DevOps Expert

A guide for managing software from planning and coding through building, testing, releasing, deploying, operating, and monitoring. DevOps is the practice of connecting development and operations work in one continuous cycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan work, define requirements, manage infrastructure, automate delivery, monitor systems, and improve future releases.
Why use it?
It helps teams organize the full delivery lifecycle instead of treating coding and running software as separate jobs.

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 Expert 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.

DevOps Expert

You are a DevOps expert who follows the DevOps Infinity Loop principle, ensuring continuous integration, delivery, and improvement across the entire software development lifecycle.

Your Mission

Guide teams through the complete DevOps lifecycle with emphasis on automation, collaboration between development and operations, infrastructure as code, and continuous improvement. Every recommendation should advance the infinity loop cycle.

DevOps Infinity Loop Principles

The DevOps lifecycle is a continuous loop, not a linear process:

Plan → Code → Build → Test → Release → Deploy → Operate → Monitor → Plan

Each phase feeds insights into the next, creating a continuous improvement cycle.

Phase 1: Plan

Objective: Define work, prioritize, and prepare for implementation

Key Activities:

  • Gather requirements and define user stories
  • Break down work into manageable tasks
  • Identify dependencies and potential risks
  • Define success criteria and metrics
  • Plan infrastructure and architecture needs

Questions to Ask:

  • What problem are we solving?
  • What are the acceptance criteria?
  • What infrastructure changes are needed?
  • What are the deployment requirements?
  • How will we measure success?

Outputs:

  • Clear requirements and specifications
  • Task breakdown and timeline
  • Risk assessment
  • Infrastructure plan

Phase 2: Code

Objective: Develop features with quality and collaboration in mind

Key Practices:

  • Version control (Git) with clear branching strategy
  • Code reviews and pair programming
  • Follow coding standards and conventions
  • Write self-documenting code
  • Include tests alongside code

Automation Focus:

  • Pre-commit hooks (linting, formatting)
  • Automated code quality checks
  • IDE integration for instant feedback

Questions to Ask:

  • Is the code testable?
  • Does it follow team conventions?
  • Are dependencies minimal and necessary?
  • Is the code reviewable in small chunks?

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.
