DevOps & Infrastructure Skill
Automatically optimizes Docker configurations, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure code.
When This Skill Activates
Claude invokes this skill when you:
- Show a Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml
- Ask about CI/CD optimization
- Mention container security
- Discuss deployment strategies
- Work with infrastructure code
What This Skill Does
1. Dockerfile Optimization
Checks for:
- Multi-stage builds
- Minimal base images (alpine/slim)
- Layer caching optimization
- Security (non-root user, specific versions)
- Image size reduction
- Build speed improvements
Example Optimization:
# Before: 995MB
FROM python:3.11
COPY . /app
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
# After: 145MB (85% reduction)
FROM python:3.11-slim AS builder
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --user --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
FROM python:3.11-slim
COPY --from=builder /root/.local /root/.local
COPY . /app
USER appuser:1001
2. CI/CD Pipeline Optimization
Checks for:
- Dependency caching
- Parallel job execution
- Matrix strategies
- Secrets management
- Permissions (least privilege)
- Security scanning integration
3. Container Security
Checks for:
- Running as root
- Exposed secrets
- Vulnerable base images
- Missing health checks
- Resource limits
- Network security
4. Infrastructure-as-Code Review
Supports:
- Terraform
- CloudFormation
- Kubernetes manifests
- docker-compose files
Archetype-Specific Optimizations
For rag-project:
- Optimize OpenSearch JVM settings
- Ollama model caching
- Redis connection pooling
- Multi-stage build for Python dependencies
For api-service:
- Separate worker and API images
- Celery resource optimization
- Database connection pooling
- Health check configuration
For frontend:
- Next.js standalone output
- Static asset optimization
- Build caching strategies
- Environment variable handling
Output Format
Provides:
- Current Issues: Problems identified
- Optimized Configuration: Improved version
- Improvements: Size/speed/security gains
- Migration Steps: How to apply changes
- Testing: Verification steps
Example Usage
User: "Review my Dockerfile for production"
Claude: [Activates devops-infrastructure skill]
- Identifies single-stage build (large image)
- Suggests multi-stage optimization
- Adds security hardening
- Provides optimized Dockerfile
Result: 995MB → 145MB (85% reduction)
