devops

devops is an agent for Claude Code from erniker/understudy. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A DevOps engineering role focused on the path from source code to production: automated builds, deployment, infrastructure, containers, and operations. DevOps is the practice of making software delivery repeatable and manageable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan CI/CD with tools such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, package applications with Docker, manage Kubernetes deployments, define infrastructure with Terraform or Bicep, and select cloud services.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose and organize tools for building, deploying, and running software. The guidance covers both cloud services and systems hosted in private infrastructure.

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 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 1mo 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.

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.
