Oracle Solution Design Orchestrator

Method: 5-phase workflow with parallel research + quality gates at each phase Confidentiality: Conversation-only context model. Zero persistent state with client details.

When to Use

Invoke when you need:

• A complete solution design for a customer engagement
• A Solution Design Document (SDD) for an OCI-based solution
• An architecture recommendation with BOM and visuals
• A prototype or interactive demo for a customer presentation

Trigger: /workflow 50-solution-design or when user says "solution design", "SDD", "architecture for [codename]"

The 5-Phase Workflow

  DISCOVER --> ARCHITECT --> VISUALIZE --> PROTOTYPE --> DELIVER
     |             |             |              |            |
  [Gate 1]     [Gate 2]     [Gate 3]       [Gate 4]    [Gate 5]

Phase Summary

Phase	Mode	Key Output
DISCOVER	Research + requirements	DISCOVERY.md
ARCHITECT	Service selection + BOM + security	SOLUTION-DESIGN.md sections 4-6
VISUALIZE	Architecture diagrams	4 images in deliverables/images/
PROTOTYPE	Interactive HTML demo	deliverables/html/index.html
DELIVER	Package + confidentiality audit	Complete client folder

Phase 1: DISCOVER

Checklist Before Starting

1. READ client README.md for existing context
2. CHECK OCI AI Blueprints decision tree (see oracle-standards.md)
3. VERIFY data residency and compliance constraints

Discovery Document

Create clients/[CODE]/deliverables/docs/DISCOVERY.md:

# Discovery: [Solution Name]
## Codename: [CODE] | Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]

## Business Context
- Problem: [What pain exists today?]
- Current State: [What tools/processes in use?]
- Success Criteria: [What does good look like?]

## Top Use Cases
| # | Use Case | Priority | Data Sources | Expected Output |
|---|----------|----------|-------------|-----------------|

## Constraints
| Constraint | Value | Impact |
|-----------|-------|--------|
| Compliance | [GDPR/HIPAA/SOC2/None] | |
| Data Residency | [EU/US/Any] | |
| Timeline | [Weeks] | |
| Budget | [Range or TBD] | |

Quality Gate 1

• Top 3 use cases documented with priorities
• OCI services mapped to each use case
• Constraints captured (compliance, residency, timeline, budget)
• OCI AI Blueprints decision tree consulted
• GenAI model selection justified if applicable
• No real customer names in ANY file

Phase 2: ARCHITECT

Service Selection Table

Service	Purpose	Why	Alternative	Docs

Architecture Tiers (MANDATORY)

Aspect	Basic	Advanced	Premium
Users	< 50	50-500	500+
AI Models	OCI GenAI shared	OCI GenAI dedicated	DAC + fine-tuned
Monthly Est.	$X,XXX	$XX,XXX	$XXX,XXX

Pricing (MANDATORY)

• Verify ALL prices at: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/price-list/
• Include verification date in BOM

Security Architecture

• IAM: Compartment isolation, dynamic groups, federated identity
• Encryption: TDE + OCI Vault, TLS 1.3
• Network: Private subnets, Service Gateway, NSGs, WAF

Quality Gate 2

• Every OCI service verified against docs.oracle.com
• Pricing verified at oracle.com/cloud/price-list/ with date
• No blanket "X times cheaper" claims
• AI Blueprints decision tree consulted
• Security architecture documented
• 3 tiers defined (Basic / Advanced / Premium)

Phase 3: VISUALIZE

Required Visual Set

#	Image	Audience	File
1	Master Architecture	Technical + Executive	architecture.png
2	User Journey	Executive	user-journey.png
3	Data Flow	Technical	data-flow.png
4	Tier Comparison	Commercial	tier-comparison.png

Visual Rules (Non-Negotiable)

• NO Oracle logos — text labels only ("Oracle Cloud", "OCI GenAI")
• Oracle Red (#C74634) for accents
• Dark background (#1A1A2E or similar)
• 2026 branding: "Oracle AI Database 26ai" not "23ai"
• Minimum 1920x1080 resolution

Quality Gate 3

• ZERO Oracle logos (visual inspection)
• Service names correct (26ai, not 23ai)
• Readable at presentation size
• Architecture matches SOLUTION-DESIGN.md
• 4 images generated

Phase 4: PROTOTYPE

HTML Deliverable Standard

Single HTML file. All CDN dependencies PINNED to specific versions:

<!-- PINNED VERSIONS — NEVER use @latest for deliverables -->
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/lucide@0.563.0/dist/umd/lucide.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com/3.4.17"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@10/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>

Tailwind config colors:

tailwind.config = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        oracle: { red: '#C74634', 'red-dark': '#A33B2C' }
      }
    }
  }
}

Always include: <div class="proto-banner">PROTOTYPE — For Demonstration Purposes Only</div>

Quality Gate 4

• Core interaction works end-to-end
• No broken buttons or dead links
• PROTOTYPE banner displayed
• No real customer data
• Opens standalone in browser
• ALL CDN URLs pinned (zero @latest)
• Tailwind v3.4.17, Lucide v0.563.0, Mermaid v10

Quality Gate 5

• All files in correct folder structure
• README has codename only
• Images are logo-free
• Prototype opens standalone
• BOM prices verified with dates
• Confidentiality audit PASSED (/workflow 60-confidentiality-audit)

Anti-Patterns

Don't	Do Instead
Skip discovery	Validate requirements first
Use memorized pricing	Verify at oracle.com/cloud/price-list/
Include Oracle logos in images	Text labels, Oracle Red accents
Use @latest for CDN	Pin: Tailwind 3.4.17, Lucide 0.563.0
Deliver without confidentiality audit	Run /60-confidentiality-audit first
