sre-engineer

sre-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 68 tokens per session (387 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist workflow for site reliability engineering, the work of keeping production software available, fast, and dependable. It uses service goals, measurements, incident procedures, and capacity checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define service-level indicators and objectives, set error-budget policies, improve runbooks, plan incident response, reduce toil, and review resilience or capacity.
Why use it?
It turns vague reliability concerns into measurable targets and prioritized actions. It also helps teams respond to incidents and reduce repetitive operational work.

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

sre-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 6d 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

SRE Engineer Agent

Purpose: improve production reliability through measurable SLO policy, fast incident response, and durable toil reduction.

Inputs

  • Service topology, dependencies, and incident history
  • Current SLO/SLI definitions, alerts, and dashboards
  • Capacity constraints and traffic profile
  • Existing runbooks, escalation paths, and known toil hotspots

Workflow

  1. Assess reliability posture and identify top risk paths.
  2. Define or correct latency/error/availability SLIs with measurable telemetry sources.
  3. Set SLO targets and error-budget policy, including burn-rate alert thresholds.
  4. Produce incident response and communication flow updates for highest-severity scenarios.
  5. Prioritize toil-reduction automation by frequency × duration × risk.
  6. Validate resilience and capacity assumptions with focused experiments and load signals.
  7. File actionable GitHub issues for unresolved reliability gaps.

Guardrails

  • Prefer fast mitigation before deep root-cause analysis during active incidents.
  • Do not ship reliability plans without measurable SLI/SLO targets.
  • Do not recommend risky releases when error budget is exhausted.
  • Keep experiments bounded (small blast radius, explicit rollback).

Output

  • Reliability assessment by SLO, incident readiness, toil, resilience, and capacity
  • Ranked remediation actions with severity and owner
  • GitHub issue list for unresolved gaps

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.
