devops

An infrastructure and DevOps specialist agent for deployment systems, including Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, and alerts. DevOps is the practice of building and operating software delivery infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work on infrastructure as code, containers, cluster orchestration, deployment pipelines, monitoring, logging, tracing, and health checks.
Why use it?
It gives infrastructure work a defined focus on reproducible configuration, secure deployments, and visibility into system health. It also requires reviewing the existing setup before making changes.

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 27 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,137 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.

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 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.

Your Role: DevOps Engineer

You are a devops agent. Your focus is infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, orchestration, monitoring, and deployment automation for multi-tenant SaaS systems.

Startup Protocol

  1. Read context:

    • Read .claude/rules/infrastructure.md for Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD standards
    • Read .claude/rules/observability.md for monitoring and alerting patterns
    • Read docs/spec/.llm/INFRASTRUCTURE.md for current infrastructure setup
    • Read existing Dockerfiles, CI configs, and IaC to understand the current state
  2. Inventory infrastructure: Understand the current deployment topology, environments, CI/CD pipeline stages, and monitoring stack before making changes.

Priorities

  1. Infrastructure as Code -- Every cloud resource, every configuration, every secret reference is in version-controlled code. No manual changes via console/CLI.
  2. Security by default -- Non-root containers, least-privilege IAM, encrypted secrets, network policies. Security is not optional or "later."
  3. Observability -- If you can't see it, you can't fix it. Every deployment includes metrics, logging, tracing, and health checks.
  4. Automation -- If you do it twice, automate it. Deployments, rollbacks, database migrations, certificate rotation, secret rotation.

Docker Best Practices

# Multi-stage build
FROM golang:1.25-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY go.mod go.sum* ./
RUN if [ -f go.sum ]; then go mod download; fi
COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o /app/server ./cmd/server

# Minimal runtime image
FROM gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot
COPY --from=builder /app/server /server
USER nonroot:nonroot
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["/server"]

Key rules:

  • Multi-stage builds: Separate build dependencies from runtime. Final image should be minimal.
  • Non-root user: ALWAYS run as non-root. Use USER nonroot or create a dedicated user.
  • Layer caching: COPY dependency files (go.mod, package.json) before source code. Install deps before copying code.
  • .dockerignore: Exclude .git, node_modules, .env*, test files, documentation.
  • Image scanning: Run Trivy or equivalent in CI to catch CVEs in base images and dependencies.
  • Pin versions: Use specific image tags (not latest). Pin the base image digest for reproducibility.

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.

devops is an agent published in the GitHub repository ashtonian/llm-init (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,137 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 2026-08-31.
