takeaseat devops-skills

Agent skills that make Claude Code (and other AI coding agents) genuinely better at infrastructure, scheduling, and configuration work. Battle-tested, zero-dependency, no telemetry.

What's in here

A growing collection of focused skills for the tedious, error-prone parts of DevOps — the config that silently breaks at 3am, the cron schedule that never fires, the env drift between staging and prod.

Each skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md (instructions + metadata) and, where useful, zero-dependency scripts and reference docs the agent loads on demand.

Skills

Skill What it does Status
cron-doctor Diagnose cron expressions — impossible schedules, OR-semantics traps, midnight spikes, drift free
env-drift-hunter Find env var drift across .env files before deploy (12-language scan) free
dockerfile-auditor Audit Dockerfiles for layer bloat, cache misses, security smells pro
ci-pipeline-doctor Diagnose CI/CD pipeline failures, flaky tests, slow stages pro
k8s-manifest-linter Lint Kubernetes manifests for best practices + common pitfalls pro
secret-scanner Scan repos for leaked secrets before they hit git history pro

Install

# Clone into your Claude skills directory
git clone https://github.com/takeaseatventure/devops-skills.git
cp -r devops-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

# Or, if you use Claude Code's plugin system:
# See skills.sh for one-click install

Each skill folder follows the Agent Skills spec: a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, plus optional scripts/ and reference/ dirs.

Why these skills exist

DevOps work is full of "silent failures" — things that pass every check until they don't. A cron expression like 0 0 30 2 * is syntactically valid but never fires (February has no 30th). An env file that's missing SENTRY_DSN in local won't error until production crashes. These skills teach your AI agent to catch these before they ship.

The cron engine alone (cron-doctor/scripts/cron-engine.js) is 638 lines of battle-tested, zero-dependency code with 69 passing tests. It's the same engine powering our Cron Helper VS Code extension and cron validation API.

Pro tier

The Pro skills (dockerfile-auditor, ci-pipeline-doctor, k8s-manifest-linter, secret-scanner) are available with an All-Access Pro license. They add deeper analysis, CI integration, and team workflows.

👉 Get Pro — $8/mo — unlocks every Pro skill plus all five takeaseat VS Code extensions and the cron API.

License

The free skills are MIT licensed. The Pro skills are source-available under the Pro license (see each skill's LICENSE).
