Parse PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX documents in a microservices context. Use when building the Media Processor service (Phase 9) for document text extraction. Covers BytesIO streaming, standardized JSON output, async wrappers for CPU-bound operations. NOT for desktop automation, file editing, or document creation.
Design multi-agent architectures for complex tasks. Use when single-agent context limits are exceeded, when tasks decompose naturally into subtasks, or when specializing agents improves quality. Includes OpenAI Agents SDK patterns (handoffs, as_tool) required for OmniChat Phase 5. Covers Triage routing, context passing, and streaming specialist patterns.
Generate Redis pub/sub event publisher and subscriber patterns. Use when: (1) Broadcasting events between services, (2) Implementing event-driven patterns, (3) Real-time notifications, (4) Decoupling service communication. Builds on redis-pattern skill with domain-specific event types and handlers. NOT for task queues (use redis-pattern task-queue instead).
Builds AI agents using OpenAI Agents SDK with async/await patterns and multi-agent orchestration. Use when creating tutoring agents, building agent handoffs, implementing tool-calling agents, or orchestrating multiple specialists. Covers Agent class, Runner patterns, function tools, guardrails, and streaming responses. Includes OmniChat distributed patterns: LLM Gateway routing, Persistence bridge, Event Publisher integration, and remote tool stubs. NOT when using raw OpenAI API without SDK or other agent frameworks like LangChain.
Implement backend SSE (Server-Sent Events) infrastructure for real-time AI response streaming. Use when building the Stream Broker service, Redis Pub/Sub listeners, or SSE endpoints. Covers sse-starlette integration, connection management, heartbeats, and event routing. NOT for frontend consumption patterns - this is backend infrastructure only.
Build production RAG systems with semantic chunking, incremental indexing, and filtered retrieval. Use when implementing document ingestion pipelines, vector search with Qdrant, or context-aware retrieval. Covers chunking strategies, change detection, payload indexing, and context expansion. NOT when doing simple similarity search without production requirements.
Production-grade Docker containerization for Python and Node.js applications. This skill should be used when users ask to containerize applications, create Dockerfiles, dockerize projects, or set up Docker Compose. Auto-detects project structure, analyzes .env for secrets, validates security, and generates tested Dockerfiles.
Build production-grade FastAPI backends with SQLModel and JWT authentication. Use when building REST APIs with Neon PostgreSQL, implementing layered architecture (Controller-Service-Repository), or creating CRUD endpoints with JWT/JWKS verification. NOT when building simple scripts or non-microservice architectures.
