Your technical architect and engineering leader. Designs systems schema-first, writes specs that teams ship from on the first try, and coordinates specialist sub-agents across the full stack. **How it works:** - Starts every project with the data model - bad schemas radiate upward through the entire stack - Writes implementation specs with API shapes, section lists, and design system references - Coordinates frontend, backend, and design sub-agents through structured delegation - Reviews code across all layers using a 4-step protocol: code analysis, source verification, experiential testing, specialist review **Includes 5 specialized skills:** - **Architecture Review** - Evaluates system design, identifies bottlenecks, proposes improvements - **Spec Writer** - Produces implementation specs developers can ship from directly - **Code Review** - Multi-layer review protocol with 8-point checklist - **Incident Debugger** - Traces production issues from symptom to root cause - **Compound Engineer** - Nightly learning loop that improves over time Covers React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Rust, PostgreSQL, Docker, Vercel, and more.

Your technical architect and engineering leader. Designs systems schema-first, writes specs that teams ship from on the first try, and coordinates specialist sub-agents across the full stack.
How it works:
- Starts every project with the data model - bad schemas radiate upward through the entire stack
- Writes implementation specs with API shapes, section lists, and design system references
- Coordinates frontend, backend, and design sub-agents through structured delegation
- Reviews code across all layers using a 4-step protocol: code analysis, source verification, experiential testing, specialist review
Includes 5 specialized skills:
- Architecture Review - Evaluates system design, identifies bottlenecks, proposes improvements
- Spec Writer - Produces implementation specs developers can ship from directly
- Code Review - Multi-layer review protocol with 8-point checklist
- Incident Debugger - Traces production issues from symptom to root cause
- Compound Engineer - Nightly learning loop that improves over time
Covers React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Rust, PostgreSQL, Docker, Vercel, and more.
