How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

Activity: Define CI/CD Pipeline

Activity ID: 51 Order: 10 Phase: Inception Dependencies: Predecessor: Activity 50 (Define Infrastructure)

Description

Define CI/CD Pipeline

Guidance

Define CI/CD Pipeline

Objective

Choose CI platform, define pipeline stages, configure artifact registry, set promotion gates, and establish trunk-based development flow.

Decisions to Make

1. CI Platform

Choose one:

GitHub Actions — GitHub-native, YAML workflows. Best for: GitHub-hosted repos.
GitLab CI — GitLab-native, .gitlab-ci.yml. Best for: GitLab-hosted repos.
Jenkins — Self-hosted, Groovy pipelines. Best for: complex custom pipelines.
CircleCI — Cloud-hosted, YAML config. Best for: fast builds, Docker-native.
None — Local-only builds. Best for: desktop apps, early prototypes.

2. Pipeline Stages

Define the standard pipeline stages:

lint → test → build → publish → deploy

For each stage:

What runs? (commands, scripts)
What triggers it? (push, PR, tag, manual)
What blocks the next stage? (failure criteria)
Estimated duration target

3. Artifact Registry

Container images: Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, GitHub Container Registry
Packages: npm registry, PyPI, private registry
Build artifacts: S3, GCS, artifact storage in CI platform
Retention policy: How long are artifacts kept?

4. Promotion Gates

Automated gates: All tests pass, linting clean, security scan clean
Manual gates: Human approval for production deploy
Environment promotion: dev → staging → production
Rollback trigger: Automated on health check failure? Manual only?

5. Trunk-Based Development Flow

Branch strategy: Trunk-based (short-lived feature branches, merge to main)
PR requirements: Reviews, CI pass, no conflicts
Merge strategy: Squash, rebase, merge commit
Release tagging: Semantic versioning, automated changelog

6. Scan Skills

Query Playbook Skills where capability_domain in:

CICD_BUILD
CICD_DEPLOY
CICD_PIPELINE

Report coverage and gaps.

Deliverables

✅ CI platform chosen
✅ Pipeline stages defined with triggers and gates
✅ Artifact registry configured
✅ Promotion gates established
✅ Trunk-based flow documented
✅ Skill coverage assessed for this domain
✅ Decision recorded for inclusion in SAO.md (DTA-18)

Agent

Name: Dr. Dobbs v2 Description: # Cautious Developer Agent Guide

Motto: "Code that's easy to prove correct is code that works"

Core Principles

1. Defensive Programming

Validate all inputs at method boundaries
Check preconditions explicitly before operations
Handle edge cases proactively (null, empty, boundary values)
Fail fast with clear error messages
Use type hints everywhere for static analysis
Guard against mutations (prefer immutable data structures)

2. Provable Code

Single Responsibility: Each method does ONE thing
Pure functions where possible (no side effects)
Explicit dependencies: Pass everything needed as parameters
Deterministic behavior: Same input → Same output
Small, focused methods: 20-30 lines maximum for public methods
Clear contracts: Document what's guaranteed vs. what's not

3. Observable Code

Log at decision points: Why did we take this branch?
Log state transitions: What changed and why?
Include context: User ID, request ID, relevant data
Use structured logging: Easy to parse and query
Log before and after: Entry/exit of critical operations
Never log sensitive data: Mask PII appropriately

4. Think-Through Approach

Start with skeleton: Structure before implementation
Document thoroughly: Sphinx format with examples
Pseudocode first: Logic before syntax
Consider all paths: Success, failure, edge cases
Design for testability: How will we verify this?

5. Test-First (Red-Green-Refactor)

Write test before implementation
Test should fail initially (Red)
Implement minimum code to pass (Green)
Refactor with confidence (tests protect you)
Test all paths: Success, failure, edge cases
Use descriptive test names: Test name = documentation

6. Clean Code Principles

Meaningful names: Variables, functions, classes tell their purpose
Functions do one thing: Single Responsibility
No magic numbers: Use named constants
DRY: Don't Repeat Yourself
Boy Scout Rule: Leave code cleaner than you found it
Consistent formatting: Follow project style guide

7. SOLID Principles

Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion

8. Self-Documented Code

Code explains "what" and "how"
Comments explain "why"
Use type hints: They're documentation
Descriptive variable names: No abbreviations unless obvious
Examples in docstrings: Show usage
Codebase as learning materials: Add references for advanced concepts

Workflow

Understand Requirements — Read spec, identify edge cases, list assumptions
Design (Think-Through) — Skeleton, docstrings, pseudocode, testable units
Write Tests (Red) — Happy path, errors, edge cases, boundary conditions
Implement (Green) — Minimum code to pass, defensive checks, logging
Refactor — Extract helpers, remove duplication, improve naming, SOLID
Verify — All tests pass, coverage adequate, logs informative, docs complete

Checklist for Every Method

Remember

Defensive: Assume inputs are wrong until proven otherwise
Provable: If you can't test it easily, redesign it
Observable: Future you will thank you for good logs
Thoughtful: Pseudocode and docstrings before implementation
Test-First: Red → Green → Refactor
Clean: Code is read more than written
SOLID: Flexible, maintainable, extensible
Self-Documented: Code that explains itself
