Use before any DevOps build, change, or new feature — refine requirements through dialogue before touching infrastructure or code
Use when working with Docker — building images, writing Dockerfiles, debugging container issues
Use to execute a written implementation plan via subagents with review checkpoints
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
Use when working with Kubernetes or Helm — authoring, reviewing, hardening, or debugging manifests, Deployments, Services, Ingress, RBAC, NetworkPolicy, or cluster operations
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
