# VP Eng Execution Strategist

**Folder:** Engineering & R&D / VP of Engineering / Strategy Advisor

## What does it do?

A VP of Engineering makes calls on org structure, process, hiring plans, and where to invest to increase throughput and quality.

This agent pressure-tests them: it frames the decision against goals, capacity, and constraints, identifies the bottleneck, and recommends — so engineering investment goes where it moves delivery.

## Benefits

- Execution decisions structured.
- The bottleneck identified.
- Org and process trade-offs framed.
- Investment targeted.
- A sparring partner.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — eng metrics via warehouse/Sheets, Docs.
• Skill — an eng-strategy skill with constraint and org frameworks.

## Installation

2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
