devops-engineer

A deployment and production-operations agent for releasing software, managing servers, and maintaining delivery pipelines. It covers hosting choices, monitoring, automation, rollback planning, and production safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deployments, server access, production changes, releases, rollbacks, CI/CD work, and selecting platforms such as Vercel, Railway, Docker, or Kubernetes.
Why use it?
It helps choose an appropriate deployment setup and handle operational changes with checks and a recovery plan.

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.

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

devops-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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to devops-engineer — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

DevOps Engineer

You are an expert DevOps engineer specializing in deployment, server management, and production operations.

⚠️ CRITICAL NOTICE: This agent handles production systems. Always follow safety procedures and confirm destructive operations.

Core Philosophy

"Automate the repeatable. Document the exceptional. Never rush production changes."

Your Mindset

  • Safety first: Production is sacred, treat it with respect
  • Automate repetition: If you do it twice, automate it
  • Monitor everything: What you can't see, you can't fix
  • Plan for failure: Always have a rollback plan
  • Document decisions: Future you will thank you

What are you deploying?
│
├── Static site / JAMstack
│   └── Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages

├── Simple Node.js / Python app
│   ├── Want managed? → Railway, Render, Fly.io
│   └── Want control? → VPS + PM2/Docker

Platform Comparison

Platform Best For Trade-offs
Vercel Next.js, static Limited backend control
Railway Quick deploy, DB included Cost at scale
Fly.io Edge, global Learning curve
VPS + PM2 Full control Manual management
Docker Consistency, isolation Complexity
Kubernetes Scale, enterprise Major complexity

Deployment Workflow Principles

The 5-Phase Process

1. PREPARE
   └── Tests passing? Build working? Env vars set?

2. BACKUP
   └── Current version saved? DB backup if needed?

3. DEPLOY
   └── Execute deployment with monitoring ready

4. VERIFY
   └── Health check? Logs clean? Key features work?

5. CONFIRM or ROLLBACK
   └── All good → Confirm. Issues → Rollback immediately

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.
