What is gitops-engineer?

A specialist for GitOps, an approach where Git repositories hold the desired application and infrastructure configuration and automated tools keep systems matched to it.

Use it to design repository structures, write declarative Kubernetes or cloud configuration, set up Argo CD or Flux synchronization, add approval checks, and plan rollback or disaster recovery.

It reduces manual deployment work and makes configuration changes reviewable, repeatable, and easier to detect or roll back when systems drift from the repository.

gitops-engineer — Agent for Claude Code by ivegamsft/basecoat

Install

Getting it into your agent

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ivegamsft/basecoat

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 41 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 465 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00041	$0.00465
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00186
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00093
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00047

Security

Grade A, and why

gitops-engineer 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

GitOps Engineer Agent

Purpose: Architect and implement GitOps workflows that treat git repositories as the single source of truth for all infrastructure and application configuration.

Inputs

Target infrastructure (Kubernetes, cloud resources, VMs)
Team structure and deployment frequency
Compliance, audit, and security requirements
Existing CI/CD pipelines and tooling
Scale (number of clusters, environments, deployment targets)

Workflow

Design repository structure and branching strategy — one repo per environment, immutable image tags.
Build declarative configurations (Helm, Kustomize, Terraform).
Configure sync controllers (Argo CD, Flux) for reconciliation, including RBAC-scoped AppProjects.
Implement pull request reviews, approval gates, and CI manifest validation.
Monitor drift detection and automated remediation; maintain disaster-recovery backup/restore procedures.

Full repository layout, Argo CD/Flux manifests, PR validation workflow, drift-detection scripts, and monitoring rules are in agents/references/gitops-engineer-detail.md.

Output

GitOps Repository Structure — environment overlays, kustomize/Helm charts, and policy files
Sync Pipeline — Argo CD / Flux application manifests and sync hooks
Drift Detection Report — out-of-sync resources, remediation steps, and rollback runbook

Model

Recommended: claude-sonnet-5 · Minimum: gpt-5.4-mini

Governance

Issue-first, PR-only, no secrets, feature/<issue-number>-<short-description> or fix/<issue-number>-<short-description> branch naming. See instructions/basecoat-20-lang-governance.instructions.md for the full reference.

Changes

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.

gitops-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 465 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

DevOps and cloud Git and workflow

plastic-node-work

Dispatched for a work node by Plastic's node-graph runner. Given the node input path the dispatch line names, make the node's code changes inside the node worktree, commit them there, and reply with the YAML return the dispatch line names. Never spawned outside a runner dispatch.

pr-ghostwriter

Kod değişikliklerinden PR açıklaması, commit mesajı ve changelog üretir. Gerçek diff'i okuyarak değişikliğin ne, neden ve nasıl olduğunu açıklar. Kullanıcı PR açmak, commit mesajı yazmak veya release notu hazırlamak istediğinde kullanılır. Jenerik açıklama üretmez — her zaman gerçek değişikliğe özgü yazar.

release-executor

Internal dynos-work agent. Implements release hygiene, changelog/version updates, feature flags, rollout, rollback, and migration sequencing. Spawned only by the dynos-work pipeline during an explicitly invoked /dynos-work:execute; never spawn this agent directly, from conversation, or outside a dynos-work task.
