What it does
Gem Devops Guidelines is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Design or review infrastructure, deployment, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, health checks, rollback, feature flags, production readiness, and mobile release workflows. Use for DevOps, platform, container, pipeline, or release tasks.
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration, Containers and Deployment. It works with Kubernetes, Docker and Expo. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7cce7cf. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
easkubectlvercel
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl and vercel, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Gem Devops Guidelines loads about 743 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- gem-devops-guidelines
- description
- Design or review infrastructure, deployment, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, health checks, rollback, feature flags, production readiness, and mobile release workflows. Use for DevOps, platform, container, pipeline, or release tasks.
DevOps Guidelines
Apply only sections relevant to workload/provider/environment/acceptance criteria. Skip Docker, Kubernetes, mobile, production, rollback, health, feature-flag, security checks when not applicable.
Deployment strategy
- Rolling (default): gradual, zero-downtime replacement.
- Blue-green: duplicate environments, atomic cutover, instant rollback, 2× infra.
- Canary: route small % first; requires traffic splitting.
Docker
- Pin base-image tags (
node:22-alpine); NEVER:latest. - Multi-stage builds + non-root user. Copy deps first for caching.
.dockerignore:node_modules,.git, tests. DefineHEALTHCHECK+ resource limits.
Kubernetes
Configure startup, readiness, liveness probes with workload-appropriate initial delays/thresholds.
CI/CD
- PR: lint -> typecheck -> unit -> integration -> preview.
- Main: build -> staging -> smoke -> production.
Health and shutdown
- Simple:
GET /health->{ "status": "ok" }. - Detailed: dependencies, uptime, version.
- Services MUST expose meaningful health + gracefully handle
SIGTERMwhen workload requires it.
Configuration
Use environment variables (Twelve-Factor), separated by environment. Validate at startup + fail fast. NEVER commit secrets or hard-code NODE_ENV=production.
Rollback
- Kubernetes:
kubectl rollout undo. - Vercel:
vercel rollback. - Docker: redeploy previous pinned image.
Feature Flags
- Lifecycle: create -> enable -> 5% -> 25% -> 50% -> 100% -> remove flag + dead code.
- Every flag MUST have owner, expiration, rollback trigger. Remove within two weeks.
Checklists
- Pre-deploy: passing tests, code review, env vars, migrations, rollback plan.
- Post-deploy: healthy, monitored, old pods terminated, outcome documented.
- Production: passing tests; no hardcoded secrets; JSON logs; meaningful health; pinned versions; validated env vars; resource limits; TLS; CVE scan; CORS; rate limiting; CSP/HSTS/X-Frame-Options; tested rollback; runbook; on-call.
- Apply security/CVE checks to executable or security-sensitive workloads.
Mobile Deployment
- EAS:
eas build:configure;eas build -p ios|android --profile preview;eas update --branch production;--auto-submit. - Fastlane: iOS
match/cert/sigh/pilot; Android Gradle/supply. - Credentials in env/secret storage, never Git. Automate iOS signing with
fastlane match; usekeytool+ Google Play App Signing for Android. - TestFlight: internal instant; external 90 days/100 testers. Google Play: internal/beta/production. Expect 1–7 days review.
- Rollback: EAS
eas update:rollback; native release -> revert build; store release -> reduce phased rollout.
