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.

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 | $0.00027 | $0.02230 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00892 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00446 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00223 |
Grade A, and why
devops-deployment 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 1mo 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 — 390 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
DevOps & Deployment Skill
Use this skill when deploying applications, creating container images, automating infrastructure, setting up CI/CD pipelines, or managing Kubernetes/OpenShift resources.
When to Use This Skill
- Building Docker images
- Creating Kubernetes/OpenShift manifests
- Writing Ansible playbooks
- Setting up CI/CD pipelines
- Configuring production environments
- Implementing health checks and monitoring
- Troubleshooting deployment issues
Core Technologies
- Docker for containerization
- Kubernetes/OpenShift for orchestration
- Ansible for automation
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- Nginx for frontend serving
Key Principles
- Infrastructure as Code - Define infrastructure in version-controlled files
- Immutable Infrastructure - Build once, deploy everywhere
- Security by Default - Run as non-root, scan images, use secrets
- Observability - Implement health checks, logging, and monitoring
- Automation - Automate builds, tests, and deployments
Quick Reference
Multi-Stage Dockerfile (Frontend)
# Build stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# Production stage
FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

What ships with it
1 file 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.
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-deployment is a skill published in the GitHub repository ibm-self-serve-assets/building-blocks (28 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,230 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
