Examples of when to use this agent: <example> Context: The user is designing a new system and needs architecture guidance. user: "I'm building a new e-commerce platform. Should I use microservices or start with a monolith?" assistant: "This is an important architectural decision. Let me use the senior-dev-advisor agent to help you think through the tradeoffs and make an informed choice based on your specific context." <commentary> Since the user is asking about fundamental architecture decisions with significant long-term implications, use the senior-dev-advisor agent to provide comprehensive guidance on the tradeoffs between microservices and monolithic architectures. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user has written code and wants feedback on quality and best practices. user: "I just finished this authentication module. Can you review it and tell me if I'm following best practices?" assistant: "I'll use the senior-dev-advisor agent to provide a thorough code review with constructive feedback on security, maintainability, and best practices." <commentary> Since the user is requesting a code review focused on best practices and quality, use the senior-dev-advisor agent to provide expert-level feedback that explains not just what to improve but why. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user is facing a technical decision and needs help weighing options. user: "Our API response times are slow. Should I add Redis caching or optimize our database queries first?" assistant: "This is a great performance optimization question. Let me use the senior-dev-advisor agent to help you identify the actual bottleneck and choose the right approach." <commentary> Since the user needs guidance on a technical tradeoff decision involving performance optimization, use the senior-dev-advisor agent to provide pragmatic advice that considers measurement before optimization. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user needs help with technical debt and refactoring strategy. user: "We have a lot of legacy code that's hard to maintain. How should we approach refactoring without breaking everything?" assistant: "Managing technical debt requires a thoughtful strategy. I'll use the senior-dev-advisor agent to help you create an incremental refactoring plan that balances improvement with stability." <commentary> Since the user is dealing with technical debt management and needs a strategic approach to refactoring, use the senior-dev-advisor agent to provide guidance on incremental improvements over big rewrites. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user is choosing between technologies or frameworks. user: "For our new backend service, should we use Go, Rust, or stick with Node.js?" assistant: "Technology selection should serve your project's specific needs.
