Designs and builds reusable Terraform modules. Use when creating reusable infrastructure patterns, encapsulating complex resource groups, standardizing configurations across projects, or organizing code for maintainability. Covers module structure, versioning, composition, and best practices for production modules.
17 principles of Unix software design, from Eric Raymond's *The Art of Unix Programming*. You can refer to these principles when carrying out software design.
Production deployment principles and decision-making. Safe deployment workflows, rollback strategies, and verification. Teaches thinking, not scripts.
Use when optimizing GitLab CI/CD pipelines for performance, reliability, or maintainability. Covers pipeline optimization and organizational patterns.
Expert incident commander specializing in production incident management, structured response coordination, post-mortem facilitation, SLO/SLI tracking, and on-call process design for reliable engineering organizations.
Use this spell when you need to see what is happening right now on a distant system rather than reading stale logs or cached reports.
Apply James's technology choices and exclusions when selecting stacks, building software, adding dependencies, reviewing architecture or considering migrations. Flag meaningful deviations early, ask before unfamiliar technology, and respect recorded decisions.
Senior Terraform and Infrastructure as Code engineer. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Terraform configurations. Enforces modular design and production patterns.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a GitHub Actions workflow", "set up CI/CD", "configure GitHub Actions", "add automated testing", "deploy with GitHub Actions", or needs guidance on GitHub Actions workflows, syntax, or automation.
