ring:analyzing-options
Analyzing different approaches for a task or problem with structured comparisons, effort estimates, and recommendations. Use when facing strategic decisions, architecture choices, or multiple viable approaches. Skip when there's an obvious single approach or the decision is already made.
ring:auditing-production-readiness
Auditing a service's production readiness against Ring engineering standards across base dimensions plus a conditional multi-tenant dimension, then emitting a scored report and an HTML dashboard. Use before production deploy, periodic review, onboarding, or a major release. Skip for prototypes, libraries, or single-dimension checks.
ring:cleaning-comments
Cleaning redundant and obvious comments following clean code principles while preserving meaningful documentation. Supports git scope filtering (staged, unstaged, branch, commit-range). Use when code has excessive comments, during code review, or post-refactor cleanup. Skip when reviewing documentation files or comments are already minimal.
ring:committing-changes
>-
ring:creating-handoffs
Creating a handoff document that captures session state (completed work, decisions, open items, next steps) and delivering it via Plan Mode so the user gets the native 'clear context and continue implementing' resume option. Use when ending a session, when context grows large, or the user says 'handoff', 'save session', or 'context transfer'. Skip when context is minimal or work is fully complete with no resume planned.
ring:creating-worktrees
Creating an isolated git worktree for parallel branch work: selects the directory by priority order, verifies/adds .gitignore safety, auto-installs the detected toolchain's dependencies, runs a baseline test, and reports readiness. Use before a feature that needs isolation from the main workspace or before executing an implementation plan. Skip for a quick fix on the current branch or when already in the feature's worktree.
ring:delegating-to-gandalf
Delegating tasks to Gandalf, a Lerian AI teammate reachable over Tailscale, and returning its response. Use when you need to publish an HTML/markdown report to Alfarrabio and get a URL, post a Slack notification, or ask Gandalf for business/product context via a full agent session. Tailscale-network only, no auth token. Skip when off the Tailscale network or the task can be done locally.
ring:dispatching-workflows
Executing a phased plan in rolling waves where each phase runs as one multi-agent workflow harness: the supervisor elaborates the phase into tasks against the real landed code, launches a workflow that implements with TDD and runs mandatory in-harness review plus an adversarial contrarian pass (and researchers when the phase hits an unknown) before returning verified work, then reviews it, checkpoints with the user, and rolls to the next phase. Use when each wave should be a reviewed multi-agent harness, not a lone subagent. Skip when one supervised subagent per wave suffices (ring:executing-plans) or the full gated cycle is wanted (ring:running-dev-cycle).
ring:engineering-prompts
Expert prompt engineering and optimization for LLMs and AI systems. Covers core patterns (zero-shot, few-shot, CoT, role-playing, constitutional, tree-of-thoughts), common use cases, and a three-phase process. Use when crafting or optimizing prompts for AI systems. Skip when the prompt is trivial or already performing well.
ring:executing-plans
|
ring:exploring-codebases
Exploring a codebase across phases: scopes the target, detects architecture, components, and layers, deep-dives each discovered perspective, then synthesizes findings into actionable guidance with file:line evidence. Use to understand how a feature or system works before planning changes, or to orient on an unfamiliar codebase. Skip for a single signature lookup, a file-exists check, or reading an error from a known file.
ring:fixing-lint
Fixing lint to a clean state: runs the linter, groups reported issues into independent streams, and dispatches one parallel fixer agent per stream (ring:backend-go for Go, ring:general-purpose otherwise), iterating until clean. Use when a codebase has lint errors across multiple files. Skip for a single error (fix directly), already-passing lint, or view-only requests; security lints are reported, not auto-fixed.
ring:generating-pr-descriptions
Generating pull request descriptions from git branch changes with automatic title generation, change-type detection, and smart analysis. Uses branch-only scope to avoid full history analysis. Use when preparing a PR for review. Skip when the PR is a single trivial commit or description already exists.
ring:generating-release-guides
Generating an internal Operations-facing update/migration guide from the git diff between two refs, documenting per-change client impact, deploy ordering, monitoring, and rollback notes in English, pt-br, or both. Use when preparing a version release or recording what changed for the Ops team. Runs read-only by default and previews before writing. Skip with no git repo or a trivial single-file change.
ring:opening-pull-requests
>-
ring:reviewing-code
Reviewing code by dispatching the default reviewer subagents in parallel (plus conditional specialists for lib-observability, lib-systemplane, or lib-streaming when the diff triggers them), then aggregating findings by severity into a report. Use as Gate 8 of ring:running-dev-cycle at epic cadence over the cumulative diff, or before merging. Report-only. Skip for a single-command Go pre-merge verdict (use ring:verifying-code).
