Safety rules for modifying Dockerfiles and Containerfiles. Use when editing container build files.

MR/PR context gathering and diagnostic reporting guidelines. Activates when working on events that reference MRs/PRs or when reporting investigation findings.

Team coordination for implement and test modes. Developer and QE use team_send_results for final reports, team_huddle for mid-task questions to FRIDAY.

GitOps workflow rules for modifying infrastructure via git. Use when cloning repos, modifying Helm values, committing, pushing, or verifying deployments.

MR/PR lifecycle operations -- pipeline check, retest, merge, conflict reporting. Extends darwin-gitlab-ops.

Report findings and status updates to the Darwin FRIDAY. Use team_send_results for final reports (task modes). In message mode, use team_send_message instead.

Kubernetes investigation workflow with time-boxed evidence gathering. Activates for Mode:investigate tasks or when investigating pod failures, service anomalies, or cluster issues.

Workspace scanning and structured analysis brief generation for unfamiliar repositories

Security vulnerability scanning and audit workflow. Detects ecosystem, runs scans, produces structured findings report.

Queue-state and pipeline condition interpretation for remote build clusters

Pipeline failure investigation -- enumerate ALL failed jobs/tasks, follow external CI links, classify errors. Extends darwin-gitlab-ops.

Pipeline trigger commands for Pipelines-as-Code (PaC) and vanilla GitLab CI. Single source of truth for /retest, /test, /ok-to-test, and /cancel.

Tool inventory for read-only observation modes. Loaded in investigate, plan, review, and analyze modes.

GitLab environment context: project resolution, authentication, and API conventions for GitLab instances.

Code and MR/PR review workflow for plan mode. Use when reviewing merge requests, pull requests, or code changes.

GitOps rollback workflow for crisis recovery. Activates for Mode:rollback tasks or when reverting a deployment via git revert.

Container image reference format and pinning conventions. Activates when updating FROM lines, image tags, or base image references in Dockerfiles, build-args, or PipelineRun params.

MR/PR comment thread interaction -- read threads, respond concisely. Extends darwin-gitlab-ops.

MR/PR review triage -- read changes, summarize for human, ask approver what to do. Darwin does NOT auto-approve. Extends darwin-gitlab-ops.

Pair programming rules for Developer + QE working on the same feature branch. Auto-loaded for implement and test modes.

Structured plan template for the Architect agent. Use when creating infrastructure or code change plans.

Discover and load project-specific AI context from cloned repositories. Activates when cloning or pulling a repository to check for .gemini, .claude, or .cursor configuration directories.

QE test strategy and execution workflow. Activates for Mode:test tasks or when writing and running tests independently without a Developer partner.

Tool inventory for action modes. Loaded in execute and rollback modes.

Tool inventory for code implementation mode. Loaded in implement mode.

Discovery-based branch naming for Darwin agents (repo-agnostic)

PR creation template for consistent, well-structured pull requests. Use when opening a PR.

Tool inventory for QE test mode. Loaded in test mode.

UI/UX design patterns for frontend plans. Use when designing user-facing features, tabs, modals, or interaction flows.

Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters) patterns for code review and planning. Use when reviewing code structure, planning new features, or evaluating coupling.

Microservice technical patterns for infrastructure and API design. Use when planning service changes, reviewing API contracts, or evaluating deployment strategies.
