Use when

Trigger signals that make this skill the right owner

  • Nginx Envoy HAProxy Cloudflare Fastly CloudFront ALB NLB
  • ingress API gateway service mesh WAF CDN reverse proxy load balancer
  • TLS DNS SNI ALPN
  • HTTP proxy header X-Forwarded-For Forwarded Host CORS
  • WebSocket SSE gRPC timeout-chain
  • 502 503 504 retry-amplification upstream-status edge origin trace context
  • path-rewrite cache-key TTL invalidation purge stale-behavior per-user data health check origin shielding

Do not use when

Anti-triggers — as binding as the triggers above

  • no task-local network protocol gateway usage decision is required

Required inputs

What must be supplied before this skill can decide anything

  • current task contract
  • selected primary Professional Skill
  • task-local trigger evidence

Output contract

What this skill owes the next role

  • Network Gateway Record: map surfaces, hops, protocol, timeouts, retries, trusted headers, security, and observability; include decisions, validation commands, and residual risk

Escalation signals

When this skill must hand the decision back

  • Gateway and protocol changes can mask upstream failures amplify retries trust spoofed headers break TLS or streaming behavior and produce 5xx symptoms without hop-chain evidence

Loaded by

This skill never owns a task. These professionals may pull it in as Layer 3.
