External AI agent skills — ict-network-architect

Proven, publicly available AI agent skills mapped to this occupation. Nothing is copied from the sources: every entry is a name, a one-line summary and a link to the upstream skill package. Each section names its source repository, commit, license and retrieval date.

Tiers: core = the skill directly exercises a top market hard skill, tool or method (from gated job-ad evidence) or an essential ESCO competence of this occupation; adjacent = plausibly useful, secondary. Entries are capped at 12 per source and 80 in total per occupation (core first, strongest matches survive); everything beyond the caps is excluded and logged in the pipeline audit trail, not in this package.

Matched deterministically (ISCO group + title/competence keywords, tiered against market evidence + ESCO essentials) by pipeline/p5_enrich_ai_skills.py on 2026-07-14.

brainstorming adjacent You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation. source
using-git-worktrees adjacent Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback source
requesting-code-review adjacent Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements source
writing-plans adjacent Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code source
receiving-code-review adjacent Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation source
executing-plans adjacent Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints source
finishing-a-development-branch adjacent Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup source
