DevOps & Infra
DevOps agent skills automate the delivery side of software: CI/CD pipelines, Dockerfiles, infrastructure as code, releases, and incident checklists. A skill gives your AI agent the exact runbook to follow, so deployments and configs come out consistent every time.

pedrohcgs Skill Compress SessionDistill the current conversation into a structured note (decisions made, open questions, file pointers with line numbers, next 1–3 actions) and save to `quality_reports/session_logs/` before auto-compression. Differs from `/checkpoint` (explicit stop-point snapshot) and from auto-compaction (which truncates rather than distills).
