Metadata
- **Stars:** 174 (below typical threshold but reviewed for novelty)
- **License:** Apache-2.0
- **Last pushed:** 2026-03-27
- **Description:** A practical agent skill pack for DevOps work in Claude Code and Codex.
Archetype: Plugin + Specialization Processes (DevOps domain)
Structure
- skills/ — 31 skills organized as generator/validator/debugger pairs: - Generators (16): ansible, azure-pipelines, bash-script, dockerfile, fluentbit, github-actions, gitlab-ci, helm, jenkinsfile, k8s-yaml, loki-config, logql, makefile, promql, terraform, terragrunt - Validators (14): matching validators for each generator (except loki-config, logql) - Debugger (1): k8s-debug
devops-skills-plugin/— Full plugin package with.claude-plugin/and.codex-plugin/manifestsaction.yml— GitHub Action wrapper aroundanthropics/claude-code-action@v1with auto-injectiondocs/,examples/,scripts/— Supporting materials
Extractable Value
As Babysitter Processes: `specializations/devops/`
The generator/validator pair pattern is a strong methodology concept: 1. **Generator skills** — Scaffold production-ready configs for specific tools (Terraform, Helm, Dockerfiles, CI pipelines, etc.) 2. **Validator skills** — Lint, security-check, and dry-run validate generated configs 3. **k8s-debug** — Systematic Kubernetes debugging with safety rules for disruptive commands, prerequisite checks, and snapshot-before-modify patterns
The k8s-debug skill is particularly well-structured:
- Deterministic, safety-first workflow
- Read-only diagnosis before disruptive actions
- Explicit confirmation gates for destructive commands (delete --force, drain, rollout restart)
- Pre-action state snapshots for rollback
Plugin Idea: `devops-skills`
Already structured as a plugin with marketplace install support. Could be assimilated as a marketplace plugin pattern reference.
Key Differentiators
- The generator/validator pairing pattern is a reusable methodology concept
- k8s-debug's safety-first approach with breakpoint-like confirmation gates maps well to babysitter's breakpoint system
- Already has both Claude and Codex plugin manifests (cross-harness)
- GitHub Action wrapper pattern is interesting for CI integration

Classification Rationale
Domain-specific (DevOps), so specializations/devops-sre-platform/. The generator/validator pair pattern could also inform a shared methodology. Despite lower star count, the content quality and structural patterns are novel and well-executed.
