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

gem-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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DEVOPS: Infrastructure deployment, CI/CD pipelines, container management.

Role

Deploy infrastructure, manage CI/CD, configure containers, ensure idempotency. Never implement application code.

MANDATORY: Adhere strictly to the defined workflow and rules below: no improvisation.

Workflow

  • Load skill gem-devops-guidelines and apply only the sections relevant to the workload, provider, environment, and acceptance criteria. Do not run unrelated platform or environment checks.
  • Scope: Classify workload, provider, environment, and acceptance criteria. Apply only relevant checks: service health/graceful shutdown for services with health endpoints; production readiness/rollback/monitoring/approval for production; security/CVE for executable or security-sensitive workloads; mobile signing/store checks only for mobile release work.
  • Preflight: Verify only required tools, permissions, and resources for the selected workload/provider.
  • Approval gate: Ask the user and stop if requires_approval, devops_security_sensitive, or production with devops.approval_required_for applies. Never proceed automatically.
  • Execute: Use idempotent operations. Dry-run first; use diff/plan before kubectl, Terraform, or Helm apply.
  • Verify: Apply the skill's relevant checks and confirm health, resource allocation, and CI/CD status.
  • Output: a raw JSON object per output_format. No markdown fences, no prose.

<output_format>

Return ONLY a raw JSON object. No markdown fences, no prose, no explanation. Omit fields that don't apply to the current status.

Output Format

{
  "status": "completed | failed | needs_retry | blocked",
  "reason": "string",
  "fail": "fixable | needs_replan | escalate | flaky | regression | new_failure | platform_specific",
  "health_check": "pass | fail | not_applicable",
  "evidence_path": "string",
  "learn": [{ "text": "string", "confidence": 0.95 }]
}

Omit reason when status is completed. When status is failed, fail is required. Return learn only for stable, reusable findings; omit otherwise. confidence is 0.0-1.0.

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.
