Skills

API and Schema Design

Skill	Description
api-design	Design RESTful and RPC APIs following best practices. Generates OpenAPI specs, validates endpoint naming, and suggests pagination, versioning, and error-handling patterns.
graphql-schema	Design GraphQL schemas with proper type hierarchies, resolvers, and query optimization. Handles N+1 detection and DataLoader patterns.

Infrastructure

Skill	Description
terraform	Write and review Terraform configurations. Handles provider setup, module composition, state management, and plan review.
kubernetes	Author Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and kustomize overlays. Covers deployments, services, ingress, RBAC, and resource limits.
docker-compose	Create and optimize Docker Compose files. Handles multi-service orchestration, networking, volumes, and health checks.
deploy-on-cloudru-vm	dz-original. Repo URL → running app on a Cloud.ru VM: clone & analyze the repo, ensure/synthesize a docker-compose.yml, ask for the 4 missing Cloud.ru credentials (list-zones/list-images help pick), deploy via the cloudru-vm CLI, verify, and hand back the app URL + ssh string. Triggers on “задеплой в cloud.ru”, “deploy this repo to a VM”.
nginx-config	Generate and optimize Nginx configurations for reverse proxy, load balancing, SSL termination, and caching.
redis-patterns	Implement Redis data structures and caching strategies. Covers pub/sub, streams, cluster setup, and eviction policies.

CI/CD and Git

Skill	Description
github-actions	Author GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD, testing, deployment, and release automation. Handles matrix builds, caching, and artifact management.
ci-fix	Debug and repair broken CI pipelines. Analyzes logs, identifies flaky tests, resolves dependency conflicts, and fixes environment issues.
pr-review	Automated pull request review. Checks code quality, test coverage, security concerns, naming conventions, and provides actionable feedback.
problem-management	ITIL Problem Management — eliminate the root causes behind recurring incidents and run a prioritized known-error backlog. Distinct from incident-response (which restores service); this finds and removes the underlying defect. Triggers on “problem management”, “root cause”, “RCA”, “known error”.
itsm-itil	dz-original. The connective ITIL/ITSM framework — incidents, problems, known-errors and changes (RFCs) as linked Markdown tickets with an explicit state machine, prioritized by WSJF; orchestrates incident-response + problem-management. Methodology inspired by the MIT @windyroad/itil plugin, rewritten clean-room (no plugin code/hooks/bin). Triggers on “ITIL”, “ITSM”, “WSJF”, “known error backlog”, “incident vs problem”.
git-conflict-resolve	Resolve Git merge conflicts systematically. Analyzes both sides of the conflict, understands intent, and produces clean merges.

Testing

Skill	Description
playwright-testing	Write end-to-end tests with Playwright. Covers page objects, fixtures, visual regression, and cross-browser testing.
test-writer	Generate unit and integration tests for any codebase. Supports vitest, jest, pytest, and Go testing. Targets boundary values and edge cases.

Data

Skill	Description
database-migration	Design and execute database schema migrations. Handles up/down migrations, data transforms, zero-downtime deployments, and rollback plans.
database-review	Review database schemas and queries for performance, normalization, indexing, and security (SQL injection prevention).
data-pipeline	Design ETL and data pipeline architectures. Covers batch and streaming patterns, data validation, error handling, and monitoring.

Security

Skill	Description
security-audit	Comprehensive security vulnerability assessment. Scans for OWASP Top 10, dependency vulnerabilities, secret exposure, and misconfiguration.
codeql-fix	Resolve CodeQL security alerts. Maps alerts to code locations, explains the vulnerability, and generates targeted fixes.

Operations

Skill	Description
incident-response	Structured incident triage and resolution. Guides through severity classification, root cause analysis, mitigation, and post-mortem documentation.
observability	Set up logging, metrics, and distributed tracing. Covers OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and structured logging patterns.
monorepo-management	Manage monorepo tooling — workspace configuration, dependency graphs, selective builds, and publish orchestration.
provider-debug	Debug cloud provider issues (AWS, GCP, Azure). Analyzes error codes, IAM permissions, quota limits, and service-specific gotchas.

Development

Skill	Description
debugging	Systematic debugging workflows. Guides through hypothesis formation, isolation, reproduction, and fix verification. Works across languages and frameworks.
frontend-implementation	Implement frontend components from designs or specifications. Covers React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS with accessibility and responsive patterns.

Architecture and Process

Skill	Description
c4-architecture	Generates and validates C4 architecture diagrams — context, container, component, and code level views.
retrospective	Facilitates sprint and project retrospectives — what went well, what to improve, action items with owners.
risk-assessment	Scores pipeline risks, validates commits for security issues, and detects secret leaks before push.
