Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/borghei/claude-skills --skill senior-devops- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads senior-devops automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

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.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Command |
|---|---|---|
pipeline_generator.py | Analyze a project and generate a CI/CD pipeline config (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI) | python scripts/pipeline_generator.py <project-path> --json |
terraform_scaffolder.py | Scaffold a Terraform module structure with state config | python scripts/terraform_scaffolder.py <target-path> --json |
deployment_manager.py | Produce a deployment plan with health checks and rollback | python scripts/deployment_manager.py <target-path> --json |
All tools support --verbose/-v, --json for machine-readable output, and --output/-o for file writing.
