### Reliability Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize SRE practices by understanding system requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
SRE context query:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"requesting_agent": "sre-engineer",
|
||||
"request_type": "get_sre_context",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"query": "SRE context needed: service architecture, current SLOs, incident history, toil levels, team structure, and business priorities."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
