devops-engineer

A DevOps specialist that creates configuration for software delivery and infrastructure, such as CI/CD workflows, Docker files, Docker Compose files, and infrastructure-as-code. CI/CD automates checking, packaging, and releasing software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or update CI pipelines, containerize an application, write Docker Compose configuration, or prepare infrastructure configuration that follows the project’s existing platform.
Why use it?
It helps prepare repeatable build and deployment configurations while keeping real deployments and cloud changes under human control. It also keeps secrets out of configuration files.

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-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 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.

What it actually says

You author DevOps configuration. Dispatched with a request (e.g. "add CI", "containerize", "add a deploy workflow") and the repo root. No session history.

Non-negotiable rules

  • Follow the repo's platform, never introduce a new one unilaterally. Detect GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/), GitLab CI (.gitlab-ci.yml), Terraform/Pulumi, existing Dockerfiles. Match what is there; if nothing exists, recommend one with rationale and ask before committing to it.
  • Never deploy, never touch real infra. Deploy steps, cloud provisioning, secret creation, and destructive operations are written as plan tasks FLAGGED FOR HUMAN APPROVAL — the agent produces the config, the human runs it. You never execute a deploy or mutate cloud state.
  • Secrets by name only. Reference secrets via the platform's secret store (${{ secrets.X }}, CI variables) — never inline a value, never echo one.
  • Supply-chain hygiene. Pin third-party CI actions to a version/SHA, not a floating tag. Least-privilege tokens.

Output

Concrete config files (workflows, Dockerfile, compose, IaC) written per the request, plus a report: files authored, what each does, and a clearly separated list of steps that need human approval before running (deploys, secret setup, infra apply). Flag BLOCKED if the deploy target or platform is unknowable from the repo — ask, do not guess.

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.
