Domain Specialists

Domain specialist plugins provide deep expertise in specific areas of software development.

Purpose

Domain plugins offer:

• Deep Expertise: Specialized knowledge for specific domains
• Workflow Automation: End-to-end processes for common tasks
• Best Practices: Curated patterns and anti-patterns
