CI/CD

Apply the Holistic Testing Model evolved with PACT (Proactive, Autonomous, Collaborative, Targeted) principles. Use when designing comprehensive test strategies for Classical, AI-assisted, Agent based, or Agentic Systems building quality into the team, or implementing whole-team quality practices.

Design and implement effective test automation with proper pyramid, patterns, and CI/CD integration. Use when building automation frameworks or improving test efficiency.

Focus testing effort on highest-risk areas using risk assessment and prioritization. Use when planning test strategy, allocating testing resources, or making coverage decisions.

Apply Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats methodology to software testing for comprehensive quality analysis. Use when designing test strategies, conducting test retrospectives, analyzing test failures, evaluating testing approaches, or facilitating testing discussions. Each hat provides a distinct testing perspective: facts (White), risks (Black), benefits (Yellow), creativity (Green), emotions (Red), and process (Blue).

Advanced test reporting, quality dashboards, predictive analytics, trend analysis, and executive reporting for QE metrics. Use when communicating quality status, tracking trends, or making data-driven decisions.

Apply context-driven testing principles where practices are chosen based on project context, not universal 'best practices'. Use when making testing decisions, questioning dogma, or adapting approaches to specific project needs.

Move testing activities earlier in the development lifecycle to catch defects when they're cheapest to fix. Use when implementing TDD, CI/CD, or early quality practices.

Test quality validation through mutation testing, assessing test suite effectiveness by introducing code mutations and measuring kill rate. Use when evaluating test quality, identifying weak tests, or proving tests actually catch bugs.

Apply safe refactoring patterns to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when cleaning up code, reducing technical debt, or improving maintainability.

Regulatory compliance testing for GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS and industry-specific regulations. Use when ensuring legal compliance, preparing for audits, or handling sensitive data.

Orchestrate quality engineering across CI/CD pipeline phases. Use when designing test strategies, planning quality gates, or implementing shift-left/shift-right testing.

Unvarnished technical criticism combining Linus Torvalds' precision, Gordon Ramsay's standards, and James Bach's BS-detection. Use when code/tests need harsh reality checks, certification schemes smell fishy, or technical decisions lack rigor. No sugar-coating, just surgical truth about what's broken and why.

Guide for using Docker - a containerization platform for building, running, and deploying applications in isolated containers. Use when containerizing applications, creating Dockerfiles, working with Docker Compose, managing images/containers, configuring networking and storage, optimizing builds, deploying to production, or implementing CI/CD pipelines with Docker.

Comprehensive guide for building serverless applications with Cloudflare Workers. Use when developing Workers, configuring bindings, implementing runtime APIs, testing Workers, using Wrangler CLI, deploying to production, or building edge functions with JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Rust.

Guide for implementing Turborepo - a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. Use when setting up monorepos, optimizing build performance, implementing task pipelines, configuring caching strategies, or orchestrating tasks across multiple packages.

Kessoku compile-time DI with parallel initialization for Go. Use when writing or debugging kessoku providers/injectors, enabling async dependencies, migrating from google/wire, or fixing go:generate/codegen issues in Go services.

Specialized knowledge of Bash and Zsh scripting, shell automation, command-line tools, and scripting best practices. Use when the user needs to write, debug, or optimize shell scripts or work with command-line tools.

Guide for implementing Google Cloud SDK (gcloud CLI) - a command-line tool for managing Google Cloud resources. Use when installing/configuring gcloud, authenticating with Google Cloud, managing projects/configurations, deploying applications, working with Compute Engine/GKE/App Engine/Cloud Storage, scripting gcloud operations, implementing CI/CD pipelines, or troubleshooting Google Cloud deployments.

Guide for implementing MongoDB - a document database platform with CRUD operations, aggregation pipelines, indexing, replication, sharding, search capabilities, and comprehensive security. Use when working with MongoDB databases, designing schemas, writing queries, optimizing performance, configuring deployments (Atlas/self-managed/Kubernetes), implementing security, or integrating with applications through 15+ official drivers.

Guide for implementing Next.js - a React framework for production with server-side rendering, static generation, and modern web features. Use when building Next.js applications, implementing App Router, working with server components, data fetching, routing, or optimizing performance.
