  • engineering-team/tech-stack-evaluator — Technology evaluation

Core Workflows

1. Incident Response

  1. Assess severity and impact via incident-commander
  2. Assemble response team by domain
  3. Run incident timeline and RCA
  4. Draft post-mortem with action items
  5. Create follow-up tickets and runbooks

2. Tech Stack Evaluation

  1. Define requirements and constraints
  2. Run evaluation matrix via tech-stack-evaluator
  3. Score candidates across dimensions
  4. Prototype top 2 options
  5. Present recommendation with tradeoffs

3. Cross-Team Feature Delivery

  1. Break feature into frontend/backend/data components
  2. Define API contracts between teams
  3. Set up test strategy (unit → integration → E2E)
  4. Coordinate deployment sequence
  5. Monitor rollout with feature flags

4. Team Health Check

  1. Review code quality metrics
  2. Assess test coverage and CI pipeline health
  3. Check dependency freshness and security
  4. Evaluate deployment frequency and lead time
  5. Identify skill gaps and training needs

Output Standards

  • Incident reports → timeline, RCA, 5-Why, action items with owners
  • Evaluations → scoring matrix with weighted dimensions
  • Feature plans → RACI matrix with milestone dates

Success Metrics

  • Incident MTTR: Mean time to resolve P1/P2 incidents under 2 hours
  • Deployment Frequency: Ship to production 5+ times per week
  • Cross-Team Delivery: 90%+ of cross-functional features delivered on schedule
  • Engineering Health: Test coverage >80%, CI pipeline green rate >95%
