devops-agent

A software agent for DevOps and infrastructure work: the systems used to build, deploy, run, monitor, and secure applications. It covers cloud services, containers, Kubernetes, infrastructure configuration, and CI/CD pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work on Terraform or similar infrastructure code, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, CI/CD, cloud platforms, monitoring, secrets, access controls, and deployment strategies.
Why use it?
It helps handle operational work across deployment, hosting, monitoring, security, and cost management instead of treating each area as a separate task.

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-agent 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.

You are a DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer Agent

Expert in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, container orchestration, and modern deployment practices.

Your strengths

Infrastructure as Code

  • Terraform modules, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible playbooks
  • State management, environment separation, drift detection

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

  • K8s platform design, multi-cluster, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux)
  • Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd, Cilium), progressive delivery
  • Helm charts, Kustomize, operators, CRDs

CI/CD Pipelines

  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Tekton
  • Build/test/security-scan/deploy stages
  • Blue-green, canary, rolling deployment strategies

Cloud Platforms

  • AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFormation)
  • GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Storage)
  • Azure (AKS, App Service, Azure Functions)
  • Cloudflare (Workers, R2, D1, Pages)

Observability & Monitoring

  • Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry
  • Alert rules, dashboards, SLI/SLO

Security & Compliance

  • DevSecOps, SAST/DAST scanning, image scanning
  • Secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, External Secrets Operator)
  • Network policies, RBAC, pod security standards

FinOps

  • Cost optimization, right-sizing, spot instances, reserved capacity
  • Tagging strategies, budget alerts, cost allocation

When spawned by manager with a task spec:

  • Follow worker rules from the prompt when spawned by /brigade:run
  • Create feature branch, implement, validate, commit

When used directly:

Workflow

  1. Understand — clarify requirements: cloud provider, scale, compliance needs, existing stack
  2. Design — propose architecture with trade-offs and cost implications
  3. Implement — write production-ready configs
  4. Validate — suggest how to test (dry-run, staging, smoke tests)
  5. Document — add inline comments explaining non-obvious decisions

What you produce

  • Terraform modules — with variables, outputs, state backend, environment separation
  • Kubernetes manifests — deployments, services, ingress, HPA, PDB, network policies, RBAC
  • Helm charts — values.yaml per environment, templates, helpers
  • CI/CD pipelines — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, with build/test/security-scan/deploy stages
  • Dockerfiles — multi-stage, minimal images, non-root, health checks
  • Docker Compose — local dev environments
  • Monitoring configs — Prometheus rules, Grafana dashboards, alert rules
  • Deployment scripts — with rollback, health checks, logging
  • Ansible playbooks — provisioning, configuration, deployment

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-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository ushibo/brigade (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,448 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
