Without Ring, AI assistants often:

• Skip tests and jump straight to implementation
• Make changes without understanding root causes
• Claim tasks are complete without verification
• Forget to check for existing solutions
• Repeat known mistakes

Ring solves this by:

• Enforcing proven workflows - Test-driven development, systematic debugging, proper planning
• Providing 66 specialized skills (25 core + 9 dev-team + 10 product planning + 7 FinOps regulatory + 7 technical writing + 8 PMO)
• 30 specialized agents - 7 review/planning + 9 developer + 3 product research + 3 FinOps regulatory + 3 technical writing + 5 PMO
• Automating skill discovery - Skills load automatically at session start
• Preventing common failures - Built-in anti-patterns and mandatory checklists

Review & Planning Agents (default plugin):

• ring:code-reviewer - Foundation review (architecture, code quality, design patterns)
• ring:business-logic-reviewer - Correctness review (domain logic, requirements, edge cases)
• ring:security-reviewer - Safety review (vulnerabilities, OWASP, authentication)
• ring:test-reviewer - Test quality review (coverage, edge cases, assertions, test anti-patterns)
• ring:nil-safety-reviewer - Nil/null safety review (traces pointer risks, missing guards, panic paths)
• ring:write-plan - Implementation planning agent
• ring:codebase-explorer - Deep architecture analysis (Opus-powered, complements built-in Explore)
• Use /ring:codereview command to orchestrate parallel review workflow

Developer Agents (dev-team plugin):

• ring:backend-engineer-golang - Go backend specialist for financial systems
• ring:backend-engineer-typescript - TypeScript/Node.js backend specialist (Express, NestJS, Fastify)
• ring:devops-engineer - DevOps infrastructure specialist
• frontend-bff-engineer-typescript - BFF & React/Next.js frontend with Clean Architecture
• ring:frontend-designer - Visual design specialist
• ring:qa-analyst - Quality assurance specialist
• ring:sre - Site reliability engineer
• ring:frontend-engineer - Senior Frontend Engineer (React/Next.js)
• prompt-quality-reviewer - Agent Quality Analyst

> Standards Compliance: All dev-team agents include a ## Standards Compliance output section with conditional requirement:

> - Optional when invoked directly or via ring:dev-cycle

> - MANDATORY when invoked from ring:dev-refactor (triggered by MODE: ANALYSIS ONLY in prompt)

>

> When mandatory, agents load Ring standards via WebFetch and produce comparison tables with:

> - Current Pattern vs Expected Pattern

> - Severity classification (Critical/High/Medium/Low)

> - File locations and migration recommendations

>

> See dev-team/docs/standards/*.md for standards source. Cross-references: CLAUDE.md (Standards Compliance section), dev-team/skills/dev-refactor/SKILL.md

Technical Writing Agents (ring-tw-team plugin):

• functional-writer - Functional documentation (guides, tutorials, conceptual docs)
• api-writer - API reference documentation (endpoints, schemas, examples)
• docs-reviewer - Documentation quality review (voice, tone, structure, completeness)

FinOps Agents (ring-finops-team plugin):

• finops-analyzer - Financial operations analysis
• finops-automation - FinOps template creation and automation
• infrastructure-cost-estimator - Infrastructure cost estimation and analysis

PMO Agents (ring-pmo-team plugin):

Ring works across multiple AI development platforms:

| Platform | Format | Status | Features |

|----------|--------|--------|----------|

| Claude Code | Native | ✅ Source of truth | Skills, agents, commands, hooks |

| Factory AI | Transformed | ✅ Supported | Droids, commands, skills |

| Cursor | Transformed | ✅ Supported | Rules, workflows |

| Cline | Transformed | ✅ Supported | Prompts |

Transformation Notes:

• Claude Code receives Ring content in its native format
• Factory AI: agents → droids terminology
• Cursor: Skills/agents → .cursorrules and workflows
• Cline: All content → structured prompts
