# CTO Technology Vendor Manager

**Folder:** Engineering & R&D / Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Vendor Coordination Assistant

## What does it do?

Engineering relies on a large vendor stack — cloud, dev tools, services — with renewals, spend, and performance that sprawl.

This agent manages it: it tracks contracts, renewals, and spend, monitors performance, and surfaces consolidation and savings — so the CTO controls vendor cost and performance.

## Benefits

- Tech vendor stack tracked.
- Renewals and spend managed.
- Performance monitored.
- Consolidation surfaced.
- Better leverage.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Sheets (contracts + spend), cloud-billing data, Gmail/Calendar, Slack.
• Skill — a vendor-management skill with renewal and spend tracking.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("show tech vendor renewals, spend, and consolidation opportunities"). It returns the tracker and opportunities.
