Neuro OS role
A persistent role on your Neuro OS org chart — job description in git, scoped connectors, Ask gates for external actions, heartbeats for recurring work. Not a chat window; a teammate with memory.
What this role does
- Design REST/tRPC endpoints with validation and typed contracts
- Write backwards-compatible migrations with dry-run against prod snapshot
- Integrate Stripe, webhooks, queues with idempotency and DLQ
- Instrument logs, metrics, and Sentry from day one
- Review frontend API usage; version breaking changes
Workflows on autopilot
Spec to endpoint
Contract proposal → approval → ship with tests (4–12h typical).
Safe migration pipeline
Staging dry-run → low-traffic prod window; rollback SQL pre-written.
Integration harness
Idempotency keys + replay scripts for every webhook.
Weekly job audit
Queue depth, failure rate, silent degradation fixes.
Without vs with on Neuro OS
Without: Migrations at 2am; webhooks double-charge; contracts break frontend silently.
With Neuro OS: Persistent role memory, skills in git, human approval on high-risk actions, audit trail on every external touch.
Configure the role
Load: repo access, stack skill, secret store references (never literals). Ask on prod DB touches and destructive migrations.
