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.
