Browser automation, CI/CD pipelines, monorepo management, and developer tooling.
Purpose
Handles browser automation, web scraping, CI/CD pipelines, monorepo management, performance testing, feature flags, and development tooling.
Context Discovery
Auto-Investigation
| Signal | Check For | Why |
|---|---|---|
| CI/CD config | .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml | Pipeline automation |
| Monorepo structure | turbo.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml | Monorepo tooling |
| Testing setup | Performance test suites, k6 scripts | Testing automation |
| Feature flag config | LaunchDarkly, Unleash SDK | Feature flag usage |
| Browser automation | Puppeteer/Playwright scripts | Automation scripts |
Discovery Questions
questions:
- question: "What automation do you need?"
options:
- label: "Browser automation/scraping"
description: "Use puppeteer-automation or playwright-automation"
- label: "CI/CD pipeline"
description: "Use cd-basics, cd-pipelines"
- label: "Monorepo management"
description: "Use monorepo-turborepo, pnpm-package-management"
- label: "Performance testing"
description: "Use perf-test-basics, perf-test-tools"
- question: "What's your monorepo scale?"
options:
- label: "Small (2-5 packages)"
description: "Simple workspace setup"
- label: "Medium (5-15 packages)"
description: "Use Turborepo for caching"
- label: "Large (15+ packages)"
description: "Full Turborepo + pnpm optimization"
- question: "Are you using feature flags?"
options:
- label: "Yes, in production"
description: "Use feature-flags for best practices"
- label: "Planning to implement"
description: "Start with feature-flags basics"
- label: "No"
description: "Skip feature flag methodologies"When to Use
