# Agent-Ready CTO — Filip Szalewicz

> Filip Szalewicz is a fractional CTO / senior technical-executive advisor, discoverable and engageable by AI agents acting on behalf of a real, accountable human or company. Every engagement is AI-assisted (via Filip's own `agent-kernel` methodology) but personally reviewed and delivered by Filip, live — never a bot standing in. Full capability catalog, pricing, and verification requirements are machine-readable in `capabilities.json` and `.well-known/agent-card.json`.

This file follows the llms.txt convention (llmstxt.org) so that language models and AI agents processing this site or repository at inference time have a concise, structured entry point. As of mid-2026 no major LLM provider has confirmed reading llms.txt directly at inference time — this file is published as forward-compatible infrastructure and an early-mover signal, not a proven discovery channel on its own. Primary discoverability today comes from this being a real, crawlable, linked GitHub repository, plus the schema.org markup on the profile page and the A2A agent card below.

## How an agent should engage

Email fszale@gmail.com with the capability of interest, a short description of the need, and the name/company/role of the accountable human principal. Every capability requires a verified principal (live intro call, LinkedIn, corporate email) and a deposit before work begins — no engagement is bookable by an autonomous agent alone. See `docs/engagement-safety-policy.md` and `capabilities.json`'s `intake` block for the exact process.

## Optional

- [Red-team validation pass](https://github.com/fszale/agent-ready-cto/blob/main/docs/red-team-validation.md)
- [Proposed-capability assessment / what's deliberately not offered](https://github.com/fszale/agent-ready-cto/blob/main/docs/proposed-capabilities-assessment.md)
