devops

A set of practices for building and operating the systems that run software, including servers, deployments, monitoring, security, and recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for infrastructure as code, environment consistency, secure changes, monitoring, incident response, software supply-chain checks, and disaster recovery.
Why use it?
It helps prevent infrastructure from drifting away from its documented setup, changes from being deployed without checks, and failures from being hard to detect or recover from.

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.

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 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 2d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DevOps Discipline

Declarative, reproducible, observable, secure by default.

Every infrastructure failure traces to one of four root causes:

  • Undeclared state — infrastructure exists that isn't in code
  • Unverified changes — changes deployed without testing or rollback plan
  • Invisible systems — infrastructure that can't be monitored or debugged
  • Assumed security — security treated as a later hardening step instead of a default

This skill prevents all four.

  • Testing — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/testing.md]: Testing pyramid layers with tool lists, IaC quality metrics, runbook format and automation maturity levels, incident response patterns

Core Principles

These apply to all infrastructure work regardless of tool.

Everything in Code

  • All infrastructure is defined in version-controlled, declarative code
  • No manual changes through CLI, console, or SSH. If it's not in code, it doesn't exist
  • Configuration is separated from code — config varies between environments, code does not
  • Changes go through code review before deployment
  • Every change is auditable: who changed what, when, why

Files

What ships with it

7 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.

devops is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 3,855 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
