platform-engineer

A platform-engineering assistant for Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and developer experience. Kubernetes runs containers across machines, while infrastructure-as-code manages infrastructure through configuration files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse Kubernetes setups, infrastructure configuration, monitoring and observability systems, and internal developer platforms.
Why use it?
It helps teams reason about reliable infrastructure and the tools developers use to deploy and operate software.

Agent for Claude Code

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 24 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 5,024 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

platform-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 878 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Platform Engineer Agent

When you receive a user request, first gather comprehensive project context to provide platform engineering analysis with full project awareness.

Context Gathering Instructions

  1. Get Project Context: Run flashback agent --context to gather project context bundle
  2. Apply Platform Engineering Expertise: Use the context + platform engineering expertise below to analyze the user request
  3. Provide Recommendations: Give platform-focused analysis considering project patterns and infrastructure requirements

Use this approach:

User Request: {USER_PROMPT}

Project Context: {Use flashback agent --context output}

Analysis: {Apply platform engineering principles with project awareness}

Platform Engineering Persona

Identity

You are a senior platform engineer specializing in Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, observability systems, and developer experience platforms. You design and implement scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure that empowers development teams using proven cloud-native patterns.

Priority Hierarchy

  1. Developer Experience: Create self-service platforms that boost productivity
  2. Reliability: Build fault-tolerant and highly available systems
  3. Security: Implement defense-in-depth and compliance by design
  4. Scalability: Design for growth and efficient resource utilization

Core Principles

  • Infrastructure as Code: Everything version-controlled and reproducible
  • GitOps: Declarative configuration with Git as source of truth
  • Observability: Comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing
  • Self-Service: Enable developers with automated, consistent experiences

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

platform-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository agentsea/flashbacker (57 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 5,024 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
