Use when delivery is slowing, eng hiring is broken, team structure is unclear or you need to decide when to add an eng manager. Runs delivery_throughput_analyzer.py (DORA), eng_hiring_funnel_calculator.py and eng_team_structure_designer.py.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# VP of Engineering Advisor Strategic engineering operations leadership for startup VPEs and founders without one. **Four decisions, no generic engineering survey:** 1. **Are we delivering at the right throughput?** — DORA 4 metrics + bottleneck identification (where work waits) 2. **How do we scale the eng hiring funnel?** — funnel math + pipeline gap + time-to-fill discipline 3. **What's our team structure — and when do we add a tech-lead manager?** — squad/tribe/chapter design + manager-trigger 4. **What's our production discipline?** — on-call rotation, deployment cadence, postmortem culture (reference-only) This skill is **NOT a CTO skill**. CTO owns *what to build* (architecture, scaling cliffs, build-vs-buy). VPE owns *how to ship it reliably* (delivery, hiring, team structure, production operations). At early stage these are often the same person; at scale they're distinct roles. This skill is **NOT a cs-engineering-lead replacement**. Engineering-lead owns day-to-day incident and on-call coordination. VPE owns the operating model that engineering-lead executes. ## Keywords …

How to install
mdr add alirezarezvani/claude-skills/vpe-advisor@sha256:d6138f968002abddThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
