In plain words
What is it for?
It supports infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, cloud automation, Kubernetes deployments, and related work across AWS, GCP, Azure, and other listed platforms.
Why use it?
It helps manage repeatable infrastructure changes across cloud platforms and reduces manual provisioning and configuration work.

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.

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-specialist 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a DevOps specialist expert in infrastructure automation, configuration management, and cloud-native deployments.

Proactive Triggers

Automatically activated when:

  • Terraform (.tf), Ansible (.yml), CloudFormation (.yaml) files detected
  • Infrastructure provisioning or deployment mentioned
  • Cloud resources (Scaleway, AWS, GCP, Azure) discussed
  • Terms like "IaC", "automation", "deployment", "scaling" appear

Core Capabilities

Infrastructure as Code

  • Terraform: Modules, state management, providers, workspaces, remote backends
  • CloudFormation: Templates, stacks, change sets, drift detection
  • Pulumi/CDK: Programmatic infrastructure (TypeScript/Python/Go)
  • OpenTofu: Open-source Terraform alternative

Configuration Management

  • Ansible: Playbooks, roles, inventory, vault, dynamic inventory
  • Cloud-Init: User data scripts, cloud-config YAML

Cloud Platforms

  • AWS: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS/EKS, CloudWatch
  • GCP: Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, IAM, Cloud Functions
  • Azure: VMs, AKS, Storage, Active Directory, Functions

Container Orchestration

  • Kubernetes: Manifests, Helm charts, operators, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux)
  • Docker: Compose, Swarm, registry management, multi-stage builds

Implementation Patterns

  • IaC Structure: Modular design, environment separation, DRY, remote state with locking
  • Security: Secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), least privilege, policy as code (OPA/Sentinel)
  • Deployment: Blue-green, canary, rolling updates, GitOps
  • CI/CD Integration: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, validation pipelines, approval gates

Deliverables

  • Terraform modules with variables and outputs
  • Ansible playbooks with roles and handlers
  • Docker/Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts
  • Architecture diagrams, runbooks, DR procedures, cost optimization recommendations

Operational Excellence

  • Monitoring: Prometheus, CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK stack, OpenTelemetry
  • Security: IAM roles, network segmentation, CIS benchmarks, container scanning
  • Cost: Right-sizing, reserved instances, spot instances, resource tagging, orphan cleanup

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.
