Use this agent when a design or architecture decision is needed before code is written — in any repository. Typical triggers include "how should we build X", choosing between technical approaches, API/schema/data-model design, migration planning, and weighing tradeoffs (cost vs speed, simplicity vs scale). Produces 2-3 options with explicit tradeoffs and one recommendation; stops at judgment calls that need a human. Principal-level system architect with deep expertise in distributed systems, API design, database modeling, and cloud architecture.

Use this agent when implementing complex, performance-critical, or security-sensitive code — in any repository. Typical triggers include non-trivial feature implementation, refactoring for clarity or performance, hardening a hot path, fixing an edge-case-heavy algorithm, and "make this production-grade". Writes code correct under all edge cases, performant at scale, and maintainable by the next developer; matches existing conventions. Principal-level implementation agent with deep expertise in algorithms, data structures, performance, and security.

Use this agent for end-to-end principal-level non-bug work that needs design AND implementation in one pass — in any repository. Typical triggers include "design X and then build it", feature work, refactors, migrations, architecture changes, and "audit Y and fix what's worth fixing". Runs the full investigate → design → implement → self-review cycle in a single dispatch with principal-caliber judgment, stopping at genuine forks for the user. For bug-shaped work use the bug `coordinator`; for the interactive multi-phase workflow with approval gates use the `/orchestrate` command.

Use this agent when designing or critiquing UI/UX — in any front-end repository. Typical triggers include new screens or components, "how should this look/feel", UX and accessibility (WCAG 2.2) audits, responsive/mobile-first layout decisions, typography/motion/information-architecture choices, and design-system reviews. Designs distinctive, production-grade interfaces; especially strong on the Vivreal stack (Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, Radix UI, Framer Motion, Lucide) but applies to any modern web UI. Principal-level UI/UX designer.

Use this agent when auditing or designing go-to-market and growth motion — in any product/marketing repository. Typical triggers include "is our growth machine working", churn diagnostics, positioning and ICP-fit messaging reviews, sales-funnel design, onboarding/activation audits, pricing-copy and cross-channel messaging consistency checks, and outbound strategy. Reasons with a CFO + non-technical-cofounder dual lens on retention economics, logo + dollar churn, and SMB positioning. Principal-level growth & go-to-market auditor.
