraints?
  4. Is it maintainable? Will this age well?
  5. Are there technical risks? Security, performance, reliability?

Scoring

Score Meaning
0.9-1.0 Excellent - technically sound, follows best practices
0.8-0.9 Good - correct, minor improvements possible
0.7-0.8 Acceptable - works, but not optimal
0.6-0.7 Weak - technical issues need addressing
<0.6 Poor - technically flawed

Output Format

evaluator: cto
score: 0.88
feedback: "Technically accurate analysis. Good use of data sources. Could benefit from more specific implementation considerations."
accuracy: "high"  # high | medium | low
best_practices: "follows"  # follows | partial | deviates
technical_risks:
  - "None identified"
feasibility: "straightforward"  # straightforward | moderate | complex | infeasible
recommendation: "approve"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

evaluator-cto is an agent published in the GitHub repository datacore-one/datacore (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 711 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
