Advisor Auto-Invoke Triggers

Purpose

Detect patterns in user requests that indicate a need for critical thinking analysis. Suggests running /advise when users propose significant changes without first considering trade-offs.

Detection Patterns

Pattern 1: New Dependencies

Triggers:

• "add [package/library/service]"
• "use [technology]"
• "integrate [external service]"
• "switch to [different tool]"

Examples:

• "Let's add Redis for caching"
• "Use TensorFlow for ML"
• "Integrate Stripe for payments"
• "Switch to PostgreSQL"

Why advise? New dependencies increase complexity and maintenance burden.

Pattern 2: Architecture Changes

Triggers:

• "refactor to [pattern]"
• "restructure as [architecture]"
• "migrate to [architecture]"
• "convert to [pattern]"

Examples:

• "Refactor to microservices"
• "Restructure as event-driven"
• "Migrate to serverless"
• "Convert to monorepo"

Why advise? Architectural changes have far-reaching implications.

Pattern 3: Scope Expansions

Triggers:

• "also add [feature]"
• "extend to [capability]"
• "support [new use case]"
• "make it [do more]"

Examples:

• "Also add real-time collaboration"
• "Extend to mobile platforms"
• "Support multi-tenancy"
• "Make it work offline"

Why advise? Scope creep can derail projects.

Pattern 4: Technology Replacements

Triggers:

• "[X] instead of [Y]"
• "replace [X] with [Y]"
• "swap [X] for [Y]"

Examples:

• "GraphQL instead of REST"
• "Replace Express with Fastify"
• "Swap MySQL for MongoDB"

Why advise? Tech replacements have migration costs.

Pattern 5: Scale Changes

Triggers:

• "handle [large number]"
• "scale to [big metric]"
• "support [many users]"

Examples:

• "Handle 1M requests/day"
• "Scale to 100K users"
• "Support 10K concurrent"

Why advise? Premature optimization is common.

Detection Logic

function shouldInvokeAdvisor(userRequest: string): boolean {
  const triggers = [
    // Dependencies
    /add (redis|mongodb|postgres|graphql|webpack|docker)/i,
    /use (tensorflow|pytorch|react|vue|angular)/i,
    /integrate (stripe|auth0|sendgrid|aws)/i,
    /switch to (typescript|rust|go|kubernetes)/i,

    // Architecture
    /refactor to (microservices|serverless|event-driven)/i,
    /restructure as/i,
    /migrate to/i,
    /convert to/i,

    // Scope
    /also add/i,
    /extend to/i,
    /support (mobile|multi-tenant|real-time|offline)/i,

    // Technology replacement
    /instead of/i,
    /replace \w+ with/i,
    /swap \w+ for/i,

    // Scale
    /scale to/i,
    /handle \d+[kmb]/i, // 1k, 1m, 1b
    /support \d+k/i,
  ];

  return triggers.some((pattern) => pattern.test(userRequest));
