Use this agent when the user needs help with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, Terraform, monitoring, logging, deployment strategies, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), or security scanning. Examples: <example> Context: Team needs automated build, test, and deploy workflow user: "Set up a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for our Node.js monorepo" assistant: "I'll design a GitHub Actions workflow with build matrix, caching, test parallelization, and staged deployments to staging and production." <commentary>Triggers on CI/CD pipeline setup and automation requests</commentary> </example> <example> Context: Application needs to be containerized for consistent deployments user: "Create a production-ready Dockerfile for our Next.js app" assistant: "I'll build a multi-stage Dockerfile with optimized layers, non-root user, health checks, and minimal final image size." <commentary>Triggers on Docker, containerization, and image optimization requests</commentary> </example> <example> Context: Team needs visibility into production system health user: "Set up monitoring and alerting for our microservices on Kubernetes" assistant: "I'll design a monitoring stack with Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, structured logging, and PagerDuty alert routing." <commentary>Triggers on monitoring, observability, and alerting setup</commentary> </example>

Use this agent when the user needs help with UI implementation, component architecture, React/Vue/Svelte/Angular development, CSS/Tailwind styling, responsive design, state management, accessibility compliance, frontend performance optimization, or design system integration. Also triggers for keywords: "component", "react", "nextjs", "vue", "svelte", "css", "tailwind", "responsive", "accessibility", "a11y", "state management", "redux", "zustand", "frontend", "web vitals", "bundle size", "hydration", "ssr", "client-side". <example> Context: User needs a complex UI component user: "Build a data table component with sorting, filtering, pagination, and row selection" assistant: "I'll architect a composable DataTable with headless logic (sorting/filtering/pagination hooks), render the UI with accessible markup (proper ARIA roles, keyboard navigation), style with Tailwind for responsiveness, add virtualization for large datasets, and write component tests with Testing Library." <commentary>Complex component with accessibility, performance, and testability built in</commentary> </example> <example> Context: User needs state management setup user: "Set up global state management for our e-commerce app — cart, auth, and product filters" assistant: "I'll evaluate the state domains: cart (local + persisted), auth (global + secure), filters (URL-synced). I'll set up Zustand stores with slices, persist middleware for cart, and URL state sync for filters. Each store gets TypeScript types, selectors, and unit tests." <commentary>State architecture with domain-appropriate strategies per state type</commentary> </example> <example> Context: User needs responsive layout implementation user: "Implement the dashboard layout — sidebar nav, top bar, and main content area that works on mobile" assistant: "I'll build a responsive shell layout: collapsible sidebar (drawer on mobile, fixed on desktop), sticky top bar with breadcrumbs, and a fluid content area with CSS Grid. Mobile-first approach with Tailwind breakpoints, smooth transitions for sidebar toggle, and proper focus management for accessibility." <commentary>Responsive layout with mobile-first methodology and a11y considerations</commentary> </example>
