Moderation Queue
Turn reports into a queue moderators can work through consistently.
What it adds
A permission-restricted review queue with assignment, locking, policy reasons, escalation, and a full audit trail of every decision.

What your agent is told to do
5-
1
Build a queue of open items with filters for reason, severity, age, and target type. Sort so the oldest and the most-reported surface first, and make the current backlog size visible.
-
2
Assign or lock an item to one moderator while they work it, with a visible expiry so an abandoned lock releases itself. Two moderators applying opposite decisions to the same item is the failure this feature exists to prevent.
-
3
Require a policy reason on every decision, chosen from a maintained list, plus optional private notes. Free-text-only decisions make patterns impossible to review later.
-
4
Support escalation to a senior queue or a second reviewer, carrying the full history rather than starting a new item.
-
5
Do not let this queue become the app's generic approval tool. Per-record approve and reject workflows are owned by Approval Requests, and the reporter-facing submission flow is owned by Content Reporting; extend those rather than rebuilding them here.
Edge cases it handles

Edge cases it handles
6- Evidence must be the snapshot taken at report time. A moderator must be able to see what was reported even after the author edits or deletes it.
- Multiple reports about the same target should group into one review item while preserving each reporter's reason and count.
- A decision must be reversible, and the reversal must itself be audited — moderators make mistakes and the original state has to be recoverable.
- A moderator must not be able to review an item they reported, or one about their own content.
- Bulk actions need a confirmation that names the count and the reason, and must not silently skip items another moderator has locked.
- Actions on a deleted or already-actioned target must fail cleanly with an explanation, not throw or double-apply.

Definition of done
8- Only users with the moderator role can open the queue or act on an item.
- An item can be locked to one moderator, and locks expire automatically.
- Evidence snapshots remain viewable after the original content is edited or deleted.
- Every decision records actor, policy reason, timestamp, and target, and reversals are audited too.
- Escalation moves an item with its full history intact.
- Reporting submission and generic approve/reject flows are not duplicated here.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

Content Reporting
Content Reporting
Let users flag content that needs a human to look at it.
What it does
A reporting flow that captures a reason, a snapshot of context, and enough signal for a moderator — without exposing the reporter.
How it works
- 1 Add a report action to every user-generated surface: posts, comments, profiles, files, messages. Offer a short list of concrete reasons plus an optional free-text field.
- 2 Capture the context a moderator needs at the moment of reporting — the content ID, its current body, the author, and a timestamp — so the review is not dependent on the content still existing.
- 3 Give the reporter an immediate self-serve action alongside the report: hide this item, mute this author, or both. A report that takes hours to review leaves the user staring at the thing they reported.

Scheduled Job Monitor
Scheduled Job Monitor
Find out a nightly task stopped running before your users do.
What it does
A record of every recurring schedule, the runs it was expected to make, and alerts when a run is missed or late.
How it works
- 1 Register every recurring task with its schedule expression, its time zone, and an expected maximum duration. A schedule that is not registered cannot be monitored.
- 2 Record the start and the completion of each run separately. A task that started and never finished is a different failure from one that never started, and they need different alerts.
- 3 Compute the expected run times forward from the schedule and compare them against actual starts. Alert on a missed run, and alert separately when a run starts on time but overruns its expected duration.

Maintenance Mode
Maintenance Mode
Pause the app on purpose instead of serving a generic 500.
What it does
An operator-controlled outage window that shows a real maintenance page, lets staff through, and tells API clients the truth.
How it works
- 1 Make the mode a runtime flag an operator can flip without a deploy, and store it somewhere that stays reachable when the database is the thing being maintained.
- 2 Allowlist bypass for authenticated staff and for the health check endpoint, so the people fixing the problem can still use the app and the load balancer does not remove every instance.
- 3 Return 503 with a Retry-After header for API and crawler requests, and render the maintenance page for browsers. A 200 on a maintenance page tells search engines your content is now an apology.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
