DevOps for CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, and Terraform. An agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills.

  • Containerizing apps

What it does

Senior Devops is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. DevOps for CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Use when building pipelines, containerizing apps, managing clusters, provisioning cloud infra, deploying with blue- green/canary, or handling infrastructure incidents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/cicd_pipeline_guide.md`, `references/cloud_platform_guide.md` and `references/deployment_strategies.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment, Infrastructure as code and CI/CD. It works with Terraform and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building pipelines
  • Containerizing apps
  • Managing clusters
  • Provisioning cloud infra

Example prompts

  • “Use the senior-devops skill to devop for CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, and Terraform. An agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills”
  • “/senior-devops”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9a1487. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Senior Devops loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Senior DevOps Engineer

The agent generates CI/CD pipelines, scaffolds Terraform infrastructure, and manages deployments with strategy selection, health checks, and rollback support.

Core Capabilities

  • CI/CD pipeline generation — fail-fast, cached, immutable-artifact pipelines for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI with matrix testing and promotion gates.
  • Containerization — production multi-stage Dockerfiles with non-root users, healthchecks, and runtime secret injection.
  • Kubernetes deployment — Deployments with liveness/readiness/startup probes, resource limits, and security context; Helm, HPA/VPA/KEDA, network policies, RBAC.
  • Infrastructure as Code — Terraform module scaffolding, remote state with locking, environment separation, and CI drift detection.
  • Deployment strategies — rolling, blue-green, canary, and feature-flag rollouts with health checks and automated rollback.
  • Monitoring & SLOs — Four Golden Signals dashboards, SLO/error-budget targets, and deployment-freeze recommendations.

When to Use

  • Building or optimizing a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Containerizing an app or deploying to Kubernetes.
  • Provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform.
  • Choosing and executing a deployment strategy (blue-green/canary).
  • Handling an infrastructure incident or rollback.

Clarify First

Before generating pipelines or infra, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • CI/CD platform — GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / CircleCI (changes the generated pipeline config)
  • Deployment strategy — rolling / blue-green / canary / feature-flag (sets health checks and rollback in the deployment plan)
  • Target cloud & IaC scope — provider and which Terraform modules are needed (drives terraform_scaffolder)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
