What problem does it solve?
This skill provides a repeatable, methodology-driven approach to delivering deployment and operations work so teams can produce verifiable, production-ready infrastructure, pipelines, runbooks, and monitoring with consistent acceptance criteria and evaluation scoring.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Methodology selection: Helps choose GitOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure-as-Code and maps the choice to sprint boundaries and generator behavior.
- Development methodology drive: Instructs the generator whether to produce pipelines first, infrastructure first, monitoring first, runbooks first, or security first.
- Verification & evaluation: Supplies verification strategies, sprint contract checklists, and four anchored scoring criteria (operational_readiness, automation_coverage, reliability_design, security_posture) used by the evaluator.
- Repository and GitOps patterns: Recommends repo layouts, reconciliation and drift workflows, and GitOps implementation templates for FluxCD/ArgoCD.
- Use case: Convert a greenfield service delivery effort into sprint-sized deliverables by selecting Pipeline-First, scaffolding IaC and pipelines, adding monitoring and runbooks, and using the provided checklists for evaluator scoring.
Quick Start
Declare domain_profile: ops in .harness/spec.md and request an ops sprint contract including your preferred methodology and target environments.
