devops-tooling

A set of rules for planning and operating software delivery infrastructure, such as automated builds, deployments, containers, monitoring, and recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps select tools and approaches for infrastructure as code, CI/CD, deployments, scaling, observability, alerting, service targets, and cost reporting.
Why use it?
It helps teams account for deployment risk, downtime, scaling, security, system visibility, alerts, and operating costs.

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-tooling 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.

DevOps Tooling & Operations

DevOps decisions must cover deployability, scalability, downtime strategy, observability, reporting, security, and recovery. Tools are selected by capability, not trend.

Stack by Category

  • IaC: Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Bicep.
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Buildkite.
  • GitOps / Deploy: Argo CD, Flux, Helm, Kustomize.
  • Containers / Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/Fargate, Cloud Run.
  • Scalability: Kubernetes HPA/VPA, KEDA, autoscaling groups, managed load balancers, CDN.
  • Downtime Strategy: rolling deploys, blue-green, canary, dark launch, feature flags with LaunchDarkly, Unleash, or OpenFeature.
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry for instrumentation; Prometheus/Grafana for metrics; Loki, ELK, or OpenSearch for logs; Tempo or Jaeger for traces; Datadog, New Relic, or Dynatrace when SaaS is preferred.
  • Alerting / On-Call: Alertmanager, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Grafana OnCall.
  • SLO / Error Budgets: Nobl9, Sloth, Pyrra, Grafana SLO, Datadog SLO.
  • Infra Reporting / FinOps: Kubecost, OpenCost, Infracost, cloud cost explorers, Grafana dashboards.
  • Security DevOps: Trivy, Grype, Snyk, Dependabot, Renovate, Checkov, tfsec, Semgrep, CodeQL.
  • Secrets: HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, SOPS with age.
  • Backups / DR: Velero, cloud-native backups, database PITR, restore drills.
  • Performance / Load Testing: k6, Artillery, Locust, JMeter.
  • Synthetic Monitoring: Checkly, Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring, Datadog Synthetics, Playwright scheduled checks.

Operational Design Gates

  • Every non-trivial system design must include scalability, downtime, observability, security, cost, and recovery considerations.
  • Do not approve infrastructure or release changes without deployment, rollback, monitoring, and ownership details.
  • Prefer managed services when they reduce operational risk without creating unacceptable lock-in or cost exposure.
  • Record tool choices and major operational trade-offs in an ADR when they affect long-term operations.
  • CI/CD, IaC, runbooks, and operational scripts that repeat command matrices, provider lists, environment maps, or resource collections must load the collection-standards skill.
  • Local Docker stacks must publish ports on 127.0.0.1 unless the task explicitly requires LAN/public access and Security has accepted the risk. Databases, caches, queues, admin UIs, metrics backends, and Docker socket access are private by default.

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-tooling is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository jterratsdev/ableton-live-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 992 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 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.
