Software Development Hub

Use this hub for implementation-focused software work: features, refactors, code review, tests, backend changes, frontend changes, and release communication tied to engineering output.

If DEPLOYMENT-PROFILE.md contains software defaults, apply those preferences before falling back to the generic routing in this hub.

When To Use

• Build or modify product functionality
• Improve maintainability or architecture
• Review existing code for bugs, regressions, or missing tests
• Plan or add verification coverage
• Explore an unfamiliar codebase before changing it

Start With

• Repository Exploration for unfamiliar codebases or vague requests
• Feature Implementation for net-new behavior or substantial changes

Skill Routing

• Architecture and System Design for major system changes, design tradeoffs, and long-lived technical direction
• Refactoring for structure improvements without intended behavior changes
• Code Review for finding bugs, regressions, risky assumptions, and missing coverage
• Test Strategy for designing, expanding, or evaluating verification
• API and Backend Work for services, storage, schema, integration, and server-side logic
• Database Migrations and Data Evolution for schema changes, backfills, compatibility windows, and rollout-safe data transitions
• Dependency Lifecycle Management for upgrades, dependency risk reduction, and ecosystem maintenance
• Performance Optimization for latency, throughput, rendering, and resource-efficiency work
• Security Review and Hardening for auth, validation, secrets, exposure, and abuse resistance concerns
• Observability and Operability for logging, metrics, traces, alerts, and operational readiness
• Maintenance and Technical Debt Planning for long-horizon cleanup, risk reduction, and sequencing work
• Frontend UI Implementation for interfaces, interaction logic, and client-side UX execution
• Release and Change Summary for release notes, summaries, migration notes, and rollout communication

Common Combinations

• New feature: repository exploration + feature implementation + test strategy + technical docs
• Backend bug fix: bug triage + debugging workflow + API and backend work + release/change summary
• UI feature: feature implementation + frontend UI implementation + UX review + product copy
• PR review: code review + test strategy
• Platform change: architecture and system design + API/backend work + observability and operability + technical docs
• Risky upgrade: dependency lifecycle management + test strategy + release/change summary
• Data model change: architecture and system design + database migrations and data evolution + API/backend work
