Plans and generates migration strategies for framework upgrades, language versions, database changes, and architecture shifts. Produces step-by-step migration guides with rollback plans, risk assessment, and automated codemods where possible.
Designs normalized database schemas from business requirements. Covers entity relationships, indexing strategies, migration planning, and performance considerations. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and other databases with dialect-specific optimizations.
Designs RESTful and GraphQL APIs following contract-first principles. Covers endpoint structure, request/response schemas, error handling, versioning, pagination, authentication, and rate limiting. Produces OpenAPI/Swagger specifications and implementation scaffolding.
Translates code between programming languages while preserving logic, idioms, and best practices of the target language. Handles differences in type systems, error handling, concurrency models, and standard library APIs. Produces idiomatic target code, not line-by-line transliteration.
Guides systematic code refactoring while preserving exact behavior. Identifies code smells, suggests appropriate refactoring patterns, and executes transformations incrementally with verification at each step. Follows Chesterton's Fence principle — understands why code exists before changing it.
Designs, optimizes, and iterates on prompts for LLM applications. Covers system prompt design, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought reasoning, output formatting, and prompt testing strategies. Helps build reliable AI-powered features.
Performs comprehensive security analysis of code and configurations. Identifies OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, insecure patterns, missing input validation, authentication flaws, and secrets exposure. Provides remediation steps with secure code examples.
Identifies and resolves performance bottlenecks in code and systems. Covers algorithmic complexity analysis, memory optimization, caching strategies, database query tuning, and frontend performance (Core Web Vitals). Follows a measure-first approach.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
