Engineering

Data scientist agent — exploratory analysis, statistical modelling, ML pipelines, and data storytelling. Use when working with data, models, notebooks, or analytics tasks.

Backend owner — API design, data modelling, service reliability, and system integration. Use when building or reviewing server-side logic, APIs, databases, or async workers.

Site reliability and platform engineer — infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes, observability, incident response, and performance. Use for SRE reviews, runbook authoring, platform work, or reliability analysis.

Crew delivery lead and orchestrator — owns the delivery plan, keeps the crew coordinated, and delegates work to the right specialist at the right time. Use when starting an initiative, planning a sprint, unblocking the crew, or preparing stakeholder updates.

Frontend engineer and UI/UX designer — component architecture, accessibility, visual design systems, and end-to-end testing. Use when building UIs, reviewing frontend code, designing flows, or running Playwright tests.

Install, initialise, and operate the beads (bd) task board — the engineering crew's shared, git-native, dependency-aware issue tracker. Use to set up beads in a project, wire the MCP server across Claude Code / Copilot CLI, or when creating tasks, adding dependencies, claiming work, or coordinating via comments on the board.

Reviews code for bugs, security issues, and best practices. Use when reviewing PRs, checking code quality, or auditing changes.

Structured EDA and statistical analysis workflow. Use when exploring a new dataset, building an analysis notebook, or answering a data question.

Author, lint, diff, and export DESIGN.md files — Google's open spec for communicating visual identity to coding agents. Use when establishing a design system, creating design tokens, or ensuring Nova has a machine-readable brand spec to build UI against.

Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