ring:searching-code
Forensic code search and analysis with optional Chain of Draft (CoD) ultra-concise mode. Five-phase methodology (clarification, planning, execution, analysis, synthesis) with severity assessment. Use for targeted investigation of specific patterns, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Skip for broad architecture mapping (use ring:exploring-codebases instead).
ring:shipping-changes
>-
ring:test-driven-development
Enforcing the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR loop: write one failing test and watch it fail, write minimal code to pass, then refactor green. Use when starting implementation of a new feature or bugfix, or writing any new production code. Requires pasted failure output as proof of RED; code written before its test must be deleted, not stashed. Skip for exploratory spikes or when only modifying existing tests.
ring:testing-skills-with-subagents
Hardening a skill so it resists rationalization under pressure: run combined-pressure scenarios on a subagent without the skill (RED), capture excuses verbatim, write/edit the skill (GREEN), then plug loopholes (REFACTOR) until compliance holds. Use when deploying or editing a discipline-enforcing skill that an agent could rationalize away. Skip for pure reference skills with no rules to violate.
ring:using-ring
Enforcing Ring's orchestrator protocol every conversation: dispatch specialist/Explore agents instead of operating tools directly, honor the >3-file hard gate, and run skill discovery before any task. Use at conversation start, before any task, when a request matches auto-trigger phrases (fix issues, refactor, find where, visualize), or when tempted to read/edit files directly. Never skip — mandatory.
ring:visualizing
Generating self-contained, Lerian-branded HTML artifacts — D2 diagrams, comparison tables/matrices, code diffs, dashboards, slide decks, and plan/diff/recap reviews — from mandatory templates, then opening them in the browser. Use for architecture overviews, any table with 4+ rows or 3+ columns, slide presentations, or visual diff/plan/review output. Skip for simple tables that fit the terminal or text-only answers.
ring:writing-plans
Writing a rolling-wave phased implementation plan from a spec before coding: a phase-epic-task hierarchy where Phase 1 is detailed into dispatch-ready tasks and later phases stay epic-level for elaboration during execution. Use when a multi-file feature needs decomposition; runs after ring:exploring-codebases or pre-dev gates, hands off to ring:executing-plans or ring:running-dev-cycle. Skip for single-file changes or spikes.
ring:writing-skills
Writing or editing a Ring skill: SKILL.md structure, frontmatter and Agent-Search-Optimization rules, token-efficiency targets, and bulletproofing (Iron Law, rationalization tables, Red Flags) so discipline-enforcing skills resist excuses. Use when creating or revising a skill. Delegates pressure-testing to ring:testing-skills-with-subagents. Skip for pure reference skills with no rules, or project conventions (put those in CLAUDE.md).
ring:adding-multi-tenancy
Adding database-per-tenant isolation into a Go service end-to-end via an 11-gate cycle: detects the stack, audits compliance, then dispatches backend agents to implement tenantId-from-JWT routing through the lib-commons v5 dispatch layer (config, middleware, repositories, metrics, tests) and runs reviewers. Use when adding tenant isolation to a Go service. Skip for non-Go services or organization_id-style soft tenancy.
ring:adopting-lib-commons-huma-wrapper
Adopting the lib-commons/v5 shared Huma (OAS 3.1) OpenAPI wrapper + RFC 9457 problem model (commons/net/http/{openapi,problem}) in a Lerian Go service: wire openapi.New/ServeSpec + problem.Install (central >=500 scrub) on BOTH runtime and spec-gen paths, the per-rail problem.MapError flex seam, and rename-only spec regen. Orchestrates a gated cycle dispatching ring:backend-go. Use for greenfield Huma or migrating a service off a local openapi/humaerr wrapper. Skip for non-Go or non-HTTP work.
ring:applying-composition-patterns
React composition patterns that scale. Avoid boolean prop proliferation by using compound components, lifting state, and composing internals. Use when refactoring components with boolean prop proliferation, building flexible component libraries, or during architecture review. Skip for simple components with 1-2 props or non-React code.
ring:applying-licenses
Applying or switching a repository's license (Apache 2.0, Elastic License v2, or Lerian Proprietary): rewrites the LICENSE file, updates Go/TS source headers, sets SPDX identifiers, and validates consistency after user confirmation. Use when asked to set, apply, or switch a license, or when scaffolding a service with no LICENSE. Skip when license, headers, and SPDX already match, or for non-code repos.
