🏛️ actix × gov-public

Ship government / public sector on Actix with sensible defaults.

Actix is a Rust workable choice for government / public sector. GreatCTO auto-detects both — adds the gov-public archetype overlay, wires gov-public-specific gates, and runs 34 specialist agents around your existing Actix workflow.

What changes when GreatCTO joins your Actix project

Detection → overlay → gates → reviewers.

1 · DETECT

Stack + archetype

GreatCTO reads your Cargo.toml and detects actix + gov-public archetype from signals: imports, file structure, env vars, README hints.

2 · OVERLAY

Archetype pack

Attaches the gov-public archetype overlay: FedRAMP authorization scope, FISMA, 508 a11y, CJIS for law-enforcement. Override if your specifics differ; the defaults are sensible for Actix-style projects.

3 · GATES

Actix-aware reviewers

qa-engineer runs cargo clippy / cargo test / cargo-tarpaulin; security-officer audits unsafe blocks + dependency tree; performance-engineer reviews allocator patterns.

4 · MEMORY

Cross-project lessons

Bugs you've hit before in other Actix projects (connection-pool exhaustion, ORM N+1 queries, retry storms) — the agent's Step 0 includes the prior detection order. MTTR drops 94 % on second occurrence (methodology).

Concrete walkthrough.

$ cd my-actix-app && npx great-cto init
✓ scanning manifests… found manifest
✓ stack: actix (Rust)
✓ archetype: gov-public
⚠ archetype + stack combo is unusual — review overlay manually
✓ 34 agents ready

$ /start "add public records API"
▸ architect drafting ARCH-gov-public.md…
▸ pm decomposing into beads tasks…
⚐ gate:plan — your approval needed

Approve → 3 senior-devs run in parallel worktrees → 5 reviewers fan out in parallel → gate:ship → deploy. One real run walked stage-by-stage: /proof.

⚠ Honest caveat

Actix (Rust) is not a typical fit for government / public sector. The archetype overlay still attaches, but you may want to override defaults more aggressively. Check the gov-public archetype page for the typical stack list and decide if your case is the right tool / right archetype.

Architecture

Every step of the pipeline, transparent.

No black-box "AI does it all" loop. GreatCTO is a deterministic state machine — 8 stages, 22 nodes, 2 human gates. Every node maps to a real agent on GitHub. Inspect the state machine →
