Use this whenever an OpenChoreo task needs a platform-level change or investigation: cluster setup, Helm upgrades, kubectl work, plane connectivity, platform resources, ComponentTypes, Traits, Workflows, gateways, secret stores, identity, GitOps, observability, or cluster-side debugging. If the same task also involves deploying or debugging an application through `occ`, activate `openchoreo-developer` too instead of waiting to escalate later.
Expert in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDP), self-service infrastructure, and Golden Paths using Backstage, Crossplane, and Kubernetes.
Design and implement Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) with self-service capabilities, golden paths, and developer experience optimization. Covers platform strategy, IDP architecture (Backstage, Port), infrastructure orchestration (Crossplane), GitOps (Argo CD), and adoption patterns. Use when building developer platforms, improving DevEx, or establishing platform teams.
Build internal developer platforms (IDPs) with self-service infrastructure, golden paths, and developer portals using Backstage, Crossplane, and score.
Define your organization's platform engineering standards by generating a Platform-Engineering-Constitution.md. Use when establishing or updating cloud infrastructure policies, approved tooling, compute platforms, and IaC conventions.
Guides product infrastructure security—securing the runtime, data plane, and control plane that ships with the product: multi-tenant isolation, service-to-service auth, customer data boundaries, secure defaults in APIs and workers, abuse-resistant rate limits, product-scoped secrets and encryption, and security design reviews for product infra changes. Use when threat-modeling product features, designing tenant isolation, hardening service mesh or internal APIs, reviewing product IaC/modules for data leaks, defining secure baselines for microservices the product team owns, or partnering on incidents affecting customer workloads—not for corporate IdP/SIEM (information-security-engineer), CI pipeline gates only (devsecops), SOC operations (defensive-security-analyst), authorized pentest execution (offensive-security-analyst), general IDP golden paths (platform-engineer), company-wide GRC (cybersecurity), or applied AI solution architecture for LLM features (applied-ai-architect-commercial-enterprise).
Guides CI/CD for agent skills repositories and skill packages—pipeline design (build, test, validate, package), GitHub Actions for PR checks and release promotion, environment gates, secrets hygiene (no secrets in repo), skill-creator integration (quick_validate.py, package_skill.py), .skill artifact strategy, rollback, and operational runbooks for skill releases. Use when the user mentions CI/CD, CI/CD engineer, pipeline design, GitHub Actions, skill validation CI, package skills, release pipeline, deploy skills, PR checks, continuous integration, or skill release workflow—not application-only CI without skill packaging (devops), pre-flight plan go/no-go (build-validator), IDP or golden paths (platform-engineer), org-wide SLO and error-budget programs without pipeline ownership (site-reliability-engineer), or portfolio catalog governance without pipeline YAML (ai-skill-manager).
Guides microservice design and delivery—bounded contexts, service boundaries, REST/gRPC/event APIs, sync vs async tradeoffs, resilience (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads), per-service data ownership, saga and outbox patterns, twelve-factor containers, observability (logs, metrics, trace propagation), API versioning at gateways/meshes, and contract testing. Use for microservices developer, service boundary, bounded context, gRPC between services, circuit breaker, saga pattern, outbox pattern, twelve-factor, contract testing microservices, service decomposition, or event-driven microservice—not K8s platform ops (platform-engineer, site-reliability-engineer), enterprise iPaaS (enterprise-integration-api-developer), monolith-first apps (senior-software-engineer), or classified pipelines (classified-software-devsecops-engineer).
Guides senior system and solution architecture—cross-service boundaries, integration patterns, non-functional requirements (scale, reliability, security, cost), ADRs, C4-style modeling, architecture review, build-vs-buy, and phased migration (strangler, dual-write). Use when designing multi-service systems, evaluating platform or vendor choices, writing or reviewing architecture decision records, defining standards and principles, or assessing technical risk across domains—not for single-service RFCs and module design (senior-software-engineer), data platform or mesh decisions (data-architect), cloud landing zone, Well-Architected, and migration architecture (cloud-architect), cloud/IaC implementation (infrastructure-engineer, cloud-engineer), internal developer platform product (platform-engineer), or program tracking (technical-program-manager). For business strategy and cases, use business-consultant; for applied AI (RAG, agents, copilots), use applied-ai-architect-commercial-enterprise.
Expert deployment engineer specializing in modern CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and advanced deployment automation. Masters GitHub Actions, ArgoCD/Flux, progressive delivery, container security, and platform engineering. Handles zero-downtime deployments, security scanning, and developer experience optimization. Use PROACTIVELY for CI/CD design, GitOps implementation, or deployment automation.
Build systems and organizations using the "Tao of HashiCorp". Emphasizes workflows over technologies, simple modular composable tools, immutability, and versioning driven by code. Use when designing platform engineering initiatives, DevOps workflows, or infrastructure automation.
Design optimal cloud architecture based on your platform engineering requirements. Use when planning new services, migrations, or infrastructure changes that must align with organizational standards.
