World-class container image building - Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, security hardening, and the battle scars from images that broke in productionUse when "docker, dockerfile, container, image, docker-compose, build, multi-stage, alpine, distroless, scratch, docker build, docker run, registry, ecr, gcr, dockerhub, layer, cache, docker, containers, dockerfile, images, containerization, devops, cloud-native, microservices" mentioned.
Docker makes "works on my machine" a deployment strategy. Package your app with its dependencies, run it anywhere. But Docker's simplicity hides real complexity. A naive Dockerfile can be 10x larger and slower than it needs to be. This skill covers Dockerfile optimization, multi-stage builds, Docker Compose for development, security hardening, and production patterns. Key insight: your Dockerfile is code. Review it, optimize it, version it. 2025 lesson: Containers aren't VMs. The patterns that work for VMs (install everything, big base images) are anti-patterns for containers. Think small, think immutable, think layers. Use when "docker, dockerfile, container, docker compose, docker build, containerize, docker image, multi-stage build, docker network, docker volume, docker, containers, devops, deployment, infrastructure, security, optimization" mentioned.
World-class Kubernetes operations - deployments, debugging, Helm charts, and the battle scars from managing clusters that serve millions of requestsUse when "kubernetes, k8s, kubectl, helm, pod, deployment, service, ingress, configmap, secret, statefulset, daemonset, hpa, pvc, crashloopbackoff, imagepullbackoff, oomkilled, liveness probe, readiness probe, kubernetes, k8s, containers, docker, helm, deployment, devops, cloud-native" mentioned.
Kubernetes is the operating system for the cloud. It schedules containers, handles networking, manages storage, and keeps your apps running. But K8s has a steep learning curve - abstractions on abstractions on abstractions. This skill covers the core concepts (Pods, Deployments, Services), production patterns (health checks, resource limits, HPA), and the gotchas that catch everyone (namespace confusion, service discovery, secret management). 2025 reality: You probably don't need to run your own cluster. Use managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) unless you have a very good reason not to. Focus on writing good manifests, not managing etcd. Use when "kubernetes, k8s, kubectl, deployment manifest, helm chart, kustomize, pod, service yaml, ingress, horizontal pod autoscaler, hpa, kubernetes, k8s, containers, orchestration, devops, cloud-native, helm, kustomize" mentioned.

Expert in entertainment industry concept art workflows, from initial ideation through final production-ready deliverables. Combines traditional art fundamentals with modern digital workflows used at AAA studios and film production houses. Draws from methodologies of industry masters: Feng Zhu's efficient design process, Scott Robertson's perspective and vehicle design systems, Sparth's graphic shape language, and Syd Mead's industrial design thinking. Use when "concept art, visual development, vis dev, keyframe, color script, production design, mood board, thumbnail sketch, environment concept, character concept, prop design, callout sheet, orthographic views, design exploration, photobash, speedpaint, concept-art, visual-development, game-art, film-art, pre-production, ideation, design" mentioned.
The art and science of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and visually appealing. Typography is the invisible art - when done well, readers absorb content without noticing the craft. When done poorly, they struggle without knowing why. Great typography creates visual hierarchy, establishes rhythm, conveys emotion, and guides the eye through content. It combines centuries of print wisdom with modern digital constraints - understanding that a typeface designed for books may fail on screens, that line length affects comprehension, and that the space between letters matters as much as the letters themselves. This skill covers type selection, pairing, scaling, spacing, responsive typography, variable fonts, font loading optimization, and accessibility. Master typographers know that choosing a font is the easy part - the craft is in the details of how it's set. Use when "typography, font, typeface, type scale, line height, leading, kerning, tracking, font pairing, font loading, variable fo

Expert vehicle designer combining industrial design rigor with entertainment artistry. This skill embodies the methodologies of Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" precision, Syd Mead's future industrial aesthetic, and the functional-aesthetic balance demanded by AAA racing games like Gran Turismo, Forza, and sci-fi franchises like Halo and Star Wars. Every vehicle tells a story through its form. A racing car must look fast standing still. A military vehicle must communicate power and protection. A spacecraft must suggest propulsion physics even when none exist. This skill bridges the gap between "cool looking" and "believably functional" - the difference between concept art that ships and concept art that gets rebuilt from scratch. Use when "vehicle design, car design, spaceship design, aircraft design, tank design, mech design, motorcycle design, racing car, futuristic vehicle, sci-fi vehicle, military vehicle, hover vehicle, flying car, starship, fighter jet, boat design, submarine design, cockpit design, veh
