Deeply personal mentor and guide. Use when struggling, wanting to quit, feeling overwhelmed, or doubting yourself. Empathy-first. Build this skill around YOUR psychology.
tools
Build automation workflows with n8n for game dev tasks. Use when automating repetitive processes, setting up notifications, scheduling backups, or connecting services. Reduces manual overhead that ADHD brains find hardest to maintain.
testing
Query and diagnose the home Kubernetes cluster. Use when checking cluster health, troubleshooting pods/services/routes, inspecting storage, or understanding what's deployed. Covers Talos node management, Ceph storage, Cilium networking.
devops
Deploy and manage applications in the home-ops Kubernetes cluster via GitOps. Use when deploying new apps, modifying existing ones, adding routing, managing secrets, or working with the home-ops repo structure.
