# Operations Hub

> Browse and run pre-built cloud operations across cost, security, performance, and Kubernetes categories.

The Operations Hub provides pre-built operation patterns organized by category. Each operation pairs an agent, a tool tag, and a tested instruction — ready to run without writing prompts from scratch.

## Invocation format

```text theme={null}
@agent #tool instruction
```

| Part          | Description                                                                |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@agent`      | The agent responsible for the operation (Alex, Oliver, Tony, Kai, or Anna) |
| `#tool`       | Output type: `#dashboard`, `#report`, `#recommend`, `#alert`, `#chart`     |
| `instruction` | Natural-language task description — scope, timeframe, and filters go here  |

See [CloudThinker Language](/guide/language) for full syntax reference.

## Operation categories

| Category          | Focus                                                                 | Primary agent |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Cost optimization | Right-sizing, reserved instances, unused resources, spending analysis | Alex          |
| Security          | Audits, compliance checks, vulnerability scans, IAM reviews           | Oliver        |
| Performance       | Bottleneck detection, query optimization, scaling analysis            | Alex, Tony    |
| Operational       | Backup verification, patch compliance, maintenance tasks              | Alex          |
| Scalability       | Auto-scaling, load balancing, capacity planning                       | Alex          |
| Kubernetes        | Cluster health, pod optimization, RBAC audits                         | Kai           |

## Sample operations

### Cost optimization

| Operation                   | Agent      | Example prompt                                                             |
| --------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EC2 instance right-sizing   | Alex       | `@alex #recommend right-size EC2 instances in us-east-1 over past 30 days` |
| Reserved instance coverage  | Alex       | `@alex #report reserved instance coverage vs on-demand spend`              |
| Unused EBS volume detection | Alex       | `@alex #report unused EBS volumes across all regions`                      |
| RDS cost optimization       | Alex, Tony | `@alex @tony #recommend RDS cost reduction for production databases`       |

### Security

| Operation                   | Agent  | Example prompt                                                         |
| --------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Security group audit        | Oliver | `@oliver #report open security groups exposing public internet access` |
| IAM permission review       | Oliver | `@oliver #recommend least-privilege IAM policy changes`                |
| S3 public access check      | Oliver | `@oliver #report S3 buckets with public read or write access`          |
| SOC 2 compliance assessment | Oliver | `@oliver #report SOC 2 control gaps across AWS account`                |

### Performance

| Operation                       | Agent | Example prompt                                                        |
| ------------------------------- | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Slow query analysis             | Tony  | `@tony #report top slow queries in production RDS over past 7 days`   |
| Database performance dashboard  | Tony  | `@tony #dashboard database performance metrics for all RDS instances` |
| Auto scaling group optimization | Alex  | `@alex #recommend auto scaling policy changes for web tier`           |
| EKS resource utilization        | Kai   | `@kai #report pod resource utilization across production cluster`     |

## Custom operations

Combine any agent, tool tag, and instruction to build operations beyond the catalog:

```text theme={null}
@alex #recommend cost optimization for EC2 instances
  in us-east-1
  with <20% CPU utilization
  over past 30 days
  excluding production-critical
```

```text theme={null}
@anna coordinate security review:
  @oliver audit security groups and IAM
  @alex check for public resources
  @kai review Kubernetes RBAC
```

See [CloudThinker Language](/guide/language) for multi-agent syntax and all available tool tags.

## Scheduling

To run operations on a recurring schedule, use [Tasks](/guide/automation/tasks). Tasks let you configure frequency, scope, and notification preferences for any operation.
