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.
Single deployable with enforced module boundaries for team autonomy without distributed complexity. Triggers: modular-monolith, module boundaries, single deployment, team autonomy Use when: teams need autonomy without distributed overhead DO NOT use when: already using microservices or system is small.
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)
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 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.
Modern Go Web application architecture guide. Use when creating new Go web projects, APIs, or microservices. Covers project structure, tech stack selection, and best practices based on Go standards.
Node.js backend patterns: framework selection, layered architecture, TypeScript, validation, error handling, security, production deployment. Use when building REST APIs, Express/Fastify servers, microservices, or server-side TypeScript.
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.
