Senior Devops
Ship and run production pipelines with senior-level CI/CD patterns, security, and scaling guidance while coding with an agent.
Overview
Senior DevOps is an agent skill most often used in Ship (also Build integrations, Operate infra) that supplies CI/CD patterns, pipeline guidelines, and senior-level DevOps practices for agent-assisted implementation.
Install
npx skills add https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --skill senior-devopsWhat is this skill?
- Reference patterns for best-practice CI/CD implementation with TypeScript-oriented examples
- Guidelines for code organization, performance bottlenecks, monitoring, and scaling
- Security best practices spanning validation, authn/authz, and data protection
- Documented anti-patterns to avoid in pipeline and infrastructure design
- Curated tools and further-reading pointers for senior DevOps workflows
Adoption & trust: 1k installs on skills.sh; 27.8k GitHub stars; 3/3 security scanners passed (skills.sh audits).
What problem does it solve?
You are shipping without a consistent CI/CD mental model and your agent keeps inventing ad-hoc pipeline steps.
Who is it for?
Solo builders designing or upgrading GitHub Actions, container builds, and release automation who want a durable reference the agent can follow.
Skip if: Teams that only need a single click-deploy integration with no pipeline ownership, or greenfield apps with zero deploy requirements yet.
When should I use this skill?
You need comprehensive senior DevOps and CI/CD reference patterns while implementing or reviewing pipelines with an agent.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get structured patterns, security-aware pipeline guidance, and anti-pattern guardrails your agent can apply across repos and deploy targets.
- Pipeline or workflow sketches aligned to documented patterns
- Checklist-driven security and performance notes for deploy paths
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
CI/CD and release automation sit canonically on the Ship phase when you are preparing to merge, build artifacts, and deploy safely. Launch subphase covers pipeline design, release gates, and deployment practices—not one-off coding tasks.
Where it fits
Align build scripts and artifact outputs with the pipeline patterns before merging feature work.
Draft or refactor a CI/CD workflow with documented benefits and trade-offs instead of copy-paste YAML.
Apply monitoring, bottleneck, and scaling sections when post-launch traffic grows.
How it compares
Use as a procedural DevOps playbook instead of asking the agent for generic “set up CI” without pattern constraints.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is senior-devops for?
Solo and indie developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex who act as their own platform engineer and want CI/CD guidance embedded in agent workflows.
When should I use senior-devops?
During Ship when defining release pipelines and launch gates; during Build when wiring integrations that affect deploy artifacts; and during Operate when iterating on monitoring, scaling, and infra hygiene.
Is senior-devops safe to install?
Review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page and treat any skill that suggests shell, git, or network access as requiring your normal repo and secrets hygiene before running commands.
