Cloud & DevOps Workflows

Azure PaaS and IaaS architecture specialist. TRIGGER when: user needs Azure architecture design, App Service, Functions, APIM, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, networking, identity, Azure-native patterns, or invokes /azure-architect. Designs Azure solutions validated against the Azure Well-Architected Framework (5 pillars). Fetches latest documentation from Microsoft Learn MCP. Produces C4 diagrams, integration patterns, and security architecture. DO NOT TRIGGER for Power Platform only (use powerplatform-architect), D365 only (use d365-architect), or containers only (use container-architect).

Azure DevOps SAFe Backlog Exporter: transforms platform-neutral backlog into ADO-ready Excel workbook for CSV import. TRIGGER when: user asks to export backlog to Azure DevOps, create ADO work items, generate ADO import workbook, create SAFe backlog workbook, or invokes /backlog-ado. Also triggers for: "import to Azure DevOps", "ADO CSV import", "SAFe backlog Excel", "ADO work items from backlog". Maps 7 work item types (Epic, Feature, User Story, Technical User Story, Risk, Impediment, CI Item) to Azure DevOps SAFe field schema and generates import-ready Excel workbook. DO NOT TRIGGER for backlog decomposition (use backlog-decompose). DO NOT TRIGGER for Linear export (use backlog-linear) or GitHub export (use backlog-github).

CI/CD architecture specialist. TRIGGER when: user needs GitHub Actions workflow design, Azure DevOps Pipelines (YAML), GitOps for AKS or Container Apps, ring deployments, blue-green deployment, dependabot configuration, Conventional Commits enforcement, Terraform plan-in-PR workflow, environment promotion gates, secret rotation in pipelines, or invokes /cicd-architect. Codifies opinions: GitHub Actions for OSS-friendly orgs; Azure DevOps for enterprise with strict gates. GitOps for AKS/Container Apps (Flux or ArgoCD). Ring deployments (canary -> 1% -> 10% -> 50% -> 100%) for production releases. Blue-green for stateful workloads where ring isn't viable. Dependabot grouped by package ecosystem; auto-merge minor/patch with passing tests. Conventional Commits enforced via commitlint in PR. Terraform plan in PR comment via tfcmt or atlantis; apply only post-merge. Reads from standards/references/tooling/repo-baseline.md. DO NOT TRIGGER for Azure service selection (use azure-architect), infrastructure provisioning (use iac-architect), or identity configuration (use identity-architect).

Product Constitution: the living document that defines product principles, value propositions, positioning, customer experience philosophy, building approach, prioritization framework, and research bets. TRIGGER when: user asks about product principles, product philosophy, product constitution, "what do we stand for", product values, product positioning, prioritization framework, product strategy, product bets, "how do we decide what to build", or invokes /philosophy. Also triggers for "define our product principles", "update our positioning", "review our priorities", "what's our product philosophy". Supports three modes: Create (new constitution), Co-author (evolve sections), and Review (quarterly assessment). DO NOT TRIGGER for business discovery (use discover). DO NOT TRIGGER for PRD generation (use prd-draft). DO NOT TRIGGER for technical architecture (use tom-architect).

PRD Structural Validator. Reads a PRD and checks it against the required structure checklist. Outputs a pass/fail validation report without modifying the PRD. TRIGGER when: user asks to validate a PRD, check PRD structure, verify PRD completeness, run PRD checklist, or invokes /prd-validate. Also triggers for "is this PRD complete", "check my PRD", "validate requirements structure", or when prd-draft suggests validation after drafting. DO NOT TRIGGER for PRD creation or drafting (use prd-draft). DO NOT TRIGGER for PRD quality review or scoring (use prd-review). DO NOT TRIGGER for epic decomposition (use epic-decompose).

Interactive prompt engineering skill that guides users through structured dialogue to build comprehensive, optimized prompts with intelligent technique selection, automatic hardening patterns, and voice calibration. Use when a user wants to craft a high-quality prompt, says "build me a prompt", "help me write a prompt", "prompt forge", "craft a prompt", "forge a prompt", needs help articulating what they want an AI to do, or wants to generate a detailed brief for any task — research, coding, document creation, analysis, or artifact generation. Automatically integrates the humanize skill and voice profile selection when the output involves Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Markdown artifacts.

Target Operating Model (TOM) Architect for enterprise transformation across any platform. TRIGGER when: user asks to design a Target Operating Model, TOM, operating model, business transformation, process decomposition, capability map, maturity assessment, organizational design, service delivery model, or invokes /tom-architect. Also triggers for process taxonomy, L1 to L4 processes, capability register, maturity model, role mapping, KPI framework, AI augmentation overlay, or when the problem requires decomposing business operations into structured layers. Covers Finance, HR, Procurement, Supply Chain, Cyber, and Sustainability domains. Maps TOM capabilities to Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow platforms. Produces Mermaid diagrams, PPTX decks, and XLSX workbooks. DO NOT TRIGGER for pure technology architecture without business operating model context. DO NOT TRIGGER for code-level specs.
