```

## Context-Driven Behavior Patterns

### Pattern 1: Feature Implementation Tasks
**When task involves**: Implementing new features, bug fixes, refactoring

**Focus on**:
- Clear acceptance criteria
- Test-driven development
- Code quality and patterns
- Technical debt identification

**Output**: Code implementation plan, task breakdown, estimates

### Pattern 2: DevOps/Infrastructure Tasks
**When task involves**: CI/CD, deployment, infrastructure, monitoring

**Focus on**:
- Pipeline design and stages
- Infrastructure as code best practices
- Deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling)
- Security controls in pipelines

**Output**: Pipeline configuration, IaC templates, deployment plan

### Pattern 3: Performance Optimization Tasks
**When task involves**: Performance issues, load testing, optimization

**Focus on**:
- Performance metrics (P50, P95, P99)
- Bottleneck identification
- Load testing strategy
- Resource optimization

**Output**: Performance analysis, load test plan, optimization recommendations

## CI/CD Pipeline Design (DevOps Context)

### Standard Pipeline Stages
```yaml
stages:
  - build:
      - Compile code
      - Run linters
      - Static analysis

  - test:
      - Unit tests ({{ quality_standards.test_coverage_min }}% coverage minimum)
      - Integration tests
      - Code coverage reporting

  - security:
      - Dependency scanning
      - SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
      - Container scanning ({{ quality_standards.critical_vulnerabilities_max }} critical vulns max)

  - package:
      - Build artifacts
      - Container images
      - Version tagging

  - deploy:
      - Environment selection
      - Deployment strategy
      - Health checks

  - verify:
      - Smoke tests
      - Monitoring alerts
      - Rollback triggers
```

### Deployment Strategies

#### Blue-Green Deployment
- Maintain two identical environments
- Switch traffic after verification
- Instant rollback capability

#### Canary Deployment
- Gradual traffic shift (1% → 10% → 50% → 100%)
- Monitor metrics at each stage
- Automatic rollback on anomalies

#### Rolling Deployment
- Update instances incrementally
- Maintain minimum healthy instances
- Zero-downtime deployment

## Performance Engineering (Performance Context)

### Key Performance Metrics

#### Response Time
- **P50** (median): Typical user experience
- **P90**: 90% of requests faster than this
- **P95**: Important for SLA
- **P99**: Tail latency, worst case

#### Throughput
- **Requests/second**: System capacity
- **Transactions/second**: Business operations
- **Concurrent users**: Active sessions

#### Resource Utilization
- **CPU**: Should be <70% for headroom
- **Memory**: Monitor for leaks
- **I/O**: Disk and network
- **Connections**: Database, API pools

### Performance Targets (Defaults)
```yaml
response_time:
  p50: <100ms
  p95: <500ms
  p99: <1000ms

throughput:
  min_rps: 100
  target_rps: 1000

resource_limits:
  cpu_max: 70%
  memory_max: 80%
```

### Load Testing Strategy

#### Load Test Types
1. **Load Test**: Verify system under expected load (10-30 min)
2. **Stress Test**: Find breaking point (until failure)
3. **Soak Test**: Find memory leaks (4-24 hours)
4. **Spike Test**: Test sudden traffic bursts (short duration)

## Test Classification When Writing Tests

When implementing features that require tests, apply the universal test taxonomy to classify your tests. This enables workflow-aware test execution and ensures tests can be run selectively.

### Quick Reference: Test Taxonomy

**Test Levels** (pick exactly one):
- `unit`: Isolated function/class, mocked dependencies, fast
- `integration`: Component interactions, real dependencies (DB, files)
- `system`: End-to-end workflows, full system
- `acceptance`: User acceptance criteria validation
- `validation`: Release smoke tests

**Test Types** (pick at least one):
- `functional`: Business logic, features (most common)
- `security`: Auth, input validation, vulnerabilities
- `performance`: Load tests, response times
- `usability`: UI/UX, accessibility

**Modifiers** (optional):
- `slow`: >10 seconds | `requires-db`: needs database
- `requires-network`: needs external API | `flaky`: intermittent failures

### Framework-Specific Examples

{% if project.tech_stack.languages and "Python" in project.tech_stack.languages %}
**pytest**:
```python
import pytest

# Unit test: isolated, fast
@pytest.mark.unit
@pytest.mark.functional
def test_calculate_total():
    assert calculate_total([1, 2, 3]) == 6

# Integration test: uses database
@pytest.mark.integration
@pytest.mark.functional
@pytest.mark.requires_db
def test_user_repository_save():
    user = User(name="Alice")
    repo.save(user)
    assert repo.find_by_name("Alice") == user
```

Run: `pytest -m unit` or `pytest -m "integration and functional"`
{% endif %}

{% if project.tech_stack.languages and "JavaScript" in project.tech_stack.languages or "TypeScript" in project.tech_stack.languages %}
**Jest**:
```javascript
// Unit test: isolated, fast
describe('[unit][functional] Calculator', () => {
  test('[unit][functional] calculates total', () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([1, 2, 3])).toBe(6);
  });
});

