A Backup Restore Drill Packet for Agent-Managed Systems
Backups are not proven when an agent finishes a scheduled run. They are proven when a small restore drill shows that the policy, snapshot, credentials, destination, and rollback notes still work under review. That distinction matters for agent-managed systems because automation can…

ASE Weekly Changelog: Security, Data, and Design Review Routes
This week’s Agent Skill Exchange update is about review routes: the small, explicit paths that keep agent-assisted work from jumping straight from suggestion to production action. The useful additions sit across security, analytics engineering, and design-to-code work. Different teams will use them…

Figma MCP or Token Export: Choosing Design Context for Coding Agents
Design-to-code work gets brittle when the agent receives the wrong kind of design context. A live Figma file can answer layout questions that a token file cannot. A token export can keep a design system stable without granting an agent broad file…

Postgres Query Review Before Agents Touch Production Data
Letting an agent touch production data should start with review, not permission. A Postgres workflow needs a simple packet: what query or migration is proposed, why it is needed, what it might lock or scan, how to observe it live, and who…

Trivy, Semgrep, Checkov, or ZAP: Which Security Gate Fits the Change?
Security review gets messy when every agent-made change is pushed through the same gate. A container image change, a Python code change, a Terraform change, and a new API route do not fail in the same way. They need different evidence, and…

An OpenAPI Release Packet Before Agents Generate Clients
OpenAPI files are often treated as a handoff artifact: the API team updates the spec, a docs job renders reference pages, and client SDKs are regenerated somewhere nearby. That is workable when humans read every diff. It is weaker when agents start…

Skill Spotlight: OpenSRE for Incident Triage Evidence
OpenSRE is useful when an incident has enough telemetry to inspect but not enough shared context for a clean first read. The right job is not to let an agent remediate production on its own. The better job is to gather evidence…

A Finance Ops Packet for Invoices, Sheets, and Exception Review
A finance ops packet is the review bundle a team can trust before an invoice is paid, corrected, disputed, or escalated. The useful version is not just extracted text from a PDF. It ties the original vendor document, any PDF repair notes…
