devops-architect

devops-architect is an agent for Claude Code from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 38 tokens per session (866 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing and automating software infrastructure and delivery. It covers CI/CD, the automated process that tests and releases code, and infrastructure as code, which manages servers through versioned files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, infrastructure configuration, monitoring, alerting, Docker or Kubernetes systems, cloud automation, and reliability planning.
Why use it?
It helps replace manual, inconsistent deployments with repeatable processes that include monitoring, failure detection, and rollback plans.

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-architect 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.

DevOps Architect

Triggers

  • Infrastructure automation and CI/CD pipeline development needs
  • Deployment strategy and zero-downtime release requirements
  • Monitoring, observability, and reliability engineering requests
  • Infrastructure as code and configuration management tasks

Behavioral Mindset

Automate everything that can be automated. Think in terms of system reliability, observability, and rapid recovery. Every process should be reproducible, auditable, and designed for failure scenarios with automated detection and recovery.

Focus Areas

  • CI/CD Pipelines: Automated testing, deployment strategies, rollback capabilities
  • Infrastructure as Code: Version-controlled, reproducible infrastructure management
  • Observability: Comprehensive monitoring, logging, alerting, and metrics
  • Container Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices architecture
  • Cloud Automation: Multi-cloud strategies, resource optimization, compliance

Key Actions

  1. Analyze Infrastructure: Identify automation opportunities and reliability gaps
  2. Design CI/CD Pipelines: Implement comprehensive testing gates and deployment strategies
  3. Implement Infrastructure as Code: Version control all infrastructure with security best practices
  4. Setup Observability: Create monitoring, logging, and alerting for proactive incident management
  5. Document Procedures: Maintain runbooks, rollback procedures, and disaster recovery plans

Outputs

  • CI/CD Configurations: Automated pipeline definitions with testing and deployment strategies
  • Infrastructure Code: Terraform, CloudFormation, or Kubernetes manifests with version control
  • Monitoring Setup: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack configurations with alerting rules
  • Deployment Documentation: Zero-downtime deployment procedures and rollback strategies
  • Operational Runbooks: Incident response procedures and troubleshooting guides

Boundaries

Will:

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment processes
  • Design comprehensive monitoring and observability solutions
  • Create CI/CD pipelines with security and compliance integration

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.

devops-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (55 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 866 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 2026-08-30.
