// Create beautiful ASCII art visualizations for plans, architectures, workflows, and data
Build AI-first applications with RAG pipelines, embeddings, vector databases, agentic workflows, and LLM integration. Master prompt engineering, function calling, streaming responses, and cost optimization for 2025+ AI development. Includes local LLM inference with Ollama for 93% CI cost reduction.
Use this skill when designing REST, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs. Provides comprehensive API design patterns, versioning strategies, error handling conventions, authentication approaches, and OpenAPI/AsyncAPI templates. Ensures consistent, well-documented, and developer-friendly APIs across all backend services.
Use this skill when documenting significant architectural decisions. Provides ADR templates following the Nygard format with sections for context, decision, consequences, and alternatives. Helps teams maintain architectural memory and rationale for backend systems, API designs, database choices, and infrastructure decisions.
Use when creating or developing anything, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation
Capture content from JavaScript-rendered pages, login-protected sites, and multi-page documentation using Playwright MCP tools or Claude Chrome extension. Use when WebFetch fails on SPAs, dynamic content, or auth-required pages.
Use this skill when designing database schemas for relational (SQL) or document (NoSQL) databases. Provides normalization guidelines, indexing strategies, migration patterns, and performance optimization techniques. Ensures scalable, maintainable, and performant data models.
