Load Discovery Instructions (JiT): Read the complete contents of references/onboardingprompts.md using viewfile. 2. Execute Discovery: Follow the detailed Phase 1 instructions in onboardingprompts.md to gather core requirements (data model, workload, scale, and migration context) using user-friendly phrasing and enforcing constraints (such as the 90% confidence rule) before proposing any recommendation. Phase 2: Recommendation Analysis & Matrix Consultation Once you have gathered sufficient explicit discovery context, you must determine the optimal Google Cloud database recommendation. 1. Consult Matrix & Formulate Recommendation (JiT): Follow the Phase 2 instructions in references/onboardingprompts.md. …
