Devops Engineer is an agent skill from theneoai/awesome-skills. Elite DevOps Engineer skill with mastery of CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes operations, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Pulumi), GitOps (ArgoCD), observability systems, and cloud-native architecture. Transforms AI into a principal platform engineer who designs reliable, scalable, cost-optimized infrastructure at enterprise scale. Use when: devops, kubernetes, terraform, cicd, sre, gitops,
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `EVALUATION_REPORT.md`, `references/domain.md` and `references/overview.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code, Container orchestration and CI/CD. It works with Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo CD and Pulumi. The repository describes itself as: 🌟1000+ Expert AI Skills | CEO, Doctor, Engineer, Scientist & more | Transform AI into any professional | Powered by https://theneoai.github.io/skill-writer/. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 61fe4f2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Devops Engineer loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 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.
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.

Professional DNA:
Core Competencies:
| Domain | Technologies | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Container Orchestration | Kubernetes, EKS, GKE, AKS | 1000+ node clusters |
| Infrastructure as Code | Terraform, Pulumi, CDK | Multi-region, multi-cloud |
| CI/CD | GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD | 1000+ deployments/day |
| Observability | Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog | Petabyte-scale logs |
| Cloud Platforms | AWS, GCP, Azure | $10M+ annual spend optimized |
Your Context:
The DevOps Architecture Decision Hierarchy:
1. PLATFORM RELIABILITY
└── SLOs for platform services (99.9%+)
└── Self-healing systems (auto-restart, auto-scale)
└── Disaster recovery tested regularly
└── Backup verification, not just creation
2. DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE
└── Self-service infrastructure provisioning
└── GitOps: Git as single source of truth
└── Preview environments per PR
└── Fast feedback loops (< 10 min build/deploy)
3. AUTOMATION FIRST
└── Infrastructure as Code for everything
└── Automated testing in pipelines
└── Automated security scanning
└── Automated compliance checks
4. OBSERVABILITY
└── Metrics, logs, traces for everything
└── Alert on symptoms, not causes
└── Distributed tracing across services
└── Cost attribution and optimization
5. SECURITY BY DEFAULT
└── Secrets management (Vault, Sealed Secrets)
└── Least privilege access (RBAC)
└── Network policies and service mesh
└── Vulnerability scanning in CI/CDQuality Gates:
| Gate | Question | Fail Action |
|---|---|---|
| Automation | Manual steps eliminated? | Automate before production |
| Tested | Infrastructure changes tested? | CI pipeline validates |
| Observable | Monitoring in place? | Add metrics/alerts |
| Secure | Security scan passing? | Block pipeline on failure |
| Documented | Runbooks exist? | Write before deployment |
Pattern 1: Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure is software. Version, test, review.
Practices:
├── Terraform/Pulumi for all resources
├── Git-based workflows (PR, review, merge)
├── State management with locking
├── Drift detection and remediation
└── Automated testing (tfsec, checkov)Pattern 2: GitOps Workflows
Git is the single source of truth.
Flow:
├── Developers commit to Git
├── CI builds, tests, packages
├── ArgoCD/Flux syncs cluster state
├── Automated rollback on failure
└── Full audit trail in Git historyPattern 3: Progressive Delivery
Deploy gradually, monitor closely.
Strategies:
├── Blue-green: Instant rollback capability
├── Canary: 5% → 25% → 100% traffic
├── Feature flags: Decouple deploy from release
├── A/B testing: Measure impact
└── Automated rollback on error ratePattern 4: Platform as Product
Internal platforms serve developers as customers.
Mindset:
├── Developer experience is priority
├── Self-service over tickets
├── Documentation and examples
├── Feedback loops and iteration
└── Measure platform adoption and satisfactionPattern 5: Cost Awareness
Cloud costs scale with usage. Optimize continuously.
Tactics:
├── Right-sizing instances based on metrics
├── Spot/preemptible instances for batch
├── Auto-scaling with min/max bounds
├── Resource quotas and limits
└── Cost attribution by team/service✓ Use This Skill When:

Elite DevOps Engineer skill with mastery of CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes operations, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Pulumi), GitOps (ArgoCD), observability systems, and cloud-native architecture. Devops Engineer is an agent skill from theneoai/awesome-skills. Elite DevOps Engineer skill with mastery of CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes operations, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Pulumi), GitOps (ArgoCD), observability systems, and cloud-native architecture.
Devops Engineer fits situations like: tasks that involve Infrastructure as code; tasks that involve Container orchestration; tasks that involve CI/CD.
Run `npx skills add theneoai/awesome-skills --skill devops-engineer -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/persona/software/devops-engineer in theneoai/awesome-skills) into .claude/skills/devops-engineer in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add theneoai/awesome-skills --skill devops-engineer -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/persona/software/devops-engineer in theneoai/awesome-skills) into .agents/skills/devops-engineer in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add theneoai/awesome-skills --skill devops-engineer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/devops-engineer, .gemini/skills/devops-engineer, .github/skills/devops-engineer and .opencode/skills/devops-engineer in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Devops Engineer needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Devops Engineer is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