ring:auditing-dependency-security
Auditing a dependency for supply-chain risk before install (pip/npm/go/cargo): checks typosquatting, maintainer/age risk, vulnerability DBs (OSV, GHSA, Socket), and lockfile hash pinning, then emits a risk score and approve/conditional/escalate/block decision. Use when adding or updating a dependency, reviewing a dependency PR, or investigating a compromise. Skip when no new dependency is involved or it is already vetted.
ring:checking-frontend-quality
Checking frontend quality against changed UI via ring:qa-frontend in accessibility, visual, e2e, or performance mode and aggregating pass/fail verdicts. Use when a frontend change needs standalone a11y, visual-snapshot, Playwright e2e, or Lighthouse/Core-Web-Vitals validation outside the dev cycle. Skip for backend-only or non-UI work, or inside ring:running-dev-cycle-frontend, which already runs these in Gate 0.
ring:creating-helm-charts
Creating Helm charts to Lerian conventions via ring:helm: standardized chart structure, full env-var coverage from .env.example, security defaults (runAsNonRoot, readOnlyRootFilesystem), ClusterIP-only services, and health probes; validates helm lint and template render. Use when creating, modifying, or reviewing a chart, or migrating docker-compose to Helm. Skip for app-code-only changes or docker-compose-only deployments.
ring:detecting-goroutine-leaks
Detecting goroutine leaks in Go: greps for goroutine patterns, audits goleak coverage (VerifyTestMain/VerifyNone), runs goleak, and dispatches ring:backend-go to fix leaks and add regression tests. Use after implementation or during review when code spawns goroutines or a leak is suspected. Runs before ring:reviewing-code. Skip for non-Go or code with no goroutines. Skip for panic/silent-death observability (use ring:using-runtime).
ring:generating-llms-txt
Generating or auditing a repository's llms.txt per the llmstxt.org spec, and creating CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md when missing, by analyzing README, build files, docs, and API surface. Use when creating an llms.txt, auditing an existing one for spec compliance and live links, or improving a repo's AI readability. Skip when the llms.txt is current, the task is code-only with no doc scope, or the repo needs no LLM discoverability.
ring:hardening-dockerfiles
Hardening Dockerfiles to reach Docker Hub Health Score grade A: enforcing a non-root USER, minimal/distroless multi-stage base images, no fixable critical/high CVEs, no AGPL-3.0 deps, and SBOM+provenance attestations. Use when creating a new Dockerfile, auditing one for security, or preparing images for Docker Hub publication. Skip when the project has no Dockerfile, changes are app-code-only, or you consume pre-built images.
ring:implementing-readyz
Implementing the canonical /readyz readiness-probe contract across Go, TypeScript, and Next.js via a 12-gate cycle: detects stack, audits compliance, then dispatches agents to build the dependency probe, url.Parse TLS detection, ValidateSaaSTLS enforcement, metrics, startup self-probe, and graceful drain, then runs reviewers. Use when a service lacks or has incomplete /readyz. Skip for libraries, CLI tools, or batch jobs.
ring:implementing-tasks
Implementing a single planned task (Task N.M.T) end-to-end: selects the right backend agent by language and service type, drives one TDD RED->GREEN turn, then verifies coverage, lint, license headers, runtime, and delivery before handoff. Runs as Gate 0 before ring:reviewing-code. Use to drive ONE task inside an already-running cycle. Skip when asked to implement a whole plan.md or multiple tasks (use ring:running-dev-cycle).
ring:instrumenting-streaming-events
Instrumenting streaming events: wires lib-streaming event emission end-to-end into a Lerian Go service via a 13-gate cycle (catalog, Builder bootstrap, Emit sites, outbox, HTTP manifest, NoopEmitter fallback, integration and chaos tests), dispatching ring:backend-go under TDD. Consumes the validated instrumentation-map.json from ring:mapping-streaming-events. Use after that map exists. Skip for non-Go or when no map is present.
ring:load-testing-with-k6
Load-testing with k6 for the LerianStudio/k6 Palantir platform: scaffolds product.yaml, smoke/load/stress/soak scenarios, a helper client, builds the webpack bundle, and verifies a local k6 run. Use when new API/gRPC endpoints or throughput-path changes need SLO validation under load, or a Palantir CI load gate is required. Skip when no network-facing endpoints are affected or changes are config-only or non-code.
