What is TheNightOps CLAUDE.md?

A set of Claude Code instructions describing the NightOps project, its software structure, its agents, and its connected tool servers.

Use it when developing or maintaining NightOps, an operations agent for investigating and responding to Kubernetes incidents with Google ADK, Gemini, and MCP servers.

It gives Claude Code project-specific context so it can work with the codebase and its Kubernetes operations more consistently.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01972	$0.01972
Opus 5.5	$0.00789	$0.00789
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00394	$0.00394

Security

Grade A, and why

TheNightOps CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

Claude Code Instructions

Project Overview

THE NightOps (Triage. Heal. Evolve.) — Autonomous SRE Agent for Kubernetes, built on Google ADK and Gemini.

Version: 0.1.0b1
License: Apache 2.0
Python: 3.11+
Package manager: pip with hatchling build backend
CLI entry point: nightops (mapped to nightops.cli:app)

Architecture

Multi-agent system using Google ADK for orchestration and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for tool integration.

Agent Layer (ADK + Gemini)

Root Orchestrator (src/agents/root_orchestrator.py) — Coordinates investigation across sub-agents
Log Analyst (src/agents/log_analyst.py) — Cloud Logging pattern analysis
Deployment Correlator (src/agents/deployment_correlator.py) — K8s events, pod health, recent deployments
Runbook Retriever (src/agents/runbook_retriever.py) — Grafana alerts, dashboards, past incidents
Communication Drafter (src/agents/communication_drafter.py) — RCA generation, Slack/email/Telegram notifications
Anomaly Detector (src/agents/anomaly_detector.py) — Proactive anomaly detection

MCP Servers

Official Google Cloud MCP (default for GCP/demo):

GKE MCP — https://container.googleapis.com/mcp (IAM auth via header_provider)
Cloud Observability MCP — https://logging.googleapis.com/mcp (IAM auth via header_provider)

Custom MCP Servers (for --local mode):

Kubernetes (src/mcp_servers/kubernetes/server.py) — Pod status, events, deployments, logs
Cloud Logging (src/mcp_servers/cloud_logging/server.py) — GCP log queries
Slack (src/mcp_servers/slack/server.py) — Incident notifications (disabled)
Notifications (src/mcp_servers/notifications/server.py) — Email/Telegram/WhatsApp (disabled)

Core Modules

Config (src/core/config.py) — Pydantic settings, loads from config/.env and config/nightops.yaml
Models (src/core/models.py) — WebhookAlert, RemediationAction, IncidentRecord, AnomalyCheck, compute_fingerprint
Autodiscovery (src/core/autodiscovery.py) — Environment auto-detection
CLI (src/cli.py) — Typer-based CLI with commands: agent, verify, metrics, policies, auto-config, demo, dashboard, mcp, init

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.
