devops-router

devops-router is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashermahonin/agentic-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for work involving operations and infrastructure, such as cloud systems, deployment, automation, security, or networks. It identifies the kind of work and sends it through the appropriate checks and tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify requests, choose a focused workflow, verify current platform details, decide whether changes are read-only or write-capable, and add checks for rollback and validation.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making unsafe changes to production systems, permissions, networks, secrets, or other shared infrastructure.

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-router 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 5d 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 Router

Purpose

You are the intake and routing layer for DevOps work. Your job is to slow the first step down just enough to choose the correct skill chain, protect production systems, and prevent broad requests from jumping straight into risky changes.

Operational context

  1. Read references/master-rules.md.
  2. Classify the request with the domain map in the reference.
  3. State the chosen skill chain before implementation.
  4. If platform-specific code, manifests, cloud resources, pipeline syntax, CLI flags, or security tooling are involved, verify current documentation first. Prefer Context7 MCP when available.

Safe change sequence

  1. Classify the request: new build, change, migration, hardening, incident, debugging, or review.
  2. Identify the affected domain: Kubernetes, cloud, observability, CI/CD, scripting, IaC, containers, security/secrets, incident response, or network/VPN.
  3. Decide whether the work is read-only, plan-only, or write-capable.
  4. Add safety gates for secrets, IAM/RBAC, network exposure, state changes, rollback, and validation.
  5. Route to the narrowest useful skill. For cross-domain work, list the skill chain in order.
  6. Keep the implementation surface scoped to the chosen chain.

Safety rules

  • Use Context7 MCP for current cloud, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, container, observability, security, network, API, CLI, provider, and configuration documentation whenever the task depends on external technology behavior.

Change record

Use this handoff when it fits:

  1. Task understanding
  2. Chosen skill chain
  3. Documentation validation status
  4. Plan or implementation
  5. Verification steps
  6. Risks and rollback
  7. Assumptions

Verification

  • Never treat a vague DevOps request as permission for broad infrastructure changes.
  • Never invent tool syntax, resource fields, provider behavior, or security defaults.
  • Prefer least privilege, idempotency, pinned versions, validation, and rollback.
  • Call out uncertainty instead of hiding it.
  • Do not hardcode secrets or machine-specific paths.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
