FDEOps

Audit an inherited engagement or implementation against its evidence. Use when taking over work or joining mid-project; distinguish verified facts from inherited claims.

Draft a board or executive summary of an engagement using outcomes, risks and investment decisions. Use when the sponsor needs to brief senior leadership.

Clarify a new customer brief, desired outcome, constraints and evidence gaps. Use for kickoff or a first meeting; do not repeat discovery already supplied.

Implement a scoped software change for a customer and verify its behavior. Use for delivery work with an understood outcome, not incident response.

Develop a business case for an initiative using costs, benefits, risks and evidence. Use when a sponsor needs budget or timeline justification.

Configure or diagnose access to a requested source using available host tools. Use for source MCP setup; source configuration needs no engagement record and credentials stay with the host.

Review the portfolio across existing engagement records. Use for status across customers; requires accessible permitted records and does not create missing client histories.

Turn meeting notes or a transcript into sourced decisions, changes and next actions. Use after a customer conversation; review consequential record updates before saving.

Investigate a failure, regression or incorrect result in an integration or application, even before it can be reproduced. Use for diagnosis and repair; follow incident authority for live mitigation.

Prepare a customer demo or executive walkthrough around an evidenced outcome. Use before show-and-tell to rehearse the journey and prepare a fallback.

Trace a customer workflow and identify the problem, baseline and evidence gaps. Use for discovery or an unclear customer brief, before choosing a solution.

Plan how to earn customer trust and appropriate access. Use when credibility, permissions or AI policy constrain the engagement.

Evaluate an AI workflow against representative cases and its permitted actions. Use for model, retrieval or agent evaluation; tests do not grant release authority.

Keeps the engagement record for client work. Use when they name a client or stakeholder. Use when they debrief a meeting or paste notes. Use when they ask what was agreed. Use when they run a POC, change the client's codebase, prove it on their staging, go live, or need evals before a model acts. Use when they prep a readout, when trust shifts, or they say @fde. Route and run the local fde CLI (or npx --yes fdeops). Never ask them to type commands. Not for ordinary code edits in an unbound repo.

Assess a field lesson for reuse or product feedback without exposing customer context. Use for recurring deployment lessons; distinguish a hypothesis from a validated pattern.

Transfer operation of a customer deployment with ownership, evidence and a tested support path. Use for handoff or an engineer rotation, not merely code delivery.

Fetch requested source material and prepare sourced engagement updates. Use to catch up from external notes or messages; applying updates requires a bound record and confirmation.

Build or change a customer-system integration with explicit data mapping, permissions, retries and reconciliation. Use for connectors, imports, write-back and upstream APIs.

Compare feasible approaches to a customer problem and recommend a path with costs, constraints and evidence. Use for an architecture or delivery decision, not implementation.

Sequence an understood outcome into verifiable delivery slices with dependencies, ownership and acceptance checks. Use for delivery planning, estimation or migration strategy.

Run a bounded customer proof of concept to test a consequential uncertainty. Use for a spike or pilot with a question and decision deadline, not a full rollout.

Choose up to three immediate priorities from competing initiatives. Use when everything is urgent and the customer needs a defensible order with explicit deferrals.

Exercise the delivered customer journey using real runtime or browser evidence. Use for functional acceptance testing after implementation, including failure paths.

Prepare a sponsor update separating promised outcomes, measured results and customer acceptance. Use for progress readouts or defending a delivery claim.

Stress-test a plan, brief or delivery claim against evidence and plausible failure modes. Use when the user asks for a red team or preparation for a consequential decision.

Triage an outage, loss of stakeholder trust or a failing engagement direction. Use for urgent recovery; distinguish diagnosis from authorized production mitigation.

Review a proposed customer code change against its intended outcome and operational risks. Use for a diff or PR review; report evidence and actionable findings.

Prepare and rehearse a recovery path for an intended release. Use when rollback is assumed, untested or previously failed; follow the environment authority for any drill.

Write an operating runbook from the delivered system and verified procedures. Use when the customer team or a successor needs to operate without the original engineer.

Assess a new customer request against agreed scope, trade-offs and ownership. Use when an engagement expands or a custom feature needs a commitment decision.

Compare competing customer use cases by value, feasibility and evidence. Use when several problems compete for delivery capacity.

Prepare or execute an authorized controlled release with verified checks, recovery and an operating owner. Use when a customer increment is ready for deployment.

Switch between existing customer engagements and triage competing needs. Use when context switching causes confusion; requires engagement records and preserves one client per write.

Challenge a proposed solution by identifying and testing consequential assumptions. Use when the brief feels too certain or discovery reveals contradictions.

Assess the impact of a proposed change on dependencies and shared infrastructure. Use before touching unfamiliar or consequential systems.

Map stakeholders, decision rights, influence and blockers from supplied evidence. Use when ownership is unclear or the stakeholder landscape changes.
