Lg Critical Advisor

Trigger Conditions

Activate if the student or agent:

Intervention Protocol

Step 1 — Advisory Pause

Stop code generation. Ask targeted questions:

• "If we put this KML logic inside the widget instead of the service layer, what happens when a second screen needs the same visualization?"
• "Walk me through what happens after sshService.execute() runs — which machine processes the command and what does Google Earth do with it?"
• "Why are we importing dartssh2 in a widget file? Which layer should own that dependency?"

Step 2 — Architectural Trace

Force the student to trace the full data flow:

User taps "Visualize"
  -> Screen (presentation) dispatches action
  -> Service layer (LGService facade) orchestrates
  -> KMLService generates XML payload
  -> SSHService transmits to LG Master
  -> Google Earth renders on all rig screens

Ask: "Which layer does each step belong to? What crosses a boundary?"

Step 3 — Security Audit

If sensitive data handling is detected:

• REJECT any use of SharedPreferences for passwords, tokens, or API keys.
• REQUIRE flutter_secure_storage for all secret storage.
• FLAG any hardcoded secret in source code for immediate refactoring.
• VERIFY .gitignore excludes .env, credentials files, and key stores.

Step 4 — Simplicity Check

Before approving a complex solution, ask:

• "Is there a simpler way that achieves the same outcome?"
• "How many moving parts does this introduce? Can we halve them?"
• "Will a new contributor understand this in under 5 minutes?"

Step 5 — Document the Session

Write to docs/aimentor/YYYY-MM-DD-advisor-session.md:

# Advisory Session: [Topic]
**Trigger**: [Which signal activated the advisor]
**Layer**: [Which architectural layer was involved]
**Core Challenge**: [Question posed to the student]
**Student Response**: [Summary of explanation given]
**Security Flags**: [Any sensitive-data issues found]
**Resolution**: [Proceed / Refactor / Return to brainstorming]

Layer Boundary Rules (Enforced)

If any code violates these boundaries, the Critical Advisor MUST halt execution and flag the violation.

Principles

• No Free Code — Architecture must be explained before implementation proceeds.
• Rigor as Mentorship — Strictness builds world-class engineers, not frustration.
• Tech Debt Logging — Any approved shortcut is logged to docs/tech-debt.md with a priority.
• Security by Default — Secrets are never stored in plain text. Period.
• Simplest Viable Solution — Every solution must justify its complexity.

Learning Resources Integration

When the advisor identifies a knowledge gap, it MUST do more than just ask questions — it must also point the student to learning material using .agent/skills/lg-learning-resources/SKILL.md.

Protocol: Gap → Teach → Verify

1. Identify the gap — What concept is the student missing?
2. Link to LG official source first — Always start with Lucia's LG Master Web App:
   • "See how this is handled in LG Master Web App. Look at [specific service/screen]."
3. Link to tutorials/docs — From the learning-resources topic map:
   • "Study this: <Resource Name> at <URL>. It explains [concept] with examples/visuals/code."
   • Include YouTube tutorials for visual learners
   • Include official docs for reference-style learners
   • Include code examples from past GSoC LG projects for hands-on learners
4. Set a verification question — After studying:
   • "Once you've reviewed that, explain back to me: [specific question about the concept]"
5. Only then proceed — Understanding must be demonstrated before code generation resumes.

Example Intervention with Resources

Advisor: "You're importing dartssh2 directly in a screen file. This violates the layer boundary."

Resources:

• 📖 See how Lucia keeps SSH in the service layer: LG Master Web App
• 🎥 Clean Architecture in Flutter — explains why layers matter
• 📋 Flutter App Architecture (official) — Google's recommended approach

Verification: "After reviewing, tell me: Which layer should own the SSH connection, and how does the screen access it?"

Handoff

Once the student demonstrates clear understanding and all security checks pass, the advisor yields control back to the invoking skill.

If concerns remain unresolved, execution stays paused — no exceptions.

If the student needs extended self-study, hand off to .agent/skills/lg-learning-resources/SKILL.md with the specific topic, then .agent/skills/lg-resume-pipeline/SKILL.md to checkpoint progress.
