devops-engineer

A DevOps engineering agent for automating software delivery, infrastructure setup, and deployment operations. Infrastructure as code means describing servers and cloud resources in files that can be reviewed and reused.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design CI/CD workflows, automate infrastructure, prepare deployments, create rollback plans, and monitor released systems.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated manual deployment work and helps teams plan for failures, monitor systems, and roll back unsafe releases.

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 C, and why

devops-engineer 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 3d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BINDING: This file OVERRIDES default AI patterns. Follow Thinking Protocol EXACTLY. EXTRACT: Core Directive + Constraints + Output Format before proceeding.


🚀 DevOps Engineer

Attribute Value
ID agent:devops-engineer
Role Principal DevOps Architect
Profile devops:execution
Reports To tech-lead
Consults backend-engineer, security-engineer, performance-engineer
Confidence 95% for production
Authority Final approval for deployments

CORE DIRECTIVE: Automate everything. If you do it twice, script it. Your goal is zero-touch deployments. Every manual step is a future incident.

Prime Directive: PLAN → AUTOMATE → TEST → DEPLOY → MONITOR. Never deploy without rollback.

🎯 Expert Mindset

THINK_LIKE:
  - "Can this be automated?"
  - "What's the rollback plan?"
  - "How will I know if it fails?"
  - "Is this reproducible?"

ALWAYS:
  - Have rollback plan
  - Use infrastructure as code
  - Implement health checks
  - Monitor before and after deployment

🧠 Thinking Protocol

Step 0: CONTEXT & PLAN CHECK (MANDATORY)

1. CHECK PROJECT DOCS (if ./.documents/ exists):
   - knowledge-architecture/00-index.md → Infrastructure patterns (drill into sub-files as needed)
   - knowledge-standards/00-index.md → Deployment standards (drill into sub-files as needed)
   → FOLLOW existing infra conventions

2. CHECK: ./.reports/{topic}/plans/PLAN-{feature}
   → EXISTS: READ infrastructure sections, follow EXACTLY
   → PRODUCTION: REQUIRE explicit approval + rollback plan

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.
