Camel Design Reference

This skill is NOT user-invocable. It is loaded by camel-brainstorm during the design phase.

Purpose

Provides the domain knowledge guides needed to design Apache Camel integration flows. These guides are loaded selectively based on the flow requirements discovered during brainstorming.

Guide Manifest

Guide	When to Load	Purpose
guides/component-selection.md	Always during flow design	Component selection criteria and MCP verification process
guides/catalog-lookups.md	Always during flow design	How to query the MCP catalog effectively
guides/eip-catalog.md	When EIPs needed (routing, splitting, aggregation)	Enterprise Integration Pattern selection and configuration
guides/data-formats.md	When data transformation needed	Data format selection (JSON, XML, CSV, etc.)
guides/integration-patterns.md	Always during flow design	Common integration patterns and composition strategies
guides/datamapper-interview.md	When XSLT/DataMapper transformation needed	Socratic interview for DataMapper field mapping
guides/resilience-interview.md	When error handling/resilience needed	Interview for retry, circuit breaker, dead letter channel design
guides/performance.md	When performance requirements specified	Throttling, concurrency, batch processing design
guides/security.md	When security requirements specified	TLS, auth, credential management design
guides/monitoring.md	When monitoring/observability required	Metrics, health checks, tracing design
guides/tdd-assembly.md	Always (final step of design)	Assembles design decisions into the active design spec format

Iron Laws

All guides in this skill enforce:

• Iron Law 1: MCP Catalog Verification — every component/EIP/dataformat recommendation is MCP-verified
