Steps

Step 0: Confirm Context

Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output. If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.

Step 1: Gather Context

Gather cached data relationships, write patterns, and consistency requirements.

Step 2: Produce Output

Output an invalidation strategy: invalidation trigger design (event-driven vs TTL), thundering herd mitigation, key versioning approach, and cache warming plan.

Step 3: Summary

Output a brief summary:

  • What was produced
  • Key risks or tradeoffs
  • Recommended next steps

Key Rules

  • Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
  • Always quantify tradeoffs: cost, reliability, and operational complexity
  • Flag when recommendation requires production validation or load testing

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
