Skills

Writes idempotent Ansible playbooks and roles from a described target state. Structures tasks with proper handlers, variables, and templates; favors modules over shell commands; applies role-based layout and inventory grouping; and adds check-mode safety and tags. Produces playbooks that are re-runnable without unintended side effects.

Helps process a busy inbox quickly. Categorizes messages by urgency and type, extracts action items and deadlines, drafts short reply options, and proposes an order to handle them. Summarizes long threads into the decision needed and flags anything sensitive or requiring escalation, so you can clear the inbox with fewer decisions.

Turns a messy list of tasks into a ranked, actionable plan. Applies a chosen framework (Eisenhower urgent/important, RICE, MoSCoW, or value/effort) consistently, surfaces dependencies and quick wins, groups work into a realistic today/this-week plan, and explains the ranking so the user can adjust the weighting.

Drafts long-form blog posts from a topic, outline, or set of notes. Handles title and hook generation, logical section structure, SEO-aware headings, tone matching, internal linking suggestions, and a clear call to action. Produces publish-ready Markdown with meta description and suggested tags.

Builds disaster recovery and business continuity plans for systems and data. Defines RTO and RPO targets, maps critical dependencies, chooses backup and replication strategies, documents failover and restore procedures, and designs a testing cadence with game days. Produces a plan that balances resilience against cost and operational complexity.

Produces operational runbooks for services and common incidents. Documents prerequisites, step-by-step diagnosis and remediation, exact commands, verification checks, rollback steps, and escalation paths. Structures each runbook so an on-call engineer can follow it under pressure, and keeps destructive steps clearly flagged with safeguards.

Builds discovery and usability interview guides that surface real insight. Translates research questions into open, non-leading prompts, sequences warm-up to deep-dive topics, adds follow-up probes, and applies techniques like the "five whys" and past-behavior questions. Outputs a timed guide with a consent intro and a synthesis template for notes.

Reviews and rewrites resumes and CVs to be clear, achievement-focused, and ATS-friendly. Rewrites bullet points using strong action verbs and quantified impact, aligns wording to a target job description, flags gaps and red flags, and checks formatting for applicant tracking system compatibility.

Sets up and maintains Git hooks for a repository. Recommends a manager (Husky, Lefthook, or pre-commit), wires up pre-commit and commit-msg hooks for linting, formatting, type checks, secret scanning, and conventional-commit validation, and keeps hooks fast with staged-file filtering. Produces config plus a short contributor guide.

Produces structured test plans for features and releases. Defines scope and objectives, derives test cases from requirements and acceptance criteria, covers functional, edge, negative, performance, and accessibility cases, sets entry/exit criteria, and maps risk to test priority. Outputs a clear plan with a traceability matrix linking tests to requirements.

Creates accessible color palettes for brands and UIs from a brief or a seed color. Produces primary, secondary, and neutral scales with hex values, suggests semantic tokens (success, warning, error, info), and checks foreground/background pairings against WCAG contrast ratios. Outputs ready-to-use CSS variables or design tokens.

Writes conversion-focused ad copy for search, social, and display. Crafts headlines and descriptions within platform character limits, leads with a clear benefit and hook, matches message to audience and funnel stage, and produces multiple variants for A/B testing. Keeps claims honest and includes a strong, specific call to action.

Explains what a SQL query does in plain language and how it executes. Breaks down joins, subqueries, CTEs, and window functions step by step, describes the result set, reads EXPLAIN/EXPLAIN ANALYZE output to identify slow scans and missing indexes, and flags correctness pitfalls. Helps developers understand, review, and trust unfamiliar SQL.

Designs surveys that produce reliable, unbiased data. Turns research goals into clear questions, chooses appropriate scales and response types, avoids leading and double-barreled wording, orders questions to reduce bias, and plans screening and branching logic. Outputs a ready-to-field questionnaire with an analysis plan for each question.

Builds structured competitive analyses from public information. Maps competitors across positioning, pricing, features, target segments, and go-to-market motion; produces feature-comparison matrices and SWOT summaries; and highlights differentiation gaps and opportunities. Emphasizes citing sources and separating verified facts from inference.

Inspects messy tabular data and produces a repeatable cleaning plan plus code. Detects and fixes common issues: inconsistent types, duplicate rows, missing values, malformed dates, mixed encodings, whitespace and casing problems, and outliers. Outputs pandas or Polars code, a summary of changes, and a validation checklist.

Generates platform-tailored social media posts from a single idea or announcement. Adapts length, tone, hashtags, and formatting for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and threads. Produces hook-first copy, variant options for A/B testing, and a suggested posting cadence while respecting each platform's conventions and character limits.

Produces production-ready nginx configuration for common scenarios: reverse proxy, load balancing, TLS termination, static file serving, HTTP/2, gzip/brotli, caching, rate limiting, and security headers. Explains each directive, warns about risky defaults, and includes a validation step so the config can be tested before reload.

Designs caching strategies across the stack to cut latency and load. Chooses cache layers (browser, CDN, application, database), picks patterns (cache-aside, read-through, write-through, write-behind), sets TTLs and eviction policies, and plans invalidation to avoid staleness and stampedes. Produces a layered plan with keys, TTLs, and invalidation rules.

Drafts email newsletters that get opened and read. Writes subject lines and preview text, structures the issue with a clear lead, scannable sections, and a single primary call to action, and adapts tone to the audience. Can turn a list of updates or links into a cohesive issue and suggest send-time and segmentation tips.

Decodes and reviews JSON Web Tokens and their surrounding auth flow for correctness and security. Explains header and claims, checks algorithm and key handling, validates expiration and audience/issuer claims, and flags common pitfalls such as the alg:none attack, weak secrets, missing validation, and over-long token lifetimes. Never treats token contents as trusted secrets to echo back.
