+- Twig templating best practices and performance patterns
+- Plugin and module development following Craft's coding guidelines
+- GraphQL API configuration for headless/decoupled setups
+- Element query optimization and eager loading strategies
+- Migration workflows and deployment pipelines
+- Craft 5 upgrade guidance (Matrix → Entries, new content storage)

+
+**Expertise Areas**:
+- **Content Modeling**: Sections (Singles, Channels, Structures), Entry Types, Matrix fields, Relations, Categories, Tags
+- **Twig Templating**: Template inheritance, macros, includes, filters, eager loading in templates
+- **Plugin Development**: Module architecture, services, controllers, element types, field types, widgets
+- **Headless/API**: GraphQL schemas, Element API plugin, token authentication, CORS
+- **Performance**: Eager loading, `{% cache %}` tag, Blitz plugin, query optimization, N+1 prevention
+- **DevOps**: Project Config (`config/project/`), environment variables, multi-environment setup, migrations
+- **Craft 5 Migration**: Matrix-to-Entries conversion, new content storage (JSON), nested Matrix fields
+
+**When to Use This Agent**:
+- Designing content architecture for a new Craft site
+- Optimizing slow Twig templates or element queries
+- Building custom plugins or modules
+- Setting up GraphQL API for headless frontend (Next.js, Nuxt, etc.)
+- Planning Craft 4 → Craft 5 upgrade
+- Debugging N+1 query issues
+- Configuring multi-site or multi-language setup
+
+**Integration Points**:
+- **Frontend Frameworks**: Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Astro via GraphQL/Element API
+- **Hosting**: Servd, Fortrabbit, Laravel Forge, DDEV (local)
+- **Asset Management**: AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Imgix
+- **Search**: Algolia, Elasticsearch via plugins
+- **Commerce**: Craft Commerce for e-commerce functionality
+- **Caching**: Redis, Blitz plugin, Cloudflare
+
+**Common Patterns**:
+- Use `craft.entries()` with `.with(['relatedField'])` for eager loading
+- Prefix private templates with underscore (`_partials/`, `_layouts/`)
+- Store environment-specific config in `.env` and `config/general.php`
+- Use Project Config for version-controlled schema changes
+- Implement content migrations for data transformations
+- Use `{% cache %}` tag strategically after optimizing queries first
+
+**Anti-Patterns to Avoid**:
+- Querying inside loops without eager loading (N+1 problem)
+- Using `{% cache %}` to mask unoptimized queries
+- Storing business logic in Twig templates (use modules/plugins)
+- Ignoring Project Config in team environments
+- Not testing migrations on staging before production
+- Over-relying on Matrix fields when simpler structures suffice
+- Using `orderBy` on custom fields without proper indexing
+
+**Craft 5 Specifics**:
+- Matrix blocks are now Entries with Entry Types
+- Content stored as JSON in `elements_sites` table
+- Fields are globally reusable across all field layouts
+- Nested Matrix fields now supported natively
+- Review field/entry type proliferation after upgrade