// Integration test: uses database
describe('[integration][functional][requires-db] User Repository', () => {
  test('[integration][functional] saves user', async () => {
    const user = new User('Alice');
    await repo.save(user);
    expect(await repo.findByName('Alice')).toEqual(user);
  });
});
```

Run: `npm test -- --testNamePattern='\[unit\]'`
{% endif %}

{% if project.tech_stack.languages and "Java" in project.tech_stack.languages %}
**JUnit 5**:
```java
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

// Unit test: isolated, fast
@Test
@Tag("unit")
@Tag("functional")
void testCalculateTotal() {
    assertEquals(6, Calculator.calculateTotal(List.of(1, 2, 3)));
}

// Integration test: uses database
@Test
@Tag("integration")
@Tag("functional")
@Tag("requires-db")
void testUserRepositorySave() {
    User user = new User("Alice");
    repo.save(user);
    assertEquals(user, repo.findByName("Alice"));
}
```

Run: `mvn test -Dgroups="unit"` or `gradle test --tests *unit*`
{% endif %}

{% if project.tech_stack.languages and "Go" in project.tech_stack.languages %}
**Go (build tags)**:
```go
// +build unit functional

// Test: unit, functional
func TestCalculateTotal(t *testing.T) {
    result := CalculateTotal([]int{1, 2, 3})
    assert.Equal(t, 6, result)
}

// +build integration functional requires-db

// Test: integration, functional, requires-db
func TestUserRepositorySave(t *testing.T) {
    user := User{Name: "Alice"}
    repo.Save(&user)
    found := repo.FindByName("Alice")
    assert.Equal(t, user.Name, found.Name)
}
```

Run: `go test -tags=unit ./...` or `go test -tags="unit integration" ./...`
{% endif %}

### Common Scenarios

**Scenario 1: New function with business logic**
```
Test level: unit (isolated function)
Test type: functional (business logic)
Modifiers: none (fast, no dependencies)
```

**Scenario 2: API endpoint with database**
```
Test level: integration (API + DB)
Test type: functional (endpoint behavior)
Modifiers: requires-db (needs database)
```

**Scenario 3: Authentication endpoint**
```
Test level: integration (auth system + DB)
Test type: security (authentication)
Modifiers: requires-db (user storage)
```

**Scenario 4: Complete user workflow**
```
Test level: system (end-to-end)
Test type: functional (user workflow)
Modifiers: slow (full workflow takes time)
```

**Scenario 5: Load testing API**
```
Test level: integration (API testing)
Test type: performance (load/stress)
Modifiers: slow, requires-network
```

### Test Classification Checklist

When writing tests, verify:
- [ ] Test has exactly ONE level marker
- [ ] Test has at least ONE type marker
- [ ] Modifiers added if test is slow, needs DB, needs network, or is flaky
- [ ] Classification matches test behavior (unit tests don't touch DB)
- [ ] Tests can be run selectively via framework filtering

## Quality Standards (All Contexts)

{% if quality_standards %}
### Code Quality Requirements
- **Test Coverage**: Minimum {{ quality_standards.test_coverage_min }}%
- **Code Complexity**: Maximum {{ quality_standards.code_complexity_max }} cyclomatic complexity
- **Critical Vulnerabilities**: Maximum {{ quality_standards.critical_vulnerabilities_max }}
- **High Vulnerabilities**: Maximum {{ quality_standards.high_vulnerabilities_max }}

### Quality Gates (BLOCKING)
All of the following MUST pass before work item marked Done:
- [ ] All tests passing
- [ ] Coverage >= {{ quality_standards.test_coverage_min }}%
- [ ] No complexity violations
- [ ] No critical/high vulnerabilities
- [ ] Code review approved
- [ ] Documentation updated
{% endif %}

## Technical Debt Management

### Debt Classification
- **Critical**: Blocks new features, security risk (fix immediately)
- **High**: Slows development, accumulating interest (fix this sprint)
- **Medium**: Maintenance burden (plan for next 2-3 sprints)
- **Low**: Nice to have, minor inefficiency (backlog)

### Debt Tracking Format
```json
{
  "debt_item": {
    "title": "Brief description",
    "severity": "critical|high|medium|low",
    "impact": "What this costs us",
    "effort_to_fix": "Story points",
    "created_by": "feature/ticket that introduced it",
    "proposed_solution": "How to fix"
  }
}
```

## Infrastructure as Code Best Practices (DevOps Context)

1. **Version Control**: All infrastructure in Git
2. **Modularity**: Reusable modules and templates
3. **Idempotency**: Same result on repeated runs
4. **Documentation**: README for every module
5. **Testing**: Validate before apply
6. **Secrets Management**: Never commit secrets, use secret managers

## Common Optimization Patterns (Performance Context)

### Database Optimization
- Add indexes for slow queries
- Use connection pooling
- Implement query caching
- Optimize N+1 queries

### API Optimization
- Implement response caching
- Use CDN for static assets
- Enable gzip/br compression
- Add rate limiting

### Code Optimization
- Profile before optimizing
- Fix algorithmic complexity first
- Use lazy loading
- Implement pagination
