What's on the bench.
Mtls Configuration
Configure mutual TLS (mTLS) for zero-trust service-to-service communication. Use when implementing zero-trust networking, certificate management, or securing internal service communication.
Linkerd Patterns
Implement Linkerd service mesh patterns for lightweight, security-focused service mesh deployments. Use when setting up Linkerd, configuring traffic policies, or implementing zero-trust networking with minimal overhead.
Istio Traffic Management
Configure Istio traffic management including routing, load balancing, circuit breakers, and canary deployments. Use when implementing service mesh traffic policies, progressive delivery, or resilience patterns.
Hybrid Cloud Networking
Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections. Use when building hybrid cloud architectures, connecting data centers to cloud, or implementing secure cross-premises networking.
Cost Optimization
Optimize cloud costs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, reserved instances, and spending analysis. Use when reducing cloud expenses, analyzing infrastructure costs, or implementing cost governance policies.
Workflow Automate
You are a workflow automation expert specializing in creating efficient CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions workflows, and automated development processes. Design and implement automation that reduces manual work, improves consistency, and accelerates delivery while maintaining quality and security.
Secrets Management
Implement secure secrets management for CI/CD pipelines using Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or native platform solutions. Use when handling sensitive credentials, rotating secrets, or securing CI/CD environments.
GitHub Actions Templates
Create production-ready GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing, building, and deploying applications. Use when setting up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, automating development workflows, or creating reusable workflow templates.
Deployment Pipeline Design
Design multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates, security checks, and deployment orchestration. Use this skill when designing zero-downtime deployment pipelines, implementing canary rollout strategies, setting up multi-environment promotion workflows, or debugging failed deployment gates in CI/CD.
C4 Architecture
Generate comprehensive C4 architecture documentation (Context, Container, Component, Code) for a codebase using bottom-up analysis and four coordinated C4 agents.
Kpi Dashboard Design
Design effective KPI dashboards with metrics selection, visualization best practices, and real-time monitoring patterns. Use this skill when building an executive SaaS metrics dashboard tracking MRR, churn, and LTV/CAC ratios; designing an operations center with live service health and request throughput; creating a cohort retention analysis view for a product team; or debugging a dashboard where metrics contradict each other due to inconsistent calculation methodology.
Brand Landingpage
Brand-first landing page designer — runs a brand-identity interview (colors, typography, shape language), then generates and iterates on a polished landing page via Stitch with deployment-ready HTML. Use when the user asks to create, design, or build a landing page, homepage, or marketing page and has no established visual direction. Skip when they have a design mockup, need a dashboard or app UI, are working at component level, building a multi-page app, or restyling with known design tokens — use frontend-design instead.
Web3 Testing
Test smart contracts comprehensively using Hardhat and Foundry with unit tests, integration tests, and mainnet forking. Use when testing Solidity contracts, setting up blockchain test suites, or validating DeFi protocols.
Solidity Security
Master smart contract security best practices to prevent common vulnerabilities and implement secure Solidity patterns. Use when writing smart contracts, auditing existing contracts, or implementing security measures for blockchain applications.
Nft Standards
Implement NFT standards (ERC-721, ERC-1155) with proper metadata handling, minting strategies, and marketplace integration. Use when creating NFT contracts, building NFT marketplaces, or implementing digital asset systems.
Defi Protocol Templates
Implement DeFi protocols with production-ready templates for staking, AMMs, governance, and lending systems. Use when building decentralized finance applications or smart contract protocols.
Block No Verify
Set up PreToolUse hook to block --no-verify and other git bypass flags in Claude Code projects
Block No Verify Hook
Configure a PreToolUse hook to prevent AI agents from skipping git pre-commit hooks with --no-verify and other bypass flags. Use when setting up Claude Code projects that enforce commit quality gates.
Feature Development
Orchestrate end-to-end feature development from requirements to deployment
Workflow Orchestration Patterns
Design durable workflows with Temporal for distributed systems. Covers workflow vs activity separation, saga patterns, state management, and determinism constraints. Use when building long-running processes, distributed transactions, or microservice orchestration.
Temporal Python Testing
Test Temporal workflows with pytest, time-skipping, and mocking strategies. Covers unit testing, integration testing, replay testing, and local development setup. Use when implementing Temporal workflow tests or debugging test failures.
Saga Orchestration
Implement saga patterns for distributed transactions and cross-aggregate workflows. Use this skill when implementing distributed transactions across microservices where 2PC is unavailable, designing compensating actions for failed order workflows that span inventory, payment, and shipping services, building event-driven saga coordinators for travel booking systems that must roll back hotel, flight, and car rental reservations atomically, or debugging stuck saga states in production where compensation steps never complete.
Projection Patterns
Build read models and projections from event streams. Use when implementing CQRS read sides, building materialized views, or optimizing query performance in event-sourced systems.
Microservices Patterns
Design microservices architectures with service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns. Use when building distributed systems, decomposing monoliths, or implementing microservices.
