Hardening a skill so it resists rationalization under pressure: run combined-pressure scenarios on a subagent without the skill (RED), capture excuses verbatim, write/edit the skill (GREEN), then plug loopholes (REFACTOR) until compliance holds. Use when deploying or editing a discipline-enforcing skill that an agent…
Enforcing Ring's orchestrator protocol every conversation: dispatch specialist/Explore agents instead of operating tools directly, honor the >3-file hard gate, and run skill discovery before any task. Use at conversation start, before any task, when a request matches auto-trigger phrases (fix issues, refactor, find…
Generating self-contained, Lerian-branded HTML artifacts — D2 diagrams, comparison tables/matrices, code diffs, dashboards, slide decks, and plan/diff/recap reviews — from mandatory templates, then opening them in the browser. Use for architecture overviews, any table with 4+ rows or 3+ columns, slide presentations…
Writing a rolling-wave phased implementation plan from a spec before coding: a phase-epic-task hierarchy where Phase 1 is detailed into dispatch-ready tasks and later phases stay epic-level for elaboration during execution. Use when a multi-file feature needs decomposition; runs after ring:exploring-codebases or…
Writing or editing a Ring skill: SKILL.md structure, frontmatter and Agent-Search-Optimization rules, token-efficiency targets, and bulletproofing (Iron Law, rationalization tables, Red Flags) so discipline-enforcing skills resist excuses. Use when creating or revising a skill. Delegates pressure-testing to…
Senior Backend Engineer specialized in Go for high-demand financial systems. Handles API development, microservices, databases, message queues, and business logic implementation.
Senior Backend Engineer specialized in TypeScript/Node.js for scalable systems. Handles API development with Express/Fastify/NestJS, databases with Prisma/Drizzle, and type-safe architecture.
Senior BFF (Backend for Frontend) Engineer specialized in Next.js API Routes with Clean Architecture, DDD, and Hexagonal patterns. Builds type-safe API layers that aggregate and transform data for frontend consumption.
Foundation Review: Reviews code quality, architecture, design patterns, algorithmic flow, and maintainability. Runs in parallel with other reviewers at Gate 8.
Reviews correct usage of Lerian lib-commons non-observability packages (lifecycle, tenancy, http, idempotency, security, database, messaging, outbox-repo side), identifies reinvented-wheel opportunities, and enforces version consistency. Runs in parallel with other reviewers.
Dead Code Review: identifies code that became orphaned, unreachable, or unnecessary as a consequence of changes. Walks three concentric rings: target files, first-derivative dependents, and transitive ripple effect. Runs in parallel with other reviewers at Gate 8.
Senior Frontend Engineer specialized in React/Next.js for financial dashboards and enterprise applications. Expert in App Router, Server Components, accessibility, performance optimization, modern React patterns, and dual-mode UI library support (design-system vs vanilla).
Specialist Helm Chart Engineer by Lerian Studio. Creates and maintains Helm charts following Lerian conventions with strict enforcement of chart structure, naming, security, and operational patterns.
Correctness Review: reviews domain correctness, business rules, edge cases, and requirements. Uses mental execution to trace code paths. Runs in parallel with other reviewers at Gate 8.
Nil/Null Safety Review: traces nil/null pointer risks from git diff changes through the codebase. Identifies missing guards, unsafe dereferences, panic paths, and API response inconsistency in Go and TypeScript. Runs in parallel with other reviewers at Gate 8.
Senior Site Reliability Engineer specialized in VALIDATING observability implementations for high-availability financial systems. Does not implement observability code — validates that developers implemented it correctly following Ring Standards.
