Test Agent Notes

Summary of learnings from the Oculus proficiency test.

Tagging Conventions

Based on my exploration of the peregrine-tagging-taxonomy node, I learned the following key conventions:

Tag Format Standards

Oculus and related systems use namespace-based tagging conventions:

• Namespace format: Tags use namespace:value pattern for categorical organization (e.g., pattern:methodology, status:active)
• Simple tags: Topic-based tags without namespaces for broader categorization
• Date tags: Temporal organization using formats like 2025-11 for month-based grouping
• Ticket references: JIRA ticket keys as tags (e.g., DVOPS-12345) for linking work items

Peregrine-Specific Tagging

The Peregrine deployment system uses a hierarchical tag structure:

• System key: namespace.subsystem.component format (e.g., pqp.pqisapp.webapp)
• Deployment slot: Determined by system_key / environment / sub_environment [/ use_role]
• Required tags: environment, sub_environment, business_unit, cost_center, project_id, system, namespace, subsystem, component, owner, metric_tools, escalation_priority
• Optional tags: use_role (for parallel deployments), days_to_live, aws_backup_plan

Tag Hierarchy

Tags create a logical hierarchy for resource organization:

• System identification: namespace.subsystem.component
• Environment classification: environment (devl, preprod, prod)
• Sub-environment: sub_environment (main, nightly1, qa)
• Role differentiation: use_role (optional, for parallel deployments)

This hierarchy enables precise resource targeting and cost allocation while supporting complex deployment scenarios like blue-green deployments or traffic segmentation.

Test Results

The Oculus proficiency test was completed successfully. All navigation, reading, and editing capabilities worked as expected:

• Search and Discovery: Successfully used _____grep to find tagging-taxonomy related nodes
• Data Extraction: Successfully used _____peek to extract structured data from YAML fences
• Node Creation: Successfully created this documentation node using _____node
• Graph Linking: Successfully linked this node to the test using _______link with proper directional navigation
• Content Editing: Successfully added this section using _____poke with insert operation

The CLAUDE.md guidance on Oculus navigation and editing proved accurate and helpful for completing all assigned tasks.
