Agents 10
Call as @agent-build-like-amazon:name- @agent-build-like-amazon:code-review-bar-raiser
Review code for production readiness — correctness, operability, testability, backward compatibility, readability, and long-term maintainability.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:coe-reviewer
Review a Correction of Errors document for root-cause depth, mechanisms over intentions, blameless framing, and concrete action items with owners and dates.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:design-bar-raiser
Review a design document for technical soundness, honest alternatives, capacity and cost planning, operability, and pattern-catalog fit.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:doc-bar-raiser
Review PR/FAQs and written narratives for customer obsession, clarity, data over opinion, and genuinely hard FAQs; in /onboard Path B, surface the questions only a human can answer.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:implementation-verifier
Verify that an implementation satisfies the spec's properties and requirements through property-based testing, interface conformance checking, and regression detection.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:ops-bar-raiser
Review designs, code, and launch plans for operational readiness — monitoring, alarms, deployment safety, recoverability, debuggability, capacity, and runbooks.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:principal-engineer
Break ties on disputed design decisions with a long-term, system-wide call that names the trade-off explicitly and states which side to take.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:requirements-analyzer
Analyze a requirements document across all requirements at once to detect contradictions, gaps, and ambiguities that only become visible when requirements interact.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:security-guardian
Review code, designs, and configurations for security vulnerabilities, unsafe data handling, weak access control, and unnecessary blast radius.
- @agent-build-like-amazon:task-planner
Decompose a design into a dependency-ordered tasks.md that maximizes parallelism, marks one-way doors, and traces every task to a requirement.
