Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo to track requests across microservices and identify performance bottlenecks. Use when debugging microservices, analyzing request flows, or implementing observability for distributed systems.
Use when designing microservices architectures, decomposing monoliths, implementing service boundaries, inter-service communication, or asking about "microservices", "service decomposition", "API gateway", "circuit breaker", "distributed systems"
Implement Istio and Linkerd service meshes. Configure mTLS, traffic management, and observability. Use when managing microservices communication.
AWS serverless and event-driven architecture expert based on Well-Architected Framework. Use when building serverless APIs, Lambda functions, REST APIs, microservices, or async workflows. Covers Lambda with TypeScript/Python, API Gateway (REST/HTTP), DynamoDB, Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS, SNS, and serverless patterns. Essential when user mentions serverless, Lambda, API Gateway, event-driven, async processing, queues, pub/sub, or wants to build scalable serverless applications with AWS best practices.
PROACTIVELY build backend APIs with Node.js/TypeScript and Go. Use when designing APIs, implementing auth, or building microservices. Applies Clean Architecture, SOLID, DRY, YAGNI, KISS principles.
Use when creating professional architecture diagrams, cloud infrastructure visuals, network topologies, Kubernetes cluster diagrams, or microservices architecture diagrams as PNG/SVG images using Python Diagrams library with real provider icons (AWS, Azure, GCP, K8s, OnPrem, Generic)
Use when facing complex decisions, architectural trade-offs, philosophical questions, or any problem requiring deep analysis before action. Use when the user asks to "think deeply", "question assumptions", "analyze from first principles", "challenge this decision", debates between two approaches (e.g. monolith vs microservices, build vs buy, SSR vs CSR), or invokes /socrates. Also triggered when other skills need a thinking engine for rigorous pre-analysis. Even if the problem seems simple, if there are hidden assumptions worth examining, this skill applies.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design system architecture", "evaluate microservices vs monolith", "create architecture diagrams", "analyze dependencies", "choose a database", "plan for scalability", "make technical decisions", or "review system design". Use for architecture decision records (ADRs), tech stack evaluation, system design reviews, dependency analysis, and generating architecture diagrams in Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII format.
Implement distributed transactions using the Saga Pattern in Spring Boot microservices. Use when building microservices requiring transaction management across multiple services, handling compensating transactions, ensuring eventual consistency, or implementing choreography or orchestration-based sagas with Spring Boot, Kafka, or Axon Framework.
Implement production-ready service mesh deployments with Istio, Linkerd, or Cilium. Configure mTLS, authorization policies, traffic routing, and progressive delivery patterns for secure, observable microservices. Use when setting up service-to-service communication, implementing zero-trust security, or enabling canary deployments.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design REST APIs", "optimize database queries", "implement authentication", "build microservices", "review backend code", "set up GraphQL", "handle database migrations", or "load test APIs". Use for Node.js/Express/Fastify development, PostgreSQL optimization, API security, and backend architecture patterns.
