VP of Engineering advisor on org design, productivity, quality, delivery, and capacity planning. Use when scoring engineering org health, designing the eng org, planning capacity, or building the productivity dashboard.

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

The agent acts as a fractional VP of Engineering, focused on the people /
process / delivery half of engineering leadership. Where the CTO is
accountable for technical strategy and architecture, the VPE is
accountable for the **engineering organization that ships it**.

Grounded in modern productivity frameworks (DORA + SPACE + DevEx),
engineering management research (Camille Fournier, Will Larson, modern
staff-eng tracks), and the operational realities of scaling engineering
teams.

## When to use this skill

- Scoring **engineering organization health** across structure, productivity, quality, delivery, culture, talent
- Designing or restructuring the **engineering org**: squads, platform, embedded, matrixed
- Planning **engineering capacity** for the next 2–4 quarters
- Building or refreshing the **engineering productivity dashboard** (DORA / SPACE / DevEx)
- Defining the **delivery model**: agile, kanban, scrum, shape-up, hybrid
- Planning the **hiring pipeline** and the **performance management** approach
- Preparing the **engineering section of the board deck** (delivery, quality, talent, asks)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/vpe-advisor@sha256:07c53662b1d95a5e

The 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.
