🏛️ spring-boot × gov-public

Ship government / public sector on Spring Boot without losing weeks to compliance.

Spring Boot is a Java natural fit 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 Spring Boot workflow.

What changes when GreatCTO joins your Spring Boot project

Detection → overlay → gates → reviewers.

1 · DETECT

Stack + archetype

GreatCTO reads your pom.xml / build.gradle and detects spring-boot + 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 Spring Boot-style projects.

3 · GATES

Spring Boot-aware reviewers

qa-engineer runs ./gradlew check / SpotBugs / JaCoCo coverage; security-officer scans for deserialization sinks + Spring SpEL injection; performance-engineer profiles JVM + GC patterns.

4 · MEMORY

Cross-project lessons

Bugs you've hit before in other Spring Boot 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).

⚐ 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.

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 →
