Skills

Turns incident timelines, alerts, and chat logs into a clear, blameless postmortem. Produces an executive summary, impact assessment, detailed timeline, root-cause analysis using techniques like the five whys, and a prioritized list of follow-up action items with owners, in a format ready to share with stakeholders.

Generates and refactors Helm charts to package Kubernetes applications. Produces templated manifests, values.yaml with sensible defaults, helpers, chart dependencies, and hooks, and parameterizes images, resources, probes, and ingress so a workload can be deployed consistently across environments.

Reviews and rewrites Dockerfiles for smaller images, faster builds, and better security. Applies multi-stage builds, optimal layer ordering and caching, minimal base images, non-root users, and .dockerignore tuning, and flags vulnerabilities and bloat while keeping the build reproducible.

Designs feature-flagging and progressive-delivery strategies and generates the integration code. Covers flag naming and lifecycle, targeting and segmentation rules, percentage rollouts, kill switches, and cleanup of stale flags across providers like LaunchDarkly, Unleash, Flagsmith, or a homegrown config service.

Parses and analyzes application, system, and access logs to surface errors, anomalies, and root causes. Correlates events across services, identifies recurring patterns and spikes, extracts structured fields from unstructured lines, and produces a prioritized summary with likely causes and recommended next steps.

Generates production-ready Kubernetes manifests — Deployments, Services, Ingresses, ConfigMaps, Secrets, HPAs, and more — from a plain-language description of the workload. Applies best practices for resource limits, health probes, security contexts, and rolling update strategies, with optional Kustomize overlays or Helm chart scaffolding.

Generates and assists with incident response procedures for production systems. Helps with root cause analysis, creates runbooks for common failure modes, builds communication templates for stakeholders, and produces post-incident review documents. Supports SRE and on-call workflows.

Generates Docker Compose configurations from application requirements. Handles service dependencies, networking, volumes, health checks, environment variables, and multi-stage builds. Supports development and production profiles.

Designs and implements CI/CD pipelines for various platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI). Covers build, test, lint, security scan, deploy stages with proper caching, parallelization, and environment management.
