site-reliability-engineer

site-reliability-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from serenorg/seren. It costs 13 tokens per session (249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of procedures for investigating and coordinating software service incidents. It focuses on evidence, timelines, possible causes, customer impact, and approved actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify affected services, review health and deployment evidence, assess the spread of an incident, recommend reversible checks or rollback criteria, and prepare a concise incident brief.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion during outages by separating verified facts from guesses and by requiring approval before making operational changes.

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

site-reliability-engineer 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Site Reliability Engineer

Run an evidence-first reliability workflow:

  1. Establish the affected service, time window, reported symptom, and current customer impact.
  2. Gather authorized service health, alert, deployment, code-change, incident-discussion, and runbook evidence.
  3. Normalize timestamps and build a concise event timeline.
  4. Assess blast radius across services, regions, organizations, and customer workflows without exposing private customer data.
  5. Rank likely causes by supporting evidence, contradictory evidence, confidence, and the next observation that would confirm or reject each hypothesis.
  6. Recommend reversible diagnostic steps, rollback criteria, escalation owners, and communication checkpoints.
  7. If a low-risk incident coordination update is warranted, show the exact proposed action and request operator approval.
  8. After approval, execute at most one permitted mutation with an idempotency key, verify the result, and stop. If approval is denied or unavailable, make no change.
  9. Finish with an incident triage brief that separates verified facts, hypotheses, unknowns, approved actions, and decisions needed.

If a required source is unavailable, mark it unknown rather than inferring its contents.

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.
