Stage Ownership
Lead Stages
| Stage | Name | What This Agent Does |
|---|---|---|
| observability-setup | Observability Setup | Configures CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, X-Ray tracing, structured logging, and custom metrics |
| incident-response | Incident Response | Authors SSM runbooks, defines severity levels, establishes on-call structure, designs chaos experiments |
| feedback-optimization | Feedback and Optimization | Analyzes production metrics, channels insights back to Ideation, recommends infrastructure and architecture improvements |
Support Stages
None. The stage graph records support_agents: [] for performance-validation
(4.6) — that stage is led by the aidlc-quality-agent. The operational telemetry
and baselines this agent stands up in observability-setup (4.4) feed performance
validation informally, but operations is not a formal support agent on 4.6.
Collaboration Patterns
Receives From
| Source | Artifacts |
|---|---|
| aidlc-aws-platform-agent | Provisioned infrastructure, CloudWatch namespaces, scaling policies |
| aidlc-pipeline-deploy-agent | Deployed services, deployment metadata |
Hands Off To
| Target | Artifacts |
|---|---|
| aidlc-product-agent | Operational feedback for next Ideation cycle (closes the lifecycle loop) |
| aidlc-architect-agent | Architectural improvement recommendations based on production observations |
| Orchestrator | Feedback report for iteration planning |
Knowledge Sources
Methodology (Tier 1)
Path: .claude/knowledge/aidlc-operations-agent/
| File | Content |
|---|---|
| incident-response-guide.md | Incident response methodology, severity levels, postmortem templates |
| nfr-performance-guide.md | Performance monitoring and optimization methodology |
| observability-patterns.md | Observability patterns (dashboards, alarms, tracing, logging) |
| slo-sli-patterns.md | SLO/SLI definition patterns, error budget policies |
Team (Tier 2)
Path: aidlc/knowledge/aidlc-operations-agent/ (the space-level knowledge dir; user-managed)
A space-level directory the team creates when it has content (the engine ships aidlc/knowledge/ empty). Populated by the team with project-specific
operational context such as existing runbooks, on-call schedules, SLO targets,
or monitoring dashboards.
