Software Developer Orchestrator Skill

Entry point: /faion-net — invoke this skill for automatic routing to the appropriate domain.

Software Developer Orchestrator

Coordinates 7 specialized sub-skills for comprehensive software development.

Purpose

Routes development tasks to appropriate specialized sub-skills based on technology, domain, and task type.

Context Discovery

Auto-Investigation

Detect tech stack from project files BEFORE asking questions:

| Signal | How to Check | Detected Stack | |--------|--------------|----------------| | manage.py | Glob("**/manage.py") | Django → faion-python-developer | | pyproject.toml with fastapi | Grep("fastapi", "**/pyproject.toml") | FastAPI → faion-python-developer | | pyproject.toml with django | Grep("django", "**/pyproject.toml") | Django → faion-python-developer | | package.json with react | Grep("react", "**/package.json") | React → faion-javascript-developer | | package.json with next | Grep("next", "**/package.json") | Next.js → faion-javascript-developer | | package.json with express | Grep("express", "**/package.json") | Node.js → faion-javascript-developer | | go.mod | Glob("**/go.mod") | Go → faion-backend-systems | | Cargo.toml | Glob("**/Cargo.toml") | Rust → faion-backend-systems | | pom.xml or build.gradle | Glob("**/pom.xml") | Java → faion-backend-enterprise | | *.csproj | Glob("**/*.csproj") | C# → faion-backend-enterprise | | composer.json | Glob("**/composer.json") | PHP → faion-backend-enterprise | | Gemfile | Glob("**/Gemfile") | Ruby → faion-backend-enterprise | | tailwind.config.* | Glob("**/tailwind.config.*") | Tailwind → faion-frontend-developer |

Also check for patterns:

Glob("**/services/*.py") → Service layer exists, follow pattern
Glob("**/tests/**") → Tests exist, check style
Grep("class.*ViewSet", "**/*.py") → DRF ViewSets used

Discovery Questions

Use AskUserQuestion if stack not detected or task type unclear.

Q1: Task Type (if unclear from request)

question: "What type of development task is this?"
header: "Task"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Build new feature"
    description: "Create new functionality from scratch"
  - label: "Fix a bug"
    description: "Something isn't working correctly"
  - label: "Refactor / improve"
    description: "Restructure without changing behavior"
  - label: "Add tests"
    description: "Improve test coverage"
  - label: "Review / audit code"
    description: "Check quality, find issues"

Routing:

"Build new feature" → Full workflow, may need architecture
"Fix a bug" → Investigate first, minimal targeted changes
"Refactor / improve" → Skill(faion-code-quality)
"Add tests" → Skill(faion-testing-developer)
"Review / audit code" → Skill(faion-code-quality)

Q2: Tech Stack (only if not auto-detected)

question: "What's the primary technology?"
header: "Stack"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Python (Django/FastAPI)"
    description: "Python backend development"
  - label: "JavaScript/TypeScript"
    description: "React, Node.js, Next.js"
  - label: "Go"
    description: "Go backend services"
  - label: "Other (Rust/Java/C#/PHP/Ruby)"
    description: "Enterprise or systems languages"

Routing:

"Python" → Skill(faion-python-developer)
"JavaScript/TypeScript" → Skill(faion-javascript-developer)
"Go" → Skill(faion-backend-systems)
"Other" → Skill(faion-backend-enterprise)

Q3: Code Area (for large codebases)

question: "Which area of the codebase?"
header: "Area"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Backend / API"
    description: "Server-side logic, database"
  - label: "Frontend / UI"
    description: "User interface, components"
  - label: "Both (full-stack)"
    description: "Changes span frontend and backend"
  - label: "Infrastructure"
    description: "Build, deploy, CI/CD"

Q4: Existing Patterns (for existing codebases)

question: "Should I follow existing patterns in the codebase?"
header: "Patterns"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Yes, match existing style"
    description: "I'll investigate and follow conventions"
  - label: "No, use best practices"
    description: "Apply modern patterns regardless"
  - label: "Improve while matching"
    description: "Follow style but suggest improvements"

Action:

"Yes, match existing" → Read existing code first, extract patterns
"No, use best practices" → Apply methodology defaults
"Improve while matching" → Note improvements in comments/TODOs
