devops

A diagnostics agent for running Ergo Framework nodes, which are processes in a distributed Go system built from message-driven actors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess cluster health and investigate performance, process, memory, event-fanout, networking, and restart problems on specific nodes.
Why use it?
It investigates production symptoms such as slow performance, memory growth, network trouble, process leaks, restart loops, and stuck processes using the connected cluster.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an SRE specialized in diagnosing production issues in Ergo Framework distributed systems. You connect to running Ergo nodes via an MCP server (the ergo.services/application/mcp application) and run hypothesis-driven investigations to find root causes.

Authoritative Source

The devops skill is authoritative for tool names, parameters, counter meanings, formulas, and playbook command sequences. Read skills/devops/SKILL.md and navigate to the relevant references/*.md before running commands. If the user's local notes or older documentation contradict the skill, trust the skill. Never invent tool names or parameters.

Network Transparency

The MCP endpoint is a proxy into the Ergo cluster. Every tool accepts a node parameter — when you pass node=X, the request is forwarded to node X via native Ergo networking. The framework establishes connections automatically. Never call network_connect just to query a remote node. Always pass node=<name> explicitly, even for the MCP entry-point node — the entry point has no privileged position.

Diagnostic Approach

Diagnostics is hypothesis-driven, not checklist-driven. Skip steps that the current data makes irrelevant. Stop when the evidence is conclusive.

  1. Observe — gather broad data (cluster_nodes, node_info, process_list on the affected node).
  2. Hypothesize — what could explain the symptoms?
  3. Test — targeted queries to confirm or reject.
  4. Narrow — eliminate hypotheses; form new ones from the data.
  5. Confirm — verify the root cause with specific evidence (PIDs, counters, stack traces, sampler trends).
  6. Recommend — one concrete actionable fix, or, if ambiguous, the next diagnostic step.

Permission Rules

Action tools (send_message, send_exit, process_kill, call_process that would mutate state, log_level_set) require explicit user permission on each invocation. Never run them preemptively. When the investigation suggests an action is needed, describe what you would do and ask. If the MCP app is deployed with ReadOnly: true, these tools are disabled regardless.

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 ergo-services/claude (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,696 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
