Operation Execution Workflow
How Operations Work
How Operations Work
1. Operation Selection
- Browse the hub and select an operation that matches your needs
- Review the operation details, including difficulty, duration, and required agents
- Operations automatically route to the appropriate expert agent
- You can also manually specify agents using @agent syntax
- The assigned agent analyzes your infrastructure using the operation’s methodology
- Real-time progress updates show what the agent is discovering
- Receive detailed findings with actionable recommendations
- Get specific next steps and implementation guidance
- Implement recommended changes
- Schedule recurring operations for ongoing monitoring
- Generate reports for stakeholders
Advanced Features
Custom Operations
Custom Prompts
Create custom operations using natural language prompts combined with agent and tool syntax.Example:
@alex please #analyze EC2 instances in us-west-2 with high network utilization and #recommend optimization strategies
Multi-Agent Operations
Combine multiple agents for comprehensive analysis requiring diverse expertise.Example: Security review involving @oliver for security analysis and @alex for infrastructure recommendations
Integration with Workflows
1
Recurring Operations
Use #schedule to set up recurring operations for continuous monitoring
2
Alert Integration
Configure #alert to notify teams when thresholds are exceeded
3
Dashboard Creation
Use #dashboard to create monitoring views for ongoing visibility
4
Report Generation
Generate #reports for compliance, audits, and stakeholder communication
Best Practices
Effective Operation Usage
Start Simple
