render-scaling

Configures Render private services—internal-only apps that accept traffic exclusively from other Render services over the private network. Use when the user needs an internal API, microservice, gRPC server, sidecar, or any service that should not be publicly accessible. Also use when choosing between a private service and a background worker. Trigger terms: private service, pserv, internal service, internal API, microservice, gRPC, not public, private network service.

Connects and configures the Render MCP server for AI coding tools—setup per tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex), authentication, workspace selection, capability discovery, and troubleshooting. Use when MCP is not configured, list_services() fails, the user asks about Render MCP setup, or an action skill needs MCP but it's not connected yet. Trigger terms: MCP, Render MCP, list_services, MCP setup, MCP server, OAuth, API key, Bearer token, mcp.render.com, workspace selection.

Migrate from Heroku to Render by reading local project files and generating equivalent Render services. Triggers: any mention of migrating from Heroku, moving off Heroku, Heroku to Render migration, or switching from Heroku. Reads Procfile, dependency files, and app config from the local repo. Optionally uses Heroku MCP to enrich with live config vars, add-on details, and dyno sizes. Uses Render MCP or Blueprint YAML to create services.

Monitor Render services in real-time. Check health, performance metrics, logs, and resource usage. Use when users want to check service status, view metrics, monitor performance, or verify deployments are healthy.

Connects Render services over the private network—internal DNS, service discovery, and cross-service communication. Use when the user needs to wire services together, resolve internal hostnames, troubleshoot connectivity between services, configure environment isolation, or understand which services can reach each other.

Sets up and optimizes Managed PostgreSQL on Render—connection strings (internal vs external), creation constraints, storage autoscaling, connection limits, high availability, read replicas, backups, and MCP inspection. Use when the user mentions Postgres, PostgreSQL, Render database, connection string, DATABASE_URL, backups, snapshots, replicas, HA, disk storage, connection pooling, or troubleshooting DB connectivity.

Deploys and configures static sites on Render's global CDN—build commands, publish paths, SPA routing, redirects, custom headers, and PR previews. Use when the user needs to deploy a static site, set up a React/Vue/Hugo/Gatsby frontend, configure SPA fallback routing, add redirect rules, customize response headers, or choose between a static site and a web service for their frontend. Trigger terms: static site, CDN, SPA, single-page app, React deploy, Vue deploy, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Jekyll, staticPublishPath.

Build, validate locally, deploy, and troubleshoot Render Workflows with the current Python or TypeScript SDK. Use for defining or chaining tasks, integrating the SDK into an existing project, running tasks with the local development server, optionally scaffolding a starter, authoring "type: workflow" in render.yaml, triggering runs from application code, and releasing workflows.

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.

Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Use when the user says "diagnose"/"debug this", or reports something broken/throwing/failing/slow.

Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes: Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to "review since X".

Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