ring:managing-dev-cycle
Managing an in-progress development cycle without driving it: status reports phase, epic/gate progress, assertiveness, and elapsed time from current-cycle.json; cancel confirms, marks the cycle cancelled, and writes a partial feedback report. Use when checking the status of, or cancelling, a running dev cycle. Skip when no cycle is active or the question is general project status, not cycle-specific.
ring:mapping-service-resources
Mapping a Go service's Service -> Module -> Resource hierarchy for dispatch-layer registration: detects modules and per-module PostgreSQL/MongoDB/RabbitMQ resources, database names, and shared databases, generates MongoDB index migration pairs (.up.json/.down.json), detects existing Postgres migrations, emits an HTML report, and offers opt-in S3 upload. Use before ring:adding-multi-tenancy on a new service. Skip for non-Go projects.
ring:migrating-to-lib-observability
Migrating a Lerian Go app off lib-commons observability imports (deprecated shims or removed APIs) to lib-observability via a fixed mapping table, then bumps go.mod and validates the build; ring:backend-go applies the edits. Covers log/zap/runtime/assert, opentelemetry/tracing, HTTP middleware, context helpers, and direct systemplane import moves. Use when lib-commons observability imports remain or the build breaks on removed APIs.
ring:migrating-to-lib-systemplane
Migrating Lerian Go services from .env/YAML operational knobs (log levels, feature flags, rate limits, timeouts) to the lib-systemplane hot-reloadable runtime config client, wiring the migration-only make systemplane-ddl pipeline (runtime DDL forbidden in v1.6.0+). Orchestrates an 11-gate cycle dispatching ring:backend-go. Use when adding hot-reloadable config or migrating off v4 systemplane. Skip for non-Go or static-only config.
ring:planning-backend-refactor
Planning a backend refactor: audits an existing Go or TypeScript backend against Ring/Lerian standards and produces a prioritized task list (findings.md + tasks.md) ready for ring:running-dev-cycle. Plans only — no edits. Use when an existing backend service needs to meet standards or an audit is requested. Skip for greenfield projects, single-file fixes, or frontend (use ring:planning-frontend-refactor).
ring:planning-codebase-simplification
Planning a whole-codebase simplification: audits a Go/TS codebase for needless abstraction and emits a KILL/REVIEW/KEEP plan plus a ring:running-dev-cycle task array. Plans only — no edits. Detects single-impl interfaces, pass-through shims, translation-free adapters, and dead-code cascade chains under an inverted burden of proof. Use for pre-public or post-pivot cleanup. Skip for current diff review (use ring:reviewing-code).
ring:planning-frontend-refactor
Planning a frontend refactor: audits an existing React/Next.js frontend against Ring standards (architecture, Sindarian UI, accessibility, testing) and produces a prioritized task list (findings.md + tasks.md) for ring:running-dev-cycle-frontend. Plans only — no edits. Use when an existing frontend needs to meet standards or an audit is requested. Skip for greenfield, single-file fixes, or backend (use ring:planning-backend-refactor).
ring:running-dev-cycle-frontend
Running the frontend (React/Next.js/TS) dev cycle from a plan.md (ring:writing-plans format; legacy tasks.md only for in-flight cycles) or backend handoff: drives frontend agents through Gate 0 TDD plus accessibility/visual/E2E/perf checks, Gate 7 parallel review, and Gate 8 user validation, with rolling-wave phase boundaries. Use when starting or resuming a gated frontend dev cycle. Skip for backend (use ring:running-dev-cycle) or docs-only work.
ring:running-dev-cycle
Running the backend dev cycle: implements every task in a rolling-wave plan.md (ring:writing-plans format) for a Go/TS service, driving specialist agents through Gate 0 implementation/TDD, Gate 8 parallel review, and Gate 9 validation per epic, elaborating later phases at each phase boundary. Use when starting or resuming a gated backend dev cycle with a plan.md (legacy tasks.md only for cycles already in flight; new cycles need the canonical plan format). Skip for frontend (use ring:running-dev-cycle-frontend) or docs-only work.
ring:using-assert
Using lib-observability/assert, Lerian's runtime assertion package, in two modes. Sweep Mode detects panic()/log.Fatal zero-panic violations, DIY invariant checks, hand-rolled domain predicates, and missing InitAssertionMetrics. Reference Mode catalogs the asserter lifecycle, domain predicates, observability trident, AssertionError unwrapping, and the panic-vs-assert-vs-error decision tree. Go-only. Skip for non-Go or frontend code.
ring:using-dev-team
Selecting and dispatching the right Ring developer specialist agent (backend Go/TS, frontend, UI designer/engineer, Helm, frontend QA, prompt reviewer) for a technology task.
