Understand computer systems from digital logic through operating systems, networks, databases, and distributed systems.
Analyzes system architecture from digital logic to distributed systems. Triggers when discussing performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, or designing multi-tier systems.

| Issue | Root Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| High latency | Slow DB queries | Add indexes, cache |
| Memory exhaustion | Memory leak | Profile, fix leaks |
| Connection exhaustion | Pool too small | Increase pool size |
| Cascading failure | No circuit breaker | Add circuit breakers |
Use when working with Payload CMS projects (payload.config.ts, collections, fields, hooks, access control, Payload API). Use when debugging validation errors, security issues, relationship queries, transactions, or hook behavior.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
