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.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.01536 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00768 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00307 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
gitops-workflows 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 4d 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.

GitOps Workflows
Expert guidance for implementing production-grade GitOps workflows using ArgoCD and Flux CD, covering declarative deployment patterns, progressive delivery strategies, multi-environment management, and secure secret handling for Kubernetes infrastructure.
When to Use This Skill
- Implementing GitOps principles for Kubernetes deployments
- Automating continuous delivery from Git repositories
- Managing multi-cluster or multi-environment deployments
- Implementing progressive delivery (canary, blue-green) strategies
- Configuring automated sync policies and reconciliation
- Managing secrets securely in GitOps workflows
- Setting up environment promotion workflows
- Designing repository structures for GitOps (monorepo vs multi-repo)
- Implementing rollback strategies and disaster recovery
- Establishing compliance and audit trails through Git
Core Concepts
The Four Principles
- Declarative: Entire system state expressed in code
- Versioned: Canonical state stored in Git with full history
- Pulled Automatically: Agents pull desired state (no push to prod)
- Continuously Reconciled: Automatic drift detection and correction
Key Benefits
- Complete deployment history and audit trail
- Fast rollback via Git operations
- Enhanced security (no cluster credentials in CI)
- Self-healing infrastructure
- Multi-cluster consistency
- Familiar Git workflows for infrastructure 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.

gitops-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (38 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,536 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
