name: oci-deal-accelerator
description: Compresses the OCI Solutions Architect's cycle from customer discovery to architecture proposal and delivery handover. Aligned with Oracle ECAL framework (Define, Design, Deliver). Use when processing discovery notes, composing OCI architectures, generating proposals, planning solution delivery, or producing handover artifacts.

# OCI Deal Accelerator

This skill bundles a **pointer**, not the full methodology. The canonical guide is served live from the MCP server so updates propagate without requiring users to reinstall the plugin.

## Load the full methodology

Before using any tool, read this MCP resource:

```
skill://methodology
```

It contains the complete workflow (Define → Design → Deliver), welcome flow, tool selection rules, guardrails, SKU cookbooks, and the full ECAL-aligned playbook. The `skill://guardrails` resource is also available when context budget is tight.

Additional knowledge-base resources exposed by the same MCP server:

- `kb://services/index` — OCI services catalog
- `kb://patterns/index` — reference patterns
- `kb://well-architected/index` — WA review criteria
- `kb://competitive/index` — competitor comparisons
- `kb://field-knowledge/pricing` — pricing model, BYOL rules, free tiers

## Tool surface (14)

| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Architecture & design | `search_reference_architectures`, `generate_diagram`, `generate_deck`, `run_wa_review` |
| Costing & proposal | `generate_cost_estimate`, `generate_bom`, `generate_bom_appca`, `generate_business_case`, `generate_full_proposal` |
| Competitive & compatibility | `compare_competitive`, `check_feature_compatibility` |
| Field knowledge | `search_field_findings`, `report_field_finding`, `score_ecal_readiness` |

## Fallback behavior

If `skill://methodology` cannot be read (MCP unreachable, auth expired, etc.), fall back to: discover customer intent in natural language, select the most specific tool from the table above, and confirm assumptions with the user before generating artifacts. Never invent SKUs or services the user did not request.
