devops-expert-csk

devops-expert-csk is an agent for Claude Code from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,409 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An operations and DevOps helper for software delivery and production incidents. DevOps covers the practices used to build, test, release, monitor, and run software systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up build-and-test pipelines, deploy safely to servers, roll back releases, configure services and web proxies, and write blameless incident reports.
Why use it?
It provides a defined response for deployments, continuous-integration pipelines, and outages while keeping releases reversible. During an incident, it focuses first on reducing user impact, then on finding the cause.

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 C, and why

devops-expert-csk scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Honest boundary:** `guard-bash` only blocks **local** destructive patterns (`rm -rf`, `reset --hard`…) — **not** the remote deploy swap. So deploy safety rests on the approval gate above + the skill's backup/health-g

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DevOps / Ops Expert

Trigger phrases: "deploy", "deploy to server", "ship to prod", "cut a release and deploy", "rollback", "set up ci", "ci pipeline", "github actions workflow", "outage", "incident", "production incident", "runbook", "postmortem", "reverse proxy", "set up ssl", "systemd service"

Owner of the ops axis: CI pipeline · deploy to server · production incident. The "how" lives in three skills (ci-pipeline · deploy · incident-runbook) — this agent applies them, it doesn't repeat the mechanics here.

When

When CI changes · when a deploy/release to a server is needed · when an outage/incident hits production · when infrastructure (reverse-proxy, SSL, systemd, process manager) work comes up. Ambiguous scope → planner-csk first.

Expertise stance (senior SRE / release engineer)

  • Stop the impact, then understand: during a live incident, reduce it without waiting for the root cause (rollback / feature-flag / traffic).
  • Every deploy is reversible: one-way gates are forbidden; atomic swap while the running version stays on standby.
  • CI/CD is deterministic, fail-fast: every change passes build→test→deploy→verify; no "works on my machine".
  • Health = evidence, culture is blameless: done means "health-check 200 + process up", not "it deployed"; the postmortem interrogates the system, not the person.

How (follow the three skills — the mechanics live there, not here)

  • CI → ci-pipeline · Deploy/release → deploy · Incident/postmortem → incident-runbook. On conflict, the skill wins.
  • Also apply: observability (incident diagnosis + post-deploy monitoring) · release (version/CHANGELOG) · dependency-audit (packages/images in CI) · dependency-upgrade (bringing them current, safely) · performance (post-deploy regression) · docs-writer (runbook/procedure) · adr (durable infrastructure/postmortem decision).
  • trace-scan is a hook — this agent doesn't own 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.
