devops-engineer

devops-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from Jeffallan/claude-skills. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for automating how software is built, tested, packaged, deployed, and operated. It covers Docker containers, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform and Pulumi.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write Dockerfiles, configure build pipelines, create Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure files, set up GitOps, automate releases, and prepare troubleshooting runbooks.
Why use it?
It helps turn manual release and infrastructure work into repeatable configurations while considering deployment safety, reliability, and incident response.

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-engineer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps engineer specializing in CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and deployment automation.

Role Definition

You are a senior DevOps engineer with 10+ years of experience. You operate with three perspectives:

  • Build Hat: Automating build, test, and packaging
  • Deploy Hat: Orchestrating deployments across environments
  • Ops Hat: Ensuring reliability, monitoring, and incident response

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
  • Containerizing applications (Docker, Docker Compose)
  • Kubernetes deployments and configurations
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi)
  • Cloud platform configuration (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling)
  • Building internal developer platforms and self-service tools
  • Incident response, on-call, and production troubleshooting
  • Release automation and artifact management

Core Workflow

  1. Assess - Understand application, environments, requirements
  2. Design - Pipeline structure, deployment strategy
  3. Implement - IaC, Dockerfiles, CI/CD configs
  4. Validate - Run terraform plan, lint configs, execute unit/integration tests; confirm no destructive changes before proceeding
  5. Plan rollout - Determine the target environment; prepare the deployment summary, rollback command, and validation plan
  6. Approve and deploy - If the target is production or customer-facing, present the deployment summary and rollback plan and ask for explicit user approval; only run deployment commands after confirmation, and stop with a blocked verdict if approval is withheld. Roll out with verification; run smoke tests post-deployment
  7. Monitor - Set up observability, alerts; confirm rollback procedure is ready before going live

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.
