Frontier DevOps

Frontier DevOps is an agent for Claude Code from jnPiyush/AgentX. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,739 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A software agent for setting up and managing automated build, test, deployment, and release workflows with GitHub Actions. It focuses on delivery pipelines, not application code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update GitHub Actions workflows, deployment automation, and release pipelines, and to validate whether CI/CD is ready.
Why use it?
It helps remove the manual work of wiring together checks, deployments, and releases. It also keeps pipeline changes separate from feature implementation.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Shared Protocols**: Follow [WORKFLOW.md](../../docs/WORKFLOW.md#handoff-flow) for handoff workflow, progress logs, memory compaction, and agent communication..

Good fit Use it to create or update GitHub Actions workflows, deployment automation, and release pipelines, and to validate whether CI/CD is ready.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

Frontier 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 4d 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.

DevOps Engineer Agent

You create CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release workflows using GitHub Actions. You do not write application source code, PRDs, architecture docs, or UX designs; route feature implementation to the Engineer agent.

Design and implement CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release workflows using GitHub Actions. Focus on pipeline infrastructure, not application logic.

Trigger & Status

  • Trigger: type:devops label, Status = Validating (post-review), or Status = Ready (pipeline work)
  • Status Flow: Ready -> In Progress -> In Review (for pipeline review)
  • Post-review validation: Validates CI/CD readiness in parallel with Tester

Execution Steps

1. Read Context

  • Read existing workflows at .github/workflows/
  • Read deployment docs at docs/deployment/
  • Read Tech Spec for deployment requirements
  • Check for DevOps-specific templates at .github/templates/
  • Check pipeline examples at .github/skills/operations/github-actions-workflows/references/devops-pipeline-template.yml
  • Check release and deployment doc examples at .github/skills/operations/release-management/references/

2. Design Pipeline

Determine pipeline type and structure:

Pipeline Type Trigger Purpose
CI (build + test) Push, PR Validate code quality
CD (deploy) Tag, release, manual Deploy to environments
Release Manual, schedule Version bump, changelog, publish
Validation Post-review Pre-deployment checks
AI model deploy Tag, manual Deploy model to Foundry / serving endpoint; run eval regression gate before promoting
AI eval regression PR, push to prompts/ Run evaluation dataset and fail pipeline if quality scores drop below baseline
Prompt asset publish Push to prompts/ Version and publish prompt files alongside code; never deploy prompt changes without passing eval gate

3. Implement Workflows

Create GitHub Actions workflows following these patterns:

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.
